Description

Right now, both interfaces expect that an exception cannot be thrown. The issue I have with this is that if a message is received that cannot be properly decoded (something else wrote a bad message to the same topic) or if implementing an Avro Serde with an Avro Schema Repository Support, which could potentially not even have the schema registered (shouldn't happen, but still need to be able to handle in case it does).
