Hi Sorry for the simple question. I’m just starting to learn about Kafka streams and connect and I’m struggling to understand the exact difference and which one to use. I’m coming from Apache Storm so forgive me if I make false assumptions.
I have a use case where I have a Kafka topic with some messages. What I need to do: 1. Read the messages 2. Split and map the message into a number of rows 3. Write the rows to Cassandra It seems the first 2 steps are a natural fit for Kafka Streams. But it seems the way to write to Cassandra is to use Kafka Connect. Is that correctly understood? Is there any way to connect Kafka Streams and Kafka Connect without writing it to a new kafka topic? Since the transformation in step 2 is so simple it seems a waste to write it to disk. Is there any other way I should consider? Best regards, Mads
