GitHub user eleonora011 created a discussion: Using Apache Hop integrated with 
Kafka

I’d like to briefly explain the workflow I developed in Apache Hop and the 
issues I’m encountering.

The flow works as follows:
It starts with a Kafka Consumer that reads messages from a specific topic. This 
task triggers a specific pipeline, which begins with an Injector. Then, to 
properly format each row, I use a JSON Input step and several Select Values 
steps.

My goal is to enrich the message coming from Kafka with data from the database. 
So, after a Table Input, I perform a Merge (between the data coming from Kafka 
and the data coming from the database), and finally, I output the result to a 
text file.

The problem I’ve encountered is that the flow stops at the Merge step.
The behavior is quite strange:
if I pass a finite number of rows to the pipeline, it completes successfully;
however, if I use a Generate Rows step (with rows generated at regular time 
intervals) or a Kafka Consumer (both of which can be considered “infinite” 
sources ) the flow freezes.

I’d like to know whether this issue has already been experienced by others, and 
if so, how it can be resolved or worked around.

Thank you
