Kafka Connect provides a flexible way to process streaming data using Single Message Transforms (SMTs). If you need to filter out tombstone records (records with null values), you should use the generic Filter transformation along with the RecordIsTombstone predicate. Here’s the correct configuration: # Define the predicate to detect tombstone records (i.e., records with null values) predicates=dropTombstone predicates.dropTombstone.type=org.apache.kafka.connect.transforms.predicates.RecordIsTombstone # Configure the Filter transformation to drop records that match the predicate transforms=dropTombstone transforms....

In this technical deep-dive, we unravel the power of Server-Sent Events (SSE), a game-changing web technology that simplifies real-time communication. Developers often struggle with complex, resource-intensive methods for creating live updates, but SSE offers an elegant solution that’s both lightweight and powerful.

In this tutorial, we’ll walk through the process of setting up a Kafka connector using Docker and docker-compose.yml. We’ll focus on configuring a file connector, which is useful for reading data from files and writing data to files using Kafka. Link to repository Prerequisites Docker and Docker Compose installed on your system Basic understanding of Kafka and Docker concepts Project Structure Before we begin, let’s look at the files we’ll be working with:...

Introduction In this post, we will walk through the process of setting up an Apache Kafka cluster without using Zookeeper, leveraging Kafka’s KRaft mode for metadata management. Kafka no longer requires a Zookeeper instance, simplifying the cluster setup. We will use Docker to deploy this Kafka cluster with the latest version of Kafka. Prerequisites Ensure that you have the following: Docker installed Docker compose installed Basic understanding of Kafka concepts (e....
