  === Deploying Confluent Schema Registry with {prodname} containers
  
  As of {prodname} 2.0.0, Confluent Schema Registry support is on part of the {prodname} containers.
  To make it working, you need to install into Connect plugin directory appropriate jar files which contain Confluent Avro converters.
  Namely, you would need following jar file:

  * `kafka-schema-serializer`
  * `kafka-schema-registry-client`
