How to configure properties for confluence kafka connect setup

Configuring properties for a Confluent Kafka Connect setup involves several steps.
Below is a guide to help you configure the essential properties:

1. Kafka Connect Worker Configuration

You need to configure the worker properties file (e.g., connect-


distributed.properties or connect-standalone.properties depending on your
setup).

Key properties:

 Bootstrap Servers:

properties
Copy code
bootstrap.servers=localhost:9092

This specifies the Kafka brokers to connect to.

 Key and Value Converters:

properties
Copy code
key.converter=org.apache.kafka.connect.json.JsonConverter
value.converter=org.apache.kafka.connect.json.JsonConverter

Converters serialize and deserialize the data.

 Internal Topics:

properties
Copy code
offset.storage.topic=connect-offsets
config.storage.topic=connect-configs
status.storage.topic=connect-statuses

These topics store offsets, configurations, and statuses for connectors.

 Number of Partitions:

properties
Copy code
offset.storage.partitions=25
config.storage.partitions=1
status.storage.partitions=5

Specify the number of partitions for internal topics.

 Replication Factor:

properties
Copy code
offset.storage.replication.factor=3
config.storage.replication.factor=3
status.storage.replication.factor=3

This defines the replication factor for internal topics to ensure high availability.

 Rest Port:

properties
Copy code
rest.port=8083

This is the port on which the REST interface will be available.

2. Connector Configuration

Each connector you deploy will have its own configuration file.

Example for a FileStream Source Connector:

properties
Copy code
name=local-file-source
connector.class=org.apache.kafka.connect.file.FileStreamSourceConnector
tasks.max=1
file=/path/to/input/file.txt
topic=connect-test
 name: The unique name for the connector instance.
 connector.class: The class name of the connector.
 tasks.max: The maximum number of tasks to run for this connector.
 file: The file path to read from.
 topic: The Kafka topic to publish data to.

3. Running Kafka Connect

 Standalone Mode (for testing/development):

bash
Copy code
./bin/connect-standalone.sh config/connect-standalone.properties
config/connector-file-source.properties
 Distributed Mode (for production):

bash
Copy code
./bin/connect-distributed.sh config/connect-distributed.properties

4. Security Configuration (Optional)

If your Kafka setup is secured, you need to configure security-related properties:

 SSL Configuration:

properties
Copy code
ssl.truststore.location=/path/to/truststore.jks
ssl.truststore.password=truststore-password
ssl.keystore.location=/path/to/keystore.jks
ssl.keystore.password=keystore-password
ssl.key.password=key-password
security.protocol=SSL

 SASL Configuration:

properties
Copy code
security.protocol=SASL_SSL
sasl.mechanism=PLAIN
sasl.jaas.config=org.apache.kafka.common.security.plain.PlainLogin
Module required username="user" password="password";

5. Monitoring and Logging

Configure logging for Kafka Connect by modifying log4j.properties:

properties
Copy code
log4j.rootLogger=INFO, stdout
log4j.logger.org.apache.kafka.connect=DEBUG

6. Deploying Custom Connectors

If you're deploying custom connectors, place the connector JAR files in the plugin.path
directory specified in connect-distributed.properties.

properties
Copy code
plugin.path=/path/to/plugins

7. Connector Management
Use the REST API to manage connectors:

 Create a connector:

bash
Copy code
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"name":
"my-connector", "config": { ... }}'
http://localhost:8083/connectors

 List connectors:

bash
Copy code
curl http://localhost:8083/connectors

 Get connector status:

bash
Copy code
curl http://localhost:8083/connectors/my-connector/status

By following these steps, you can set up and configure Kafka Connect in a Confluent
Kafka environment.
