The framework can be used to build connectors,
that transfer data to
and from
Apache Kafka and Databases,
very easily. If you are looking for already implemented connectors
for you favorite datastore, take a look at the Available Connector Implementations
below.
- node-kafka-connect is a framework to implement large
kafka -> datastore
&datastore -> kafka
data movements. - it can be used to easily built connectors from/to kafka to any kind of datastore/database.
- a connector might consist of a SourceConnector + SourceTask to poll data from a datastore into a kafka topic.
- a connector might consist of a SinkConnector + SinkTask to put data from a kafka topic into a datastore.
- Converters might be used to apply alteration to any data-stream.
- any operation in node-kafka-connect is asynchronous
- ships with auto http server (health-checks, kafka-stats)
- ships with auto metrics (prometheus)
npm install --save kafka-connect
const source = new TestSourceConfig(config,
TestSourceConnector,
TestSourceTask,
[TestConverter]);
source.run().then();
const sink = new TestSinkConfig(config,
TestSinkConnector,
TestSinkTask,
[TestConverter]);
sink.run().then();
- Q: it is running slow / only synchronous / 1 by 1 messages ?
- A: just set the config.batch object as it is described here
