io.confluent.connect.avro.AvroConverter could not be found about kafka-connect-twitter

Which docker container did you use? io.confluent.connect.avro.AvroConverter is in the classpath on a Confluent docker image for Kafka Connect. If you don't want Avro for the data you could use the JsonConverter that is shipped with Apache Kafka.

• Disclaimer I work for Confluent.

Humm, I was running connect-standalone from the broker image itself (confluentinc/cp-kafka:5.2.1) from https://github.com/jcustenborder/kafka-connect-twitter/blob/master/docker-compose.yml, I did not realize I needed confluentinc/cp-kafka-connect. It's the first time I'm setting up a connector so I'm still working my way around the ecosystem.

For future reference I forked the repo with a slightly modified docker-compose.yml and was able to launch this in standalone mode, though I'm not sure if the way I set things up is the way to go. I'll do some more reading.

Either way, thank you for the quick response! It solved the issue for me. Since this was a problem with my setup I'm closing the issue.

use the cp-connect image.
