Description

Source

A Kafka source connector is represented by a single consumer in a Kafka consumer group. By virtue of that, a source's logical position is the respective consumer's offset in Kafka. Internally, though, we're not saving the offset as the position: instead, we're saving the consumer group ID, since that's all which is needed for Kafka to find the offsets for our consumer.

A source is getting associated with a consumer group ID the first time the Read() method is called.

Destination

The destination connector writes records to Kafka.

Output format

The output format can be adjusted using configuration options provided by the connector SDK:

• sdk.record.format: used to choose the format
• sdk.record.format.options: used to configure the specifics of the chosen format

See this article for more info on configuring the output format.

Batching

Batching can also be configured using connector SDK provided options:

• sdk.batch.size: maximum number of records in batch before it gets written to the destination (defaults to 0, no batching)
• sdk.batch.delay: maximum delay before an incomplete batch is written to the destination (defaults to 0, no limit)
