Error serializing Avro message - Kafka Schema Registry

Question

I'm creating an avro class that contains a string and a map as fields. I can generate the avro class through maven, and i was able to create a registry in localhost:8081

.avsc file:

    {
"type":"record",
"name":"AvroClass",
"namespace":"belliPack.avro",
"fields":[
{
"name":"title",
"type":"string"
},
{
"name":"map",
"type": {"type": "map", "values": "double"}
}
]
}

Schema registry returns this: $ curl -X GET http://localhost:8081/subjects/teste1-value/versions/1

{"subject":"teste1-value","version":1,"id":42,"schema":"{"type":"record","name":"AvroClass","namespace":"belliPack.avro","fields":[{"name":"title","type":"string"},{"name":"map","type":{"type":"map","values":"double"}}]}"}

My Kafka Producer Class is:

public KafkaProducer<String, AvroClass> createKafkaProducer() {
    String bootstrapServer = "127.0.0.1:9092";
    String schemaRegistryURL = "127.0.0.1:8081";

    //create Producer properties
    Properties properties = new Properties();
    //kafka documentation>producer configs
    properties.setProperty(ProducerConfig.BOOTSTRAP_SERVERS_CONFIG, bootstrapServer);
    properties.setProperty(ProducerConfig.KEY_SERIALIZER_CLASS_CONFIG, StringSerializer.class.getName());
    properties.setProperty(ProducerConfig.VALUE_SERIALIZER_CLASS_CONFIG, KafkaAvroSerializer.class.getName());
    properties.setProperty(AbstractKafkaAvroSerDeConfig.SCHEMA_REGISTRY_URL_CONFIG,schemaRegistryURL);

    //create producer
    KafkaProducer<String, AvroClass> producer = new KafkaProducer<>(properties);
    return producer;
}

But when running my Kafka Producer have this error:

Answer 1

java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol

How would the client know if you want http or https? There's no default, so you must provide it on the registry url
