Chapter 6. Kafka breaking changes

This section describes any changes to Kafka that required a corresponding change to Streams for Apache Kafka to continue to work.

6.1. Using Kafka’s example file connectors
Copy link

Kafka no longer includes the example file connectors FileStreamSourceConnector and FileStreamSinkConnector in its CLASSPATH and plugin.path by default. Streams for Apache Kafka has been updated so that you can still use these example connectors. The examples now have to be added to the plugin path like any connector.

Streams for Apache Kafka provides an example connector configuration file with the configuration required to deploy the file connectors as KafkaConnector resources:

  • examples/connect/source-connector.yaml

See Deploying example KafkaConnector resources and Extending Kafka Connect with connector plugins.
