Support data serialized with Long
Is your proposal related to a problem?
Most of our topics have a Long type key but kafka-ui only support schema-registry based data or / UTF8 string (as I was told in issue #1709). We can therefore not see/filter records based on the key.
Describe the solution you'd like
Let the user change or choose the deserializer used to read the topic data for each individual topic
Describe alternatives you've considered
Can't think of a way to do this that would not either be heavy duck tape or change my topic data. I will not change my topic to fit a tool, I'd rather change the tool to fit my topics.
Additional context
Would it make sense to add support for other types, e.g. String and Integer, as part of this change, or would it be better to open separate issues for those other types? My team is running into this issue, and we use String and Integer keys/values in addition to Long.
