How can I make a data pipeline, I am sending data from MQTT to KAFKA topic using Source Connector. and on the other side, I have also connected Kafka Broker to MongoDB using Sink Connector. I am having trouble making a data pipeline that goes from MQTT to KAFKA and then MongoDB. Both connectors are working properly individually. How can I integrate them?
here is my MQTT Connector
MQTT Connector
Node 1 MQTT Connector
Message Published from MQTT
Kafka Consumer
Node 2 MongoDB Connector
MongoDB
that is my MongoDB Connector
MongoDB Connector
It is hard to tell what exactly the problem is without more logs, please provide your connect.config as well, please check /status of your connector, I still did not understand exactly what the issue you are facing, you are saying that , MQTT SOURCE CONNECTOR sending messages successfully to KAFKA TOPIC and your MONGO DB SINK CONNECTOR successfully reading this KAFKA TOPIC and write to your mobgodb, hence your pipeline, Where is the error? Is your KAFKA is the same KAFKA? Or separated different KAFKA CLUSTERS? Seems like both localhost, but is it the same machine?
Please elaborate and explain what are you expecting? What does "pipeline" means in your word?
You need both connectors to share same kafka cluster, what does node1 and node2 mean is it seperate kafka instance? Your connector need to connect to the same kafka "node" / cluster in order to share the data inside the kafka topic one for input and one for output, share your bootstrap service parameters, share your server.properties as well of the kafka
In order to run two different connect clusters inside same kafka , you need to set in different internal topics for each connect cluster
config.storage.topic
offset.storage.topic
status.storage.topic

As described in the title, I have a use case where I want to copy data from source Kafka topic (Cloudera Kafka cluster) to destination Kafka topic (AWS MSK Kafka cluster) using Kafka connect framework. I have already gone through some of the available options for e.g. KafkaCat Utility and Mirror Maker 2. But I am curious if there is any such connector available in opensource.
Links followed:
Kafkacat: https://rmoff.net/2019/09/29/copying-data-between-kafka-clusters-with-kafkacat/
MirrorMaker: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-382%3A+MirrorMaker+2.0
MirrorMaker 2 is open source, and it does exactly what you're asking
https://github.com/apache/kafka/tree/trunk/connect/mirror
kcat is also open-source, but doesn't exactly scale, and doesn't use Connect framework.
I am using Confluent MongoDB Atlas Source Connector to pull data from MongoDB collection to Kafka. I have noticed that the connector is creating multiple topics in the Kafka Cluster. I need the data to be available on one topic so that the consumer application can consume the data from the topic. How can I do this?
Besides, why the Kafka connector is creating so many topics? isn't is difficult for consumer applications to retrieve the data with that approach?
Kafka Connect creates 3 internal topics for the whole cluster for managing its own workload. You should never need/want external consumers to use these
In addition to that, connectors can create their own topics. Debezium for example creates a "database history topic", and again, this shouldn't be read outside of the Connect framework.
Most connectors only need to create one for the source to pull data into, which is what consumers actually should care about
I install confluent and it has own kafka.
I want to change kafka from own to another?
Which .properties or whatelse file I must change to look different kafka.
thanks in advance
In your Kafka Connect worker configuration, you need to set bootstrap.servers to point to the broker(s) on your source Kafka cluster.
You can only connect to one source Kafka cluster per Kafka Connect worker. If you need to stream data from multiple Kafka clusters, you would run multiple Kafka Connect workers.
Edit If you're using Confluent CLI then the Kafka Connect worker config is taken from etc/schema-registry/connect-avro-distributed.properties.
We are currently on HDF (Hortonworks Dataflow) 3.3.1 which bundles Kafka 2.0.0 and are trying to use Kafka Connect in distributed mode to launch a Google Cloud PubSub Sink connector.
We are planning on sending back some metadata into a Kafka Topic and need to integrate a Kafka producer into the flush() function of the Sink task java code.
Would this have a negative impact on the process where Kafka Connect commits back the offsets to Kafka (as we would be adding a overhead of running a Kafka producer before the flush).
Also, how does Kafka Connect get the Bootstrap servers list from the configuration when it is not specified in the Connector Properties for either the sink or the source? I need to use the same Bootstrap server list to start the producer.
Currently I am changing the config for the sink connector, adding bootstrap server list as a property and parsing it in the Java code for the connector. I would like to use bootstrap server list from the Kafka Connect worker properties if that is possible.
Kindly help on this.
Thanks in advance.

There is no producer instance exposed in the SinkTask API...

I mean, you can add whatever code you want. As far as negative impacts go, that's up to you to benchmark on your own infrastructure. Obviously adding more blocking code makes the other processes slower overall

Sinks and sources are not workers. Look at connect-distributed.properties

It's not possible. Adding extra properties to the sink/source configs are the only way. (Feel free to make a Kafka JIRA requesting such a feature of exposing the worker configs, though)
I have developed kafka-sink-connector (using confluent-oss-3.2.0-2.11, connect framework) for my data-store (Amppol ADS), which stores data from kafka topics to corresponding tables in my store.
Every thing is working as expected as long as kafka servers and ADS servers are up and running.
Need a help/suggestions about a specific use-case where events are getting ingested in kafka topics and underneath sink component (ADS) is down.
Expectation here is Whenever a sink servers comes up, records that were ingested earlier in kafka topics should be inserted into the tables;
Kindly advise how to handle such a case.
Is there any support available in connect framework for this..? or atleast some references will be a great help.
SinkConnector offsets are maintained in the _consumer_offsets topic on Kafka against your connector name and when SinkConnector restarts it will pick messages from Kafka server from the previous offset it had stored on the _consumer_offsets topic.
So you don't have to worry anything about managing offsets. Its all done by the workers in the Connect framework. In your scenario you go and just restart your sink connector. If the messages are pushed to Kafka by your source connector and are available in the Kafka, sink connector can be started/restarted at any time.
