Karl Wright commented on CONNECTORS-1162: ----------------------------------------- Hi Tugba, I don't know what is available for Kafka, but I would certainly find a book or something describing what kinds of APIs are available. As far as ManifoldCF is concerned, there is a book that you will want to at least skim -- it's available online at: https://github.com/DaddyWri/manifoldcfinaction/tree/master/pdfs > Apache Kafka Output Connector > ----------------------------- > > Key: CONNECTORS-1162 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONNECTORS-1162 > Project: ManifoldCF > Issue Type: Wish > Affects Versions: ManifoldCF 1.8.1, ManifoldCF 2.0.1 > Reporter: Rafa Haro > Assignee: Rafa Haro > Labels: gsoc, gsoc2015 > Fix For: ManifoldCF 1.10, ManifoldCF 2.2 > > > Kafka is a distributed, partitioned, replicated commit log service. It > provides the functionality of a messaging system, but with a unique design. A > single Kafka broker can handle hundreds of megabytes of reads and writes per > second from thousands of clients. > Apache Kafka is being used for a number of uses cases. One of them is to use > Kafka as a feeding system for streaming BigData processes, both in Apache > Spark or Hadoop environment. A Kafka output connector could be used for > streaming or dispatching crawled documents or metadata and put them in a > BigData processing pipeline -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
