Reading Time: 5 minutes Kafka Connect is a framework to stream data into and out of Apache Kafka. A few major concepts. Connectors – the high-level abstraction that coordinates data streaming by managing tasks Tasks – the implementation of that how data is copied from Kafka Workers – the running processes that execute connectors and tasks Converters – the code used to translate data between Connect and the system sending or receiving data Continue Reading
Reading Time: 3 minutes Overview: Hello everyone, in this blog, we will see an example of Kafka connect in which we will take a MySQL table, stream it to a Kafka topic, and from there load it to Elasticsearch and index its content. Installation: Now first of all we will install MySQL and Elastic search to our local system. For installing simply run: The next step is to make Continue Reading
Reading Time: 6 minutes Hello! In this article we will continue our journey of understanding Kafka Connect. We will try to understand the architecture and internals of it. We’ve seen that Kafka Connect is a pluggable component that helps to fed data into or from Kafka and hence provides flexible integration pipelines. It is inherently fault tolerant and sacalable. To work with any software component and get the most Continue Reading
Reading Time: 3 minutes We use Apache Kafka Connect for streaming data between Apache Kafka and other systems, scalably as well as reliably. Moreover, connect makes it very simple to quickly define Kafka connectors that move large collections of data into and out of Kafka. Kafka Connect collects metrics or takes the entire database from application servers into Kafka Topic. It can make available data with low latency for Continue Reading
Reading Time: 4 minutes As we know, We use connectors to copy data between Apache Kafka and other systems that we want to fetch or send data to. We can download the connector from Confluent Hub. So, in this blog, we will see how we can set up Confluent Hub on our local system. And how we can run confluent services like Kafka, zookeeper, schema registry, etc, etc. The first primary step is, if we have a windows Continue Reading
Reading Time: 3 minutes Kafka Connect Kafka Connect is an open-source component and framework to get it connected with external systems, including the databases. There are connectors that help to move huge data sets into and out of the Kafka system. Kafka Connect is only used to copy the streamed data, thus its scope is not broad. It executes as an independent process for testing and a distributed, scalable Continue Reading
Reading Time: 3 minutes The MongoDB Kafka connector is a Confluent-verified connector that persists data from Kafka topics as a data sink into MongoDB as well as publishes changes from MongoDB into Kafka topics as a data source. Apache Kafka The Apache Kafka is an open-source publish/subscribe messaging system. Apache Kafka provides a flexible, fault tolerant, and horizontally scalable system to move data throughout datastores and applications. A system is fault tolerant if the Continue Reading
Reading Time: 2 minutes In this blog we will learn how to read data from cassandra source connector and write it to the kafka topic. Cassandra source connector is used to read the data from the tables and write it into the Kafka topic in JSON format. PREREQUISITES Installation of Apache Cassandra Installation of Kafka and Kafka connect CONFIGURING CASSANDRA CONNECTOR The connectors are configured using Kafka Connect Query Language Continue Reading
Reading Time: 2 minutes Overview: In this blog, I am going to discuss how to use Kafka Connect to stream data. In this blog, I’ll be taking an example and then elaborate on it. That example will be based on how can we stream data which is file test.tx to a destination which is also a file, test.sink.txt with the help of Kafka connect. I will be using standalone Continue Reading
Reading Time: 3 minutes Let us discuss something about Kafka connector API and some basic fundamental of it and how to setup kafka connector in our system. Before start, we need to have basic knowledge of Kafka or we can go through this Document. We’ll have a look at: Kafka Connect API history Why kafka connect and Stream Setup and Launch kafka connector installation of Docker installation of Docker Continue Reading
Reading Time: 6 minutes In this blog we will talk about Apache Kafka and Kafka Connector. After reading this blog readers will be able to know about what Apache Kafka is and Kafka Connector. Apache Kafka: Apache Kafka is a distributed event store and stream-processing platform. This is an open-source system which is developed by the Apache Software Foundation and written in Java and Scala. The project aims to Continue Reading
Reading Time: 4 minutes Let us discuss something about Kafka connector and some basic fundamental of it. Before start, we need to have basic knowledge of Kafka or we can go through this Document. We’ll have a look at: What is Kafka Connect Why we need Kafka Connect/connector How kafka Connect works Source Connector Sink Connector Kafka Connector Framework Let’s how we can implement the kafka Connector framework 1- What Continue Reading
Reading Time: 3 minutes Overview In this blog, we are going to discuss Kafka connect/connectors in detail. If you want a basic introduction to Kafka Connect then you can refer to this blog. Now we will understand concepts such as Kafka Connect, Kafka connectors, and Kafka Convertors. Kafka Connect Kafka Connect is a framework to stream data into and out of Apache Kafka®. The Confluent Platform ships with several built-in Continue Reading
