Introduce API registration, request context, version validation, and asynchronous error mapping. Fix request buffer ownership and response serialization cleanup while preserving the existing ApiVersions entry point. Validated with mvn -o -pl fluss-rpc,fluss-kafka verify.

Route requests through the dispatcher and advertise only implemented APIs. Return version-aware errors for unsupported APIs and invalid requests. Validated with mvn -o -pl fluss-kafka verify (23 unit tests and 1 IT). Co-Authored-By: Codex <noreply@openai.com> AI-Model: gpt-6 AI-Contributed/Feature: 313/313 AI-Contributed/UT: 137/137
Extract topic identity and the raw/string table mapping contract before Metadata. Validate table kinds, field projections and metadata columns independently of request handling and record decoding. Validation: Java 11, mvn -o -pl fluss-kafka clean verify (47 unit tests and 2 integration tests); Checkstyle, Spotless and RAT passed.

Purpose
Closes #4275. Part of #4185.
Define the shared DDL table mapping contract before Metadata and Produce, so both APIs can agree on topic identity, supported tables, and physical record fields. This is PR03 in the foundation sequence, based directly on PR02 (#4260, tracked by #4265); Metadata follows as PR04 (#4261 / #4266).
Brief change log
kafka.*custom properties for raw/string key and value formats.curator-testversion in test scope for the cluster fixture.Relative to PR02: 10 files, +1249 / -0 lines (769 production/build and 480 test lines). This keeps the complete table contract and its validation together; record decoding, Arrow encoding, Metadata handlers, Produce, JSON, and authentication remain separate PRs.
Tests
Validated on Java 11 at commit
6b9626d16d84b47e632ce9ab43f13af3fce116c1:mvn -o -pl fluss-kafka -am install -DskipTeststo build/install matching dependencies.mvn -o -pl fluss-kafka clean verify: 47 unit tests and 2 integration tests passed, including the native DDL round trip.git diff --checkpassed.The full repository test suite and a Flink SQL runtime were not run. The later delivery stage will cover the full DDL → Metadata → Kafka producer → Fluss readback workflow.
API and Format
Uses the existing table schema and custom-property storage.
kafka.value.formatis required; key mapping is optional. Raw and string map to one BYTES or STRING column respectively. Configured key fields requirekafka.value.fields-include=EXCEPT_KEY; timestamp and headers use explicitly named physical columns. There is no mandatory four-column envelope.No Kafka API is newly advertised by this PR. Table creation continues through existing Fluss DDL/Admin or the Flink catalog; Kafka CreateTopics/DeleteTopics and automatic creation are out of scope.
Documentation
The contract is described in this PR, source Javadoc and executable tests. User-facing delivery examples follow with the later Produce capability.
Stack and review
This PR remains a draft while its prerequisites are unmerged. It targets Apache
main, so the Files changed view includes the foundation prerequisites. Review DDL mapping alone using the incremental comparison against PR02.Generative AI disclosure: Codex assisted with implementation, testing, and commit organization. Human review is required before merge.
