Karl Wright commented on CONNECTORS-1162: ----------------------------------------- Consider the issue "assigned". Unfortunately, I cannot *actually* assign the ticket without putting you on the Jira list of ManifoldCF committers. So I'll hold the actual assignment, if that's OK with you. > 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: Karl Wright > 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)
