1.2.0

August 28, 2026

What’s New

  • This connector version requires Mule runtime 4.6.22 or later if you’re using Mule 4.6.x, or Mule runtime 4.9.9 or later if you’re using Mule 4.9.x. If you prefer not to upgrade your Mule runtime, use the connector version released immediately after this one.

  • The Replace id with AVRO schema operation can now optionally cache parsed Avro schemas so that, when the cache is enabled, each schema is parsed only once instead of on every message. The cache is disabled by default; enable it in the connector configuration by setting Maximum size to the number of distinct schemas to retain (0, the default, keeps the cache disabled). Optionally set Time to live and Time to live time unit to evict schemas that go idle. Enabling the cache is recommended for high-throughput flows that repeatedly resolve a bounded set of schemas — whether a single schema or a fixed group of them — such as streaming Kafka records off one or a handful of subjects, where it avoids redundant parsing. Set Maximum size to at least the number of distinct schemas the flow handles so all of them stay cached. For more information, see Config.

Fixed Issues

Issue Resolution ID

Avro schema processing is improved: the connector now avoids re-parsing Avro schemas on every message by caching parsed schemas, which reduces redundant work when a bounded set of schemas is resolved repeatedly under load.
