title: Avro schema versioning
body: <p>Sorry this is a beginner AVRO question.</p>
  
  <p>My Java microservice takes a payload request which has a schema version element, there can be a number of different versions of that payload each with a slightly different format.  Is it possible to do a lookup against the AVRO schema registry using that version number then use that schema to validate the received payload.</p>
  
  <p>Is this a valid and possible AVRO use case?</p>
  
  <p>The intention then is to process this data in the Java microservice some more before sending on-wards.</p>
  
  <p>Maybe AVRO is not the correct technology, but please advise if otherwise. </p>
