Kafka Connect: fork process from a SinkTask ?

2016-05-11 Thread Dean Arnold
I need to run an external filter program from a SinkTask. Is there anything that might break if I fork/exec in the start() method, and forward the data thru pipes ? TIA, Dean

I can't think of anything that would break except that your connector may not be able to run in some environments if certain syscalls are restricted. -Ewen On Wed, May 11, 2016 at 6:05 PM, Dean Arnold wrote: > I need to run an external filter program from a SinkTask. Is there anything > that mi
