What is the reference lifetime held by the async ProtoRawEncoder? Can we use the 'static lifetime?

[antonmithun-work]

We use tokio::spawn to spin up a thread for wrapping the encoding and publishing logic. What lifetime does the async ProtoRawEncoder hold, and is it feasible to use the 'static lifetime in this case?

[antonmithun-work]

I believe I resolved the issue by using schema_registry_converter::async_impl::easy_proto_raw::EasyProtoRawEncoder instead.

[antonmithun-work]

but looks like easy_proto_raw::EasyProtoRawEncoder does not expose remove_errors_from_cache ?
so how long does the cache keep the entries ? what happens when a new schema is added ? does this mean we have to restart the service to get the latest schema ?

[antonmithun-work]

Since I wanted to clear the cache or include the below logic, I went back to encoder: ProtoRawEncoder<'static>,. So could you please let us know what reference it depends on or trust to be available ? just want to make sure if using static is safe enough

                    if error.retriable {
                        self.encoder.remove_errors_from_cache();
                    }```
