Use Glue schema registry when reading from Kinesis

Question

I want to store the schema for Avro formatted messages in Glue schema registry, and I want to use this schema when reading records from Kinesis data stream.
Currently, for reading records from the stream, I'm using something like:
avro_schemas = {
    "record1": """
        {
            "type": "record",
            "name": "record1",
            "fields": [
                {"name": "intField", "type": "int"},
                {"name": "strField", "type": "string"}
            ]
        }
    """
}

dataframe = glueContext.create_data_frame.from_options(
            connection_type="kinesis",
            connection_options={
                "typeOfData": "kinesis",
                "streamARN": ,
                "startingPosition": "latest",
                "classification": "avro",
                "inferSchema": "false",
                "avroSchema": avro_schema
            },
            transformation_ctx=f"kinesis_data_frame"
        )

How can I read the schema from the registry and use it to create the data frame?

You can use boto3 to get the schema:  https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/reference/services/glue/client/get_schema_version.html  
Normally you don't have to do that, you create a table based on the schema and then you use it in the streaming job.  
Check this: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/glue/latest/dg/add-job-streaming.html#create-table-streaming
