Sink Connector: The MarkLogic Kafka Connector

Reading Time: 2 minutes The MarkLogic Kafka connector is a sink connector for receiving messages from Kafka and writing them to a MarkLogic database. The sink pulls messages from the Kafka topics to store in MarkLogic as JSON documents. This acquires messages using Kafka from numerous brokers and then writes to marklogic with no coding required. The connector uses the MarkLogic Data Movement SDK (DMSDK) to store those messages in a Continue Reading

Kafka Connect Concepts

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

Kafka Connect example: Mysql to Elastic Search

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

Deep dive into Kafka Connect

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

How to use Kafka Connect to stream data

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

Kafka Connect Fundamentals

Reading Time: 3 minutes Kafka connect is an framework to connect kafka with external ecosystem like file systems, databases using kafka connector. The Kafka Connect cluster supports running and scaling out connectors. Kafka Connectors are ready-to-use components, which can help us to import data from external systems into Kafka topics and export data from Kafka topics into external systems.  What is Kafka Connect? Kafka connect is use to perform stream integration Continue Reading

Streaming Data Pipelines using Kafka connect

Reading Time: 3 minutes Are the messages produced by using one part of a utility to apache Kafka and eaten up with the aid of some other part of that equal utility, different applications aren’t interested in those messages? Allow’s imagine that the distributing statistics units which are computed these rubdowns may also need those messages into an outside gadget or push it from an external carrier. So having Continue Reading

Getting started with Kafka Connect / Connectors

Reading Time: 3 minutes Overview: In this blog, we will be going to deep dive in with Kafka Connect and know about some basic fundamentals of it. Apache Kafka is one of the central technologies in Undertaking Models these days. More than 60% of Fortune 500 companies are utilizing Kafka. The innovation has advanced apart over the final decade i.e. from Pub/Sub to a Total Occasion Streaming Stage. Therefore, The exceptionally begins necessity to work in an occasion-driven framework is to ingest data/events. For the same reason, Kafka Interface was involved in the Kafka Biological system in 2015. This empowers us to coordinate outside frameworks without composing a Continue Reading
