Tugba Dogan commented on CONNECTORS-1162: ----------------------------------------- Hi Karl, I started to work on the project. I have prepared the development environment on my computer. I have build the system from the source code and runned my own instance. First, I will start testing the system with existing connectors. Then, I will create Kafka connector module. I will implement configuration UI for the Kafka output connector at first. I have forked the repo to my Github account. If you wish, I can commit the parts when I implement it for you to review code ? > 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)
