Hi All

We have an existing architecture where kafka messages about truck location are streamed. These messages are serialized by avro format. In pega application we need to build the consumer of that kafka topic and then process the location information and store it to a persisting database. We thought of implementing it via Data flow real time processing concept where kafka data set would be the source. Now kafka dataset need to deserialize the avro formated kafka messages. Our application is on Pega 7.3.1 which does not allow custom message de-serialization. 

Is there any alternative or can we ask custom deserialization feature to be available on Pega 7.3.1 ?
