Delay/avoid payload deserialization on non-matching CloudEvents with binary mode

[lmartella1]

In our application, we use SmallRye Reactive Messaging to build streaming microservices that communicate over Kafka, and we plan to adopt CloudEvents in binary format.

We want our processors to handle only those events that match specific criteria in the incoming CloudEvents metadata (for example, events with a particular type or source). To optimize performance, we aim to avoid unnecessary deserialization for messages that do not meet these criteria.

Currently, we rely on the automatic deserialization provided by reactive-messaging, which uses auto-discovery mechanisms.
Is it possible to defer or conditionally apply deserialization based on certain CloudEvents properties, such as type or source, so that only relevant messages are deserialized and processed?
