kafka connect: config file not found - apache-kafka

I am new to kafka and learning to use kafka connect to read from a text (.txt) file.
I created the source-config file and worker config files and saved them as .properties files under resources. I am getting a NoSuchFileException for both the config files when i run the following from terminal:
/bin/connect-standalone.sh my-standalone.properties my-file-source.properties
#my-file-source.properties config file
name=local-file-source
connector.class=FileStreamSource
tasks.max=1
file=/tmp/my-test.txt
topic=my-connect-test
# my-standalone.properties worker config file
#bootstrap kafka servers
bootstrap.servers=localhost:9092
# specify input data format
key.converter=org.apache.kafka.connect.storage.StringConverter
value.converter=org.apache.kafka.connect.storage.StringConverter
# The internal converter used for offsets, most will always want to use the built-in default
internal.key.converter=org.apache.kafka.connect.json.JsonConverter
internal.value.converter=org.apache.kafka.connect.json.JsonConverter
internal.key.converter.schemas.enable=false
internal.value.converter.schemas.enable=false
# local file storing offsets and config data
offset.storage.file.filename=/tmp/connect.offsets
Is adding config files to resources the right way? Where am I going wrong?

Kafka is running on local, I have a producer and consumer up, can see the data flowing.
This is the same question I answered over on the Confluent community Slack, but I'll post it here for reference too :-)
The connect worker log shows that the connector JAR itself is being loaded, so the 'contains no connector type` is because your config formatting is fubar.
You're running in Standalone mode, but passing in a JSON file which won't. My personal opinion is always use distributed, even if just a single node of it. Check this out if you need a recap on standalone vs distributed : http://rmoff.dev/ksldn19-kafka-connect
If you must use standalone then you need your connector config (snowflake_kafka_config.json) to be a properties file like this:
param1=argument1
param2=argument2
You can see valid JSON examples (if you use distributed mode) here: https://github.com/confluentinc/demo-scene/blob/master/kafka-connect-zero-to-hero/demo_zero-to-hero-with-kafka-connect.adoc#stream-data-from-kafka-to-elasticsearch

Kafka connect (sink file not updated)

I have updated below properties file according to my requirement
connect-standalone.properties
connect-file-source.properties
connect-file-sink.properties
The Kafka Connect process start and the source connector read lines and write these as messages to the test_topic but messages are not written in test.sink.txt
bin/connect-standalone.sh config/connect-standalone.properties config/connect-file-source.properties config/connect-file-sink.properties

kafka connect - How to filter schema metadata from payload

I'm trying to remove schema from the payload and here are the configurations
connector.properties
name=test-source-mysql-jdbc-autoincrement
connector.class=io.confluent.connect.jdbc.JdbcSourceConnector
value.converter=org.apache.kafka.connect.json.JsonConverter
tasks.max=1
connection.url=jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/employee_db?user=root&password=root
table.whitelist=testemp
mode=incrementing
incrementing.column.name=employee_id
topic.prefix=test-mysql-jdbc-
and below are my worker.properties
bootstrap.servers=localhost:9092
key.converter=org.apache.kafka.connect.json.JsonConverter
value.converter=org.apache.kafka.connect.json.JsonConverter
key.converter.schemas.enable=false
value.converter.schemas.enable=false
internal.key.converter=org.apache.kafka.connect.json.JsonConverter
internal.value.converter=org.apache.kafka.connect.json.JsonConverter
internal.key.converter.schemas.enable=false
internal.value.converter.schemas.enable=false
offset.storage.file.filename=/tmp/connect.offsets
offset.flush.interval.ms=10000
plugin.path=C:\Users\name\Desktop\kafka\libs
output:
{"schema":{"type":"struct","fields":[{"type":"int32","optional":false,"field":"employee_id"},{"type":"string","optional":false,"field":"first_name"}],"optional":false,"name":"testemp"},"payload":{"employee_id":2,"first_name":"test"}}
excepted output:
{"payload":{"employee_id":2,"first_name":"test"}}
I tried disabling value.converter.schemas.enable= false in worker as suggested in here still no effect
Am i missing something?
There are two option to fix it:
Remove value.converter property from your connector configuration (You use same value.converter)
Set value.converter.schemas.enable=false in your connector configuration.
Schema is added to message, because you have overwritten value converter and didn't disable schema (by default for JsonConverter schema is enabled). From Kafka Connect point of view you used completely new Converter (it will not use properties from global configuration)
If you will disable schema your message will be as follow:
{
"employee_id": 2,
"first_name":"test"
}

Connector config contains no connector type

I'm trying to use JDBC Connector to connect to a PostgreSQL database on my cluster (the database is not directly managed by the cluster).
I've been calling the Kafka Connect with the following command:
connect-standalone.sh worker.properties jdbc-connector.properties
This is the content of the worker.propertiesfile:
class=io.confluent.connect.jdbc.JdbcSourceConnector
name=test-postgres-1
tasks.max=1
internal.key.converter=org.apache.kafka.connect.json.JsonConverter
internal.value.converter=org.apache.kafka.connect.json.JsonConverter
internal.key.converter.schemas.enable=false
internal.value.converter.schemas.enable=false
offset.storage.file.filename=/home/user/offest
value.converter=org.apache.kafka.connect.json.JsonConverter
key.converter=org.apache.kafka.connect.json.JsonConverter
connection.url=jdbc:postgresql://database-server.url:port/database?user=user&password=password
And this are the content of the jdbc-connector.properties:
mode=incrementing
incrementing.column.name=id
topic.prefix=test-postgres-jdbc-
When I try to launch the connector with the above command it crashes with the following error:
[2018-04-16 11:39:08,164] ERROR Failed to create job for jdbc.properties (org.apache.kafka.connect.cli.ConnectStandalone:88)

at org.apache.kafka.connect.cli.ConnectStandalone.main(ConnectStandalone.java:93)
After noting that the connector causing the error displayed only informations from jdbc-connector.properties I've tried merging the two files together, but then the command terminates abruptly (without creating a topic or an offset file) with the following output:
[SLF4J infos...]
[2018-04-16 11:48:54,620] INFO Usage: ConnectStandalone worker.properties connector1.properties [connector2.properties ...] (org.apache.kafka.connect.cli.ConnectStandalone:59)
You need to have most of those properties in the jdbc-connector.properties, not the worker.properties. See https://docs.confluent.io/current/connect/connect-jdbc/docs/source_config_options.html for a full list of config options that go in the connector configuration (jdbc-connector.properties in your example).
Try this:
worker.properties:
internal.key.converter=org.apache.kafka.connect.json.JsonConverter
internal.value.converter=org.apache.kafka.connect.json.JsonConverter
internal.key.converter.schemas.enable=false
internal.value.converter.schemas.enable=false
offset.storage.file.filename=/home/user/offest
value.converter=org.apache.kafka.connect.json.JsonConverter
key.converter=org.apache.kafka.connect.json.JsonConverter
jdbc-connector.properties:
class=io.confluent.connect.jdbc.JdbcSourceConnector
name=test-postgres-1
tasks.max=1
mode=incrementing
incrementing.column.name=id
topic.prefix=test-postgres-jdbc-
connection.url=jdbc:postgresql://database-server.url:port/database?user=user&password=password

Kafka Connect Number type fields

When i would like to use Kafka connect with source RDBMS which is Oracle , Number type fields are seen as bytes like below,
Column "ID" with value "4" as number has been sent ,but at consumer console this value has been seen as "ID":"BA=="
What can i do in order to solve this issue ?
Kafka connect is started with below command
connect-standalone ./etc/kafka/connect-standalone.properties /home/kafka/oracle.properties.test
######## connect-standalone.properties
# These are defaults. This file just demonstrates how to override some settings.
bootstrap.servers=kafkaserver01.localdomain:9092
# The converters specify the format of data in Kafka and how to translate it into Connect data. Every Connect user will
# need to configure these based on the format they want their data in when loaded from or stored into Kafka
key.converter=org.apache.kafka.connect.json.JsonConverter
value.converter=org.apache.kafka.connect.json.JsonConverter
# Converter-specific settings can be passed in by prefixing the Converter's setting with the converter we want to apply
# it to
key.converter.schemas.enable=true
value.converter.schemas.enable=true
# The internal converter used for offsets and config data is configurable and must be specified, but most users will
# always want to use the built-in default. Offset and config data is never visible outside of Kafka Connect in this format.
internal.key.converter=org.apache.kafka.connect.json.JsonConverter
internal.value.converter=org.apache.kafka.connect.json.JsonConverter
internal.key.converter.schemas.enable=false
internal.value.converter.schemas.enable=false
offset.storage.file.filename=/tmp/connect.offsets
# Flush much faster than normal, which is useful for testing/debugging
offset.flush.interval.ms=10000
######## /home/kafka/oracle.properties.test Configuration File
name=oracle-connect-test1
connector.class=io.confluent.connect.jdbc.JdbcSourceConnector
tasks.max=1
topic.prefix=
connection.url=jdbc:oracle:thin:test/oracle#testsrv01:1521:testdb
table.whitelist=TEST1,TEST2
mode=timestamp
timestamp.column.name=CDC_TIMESTAMP
## Console Consumer
kafka-console-consumer --bootstrap-server kafkaserver01.localdomain:9092 --topic TEST1
Thanks.
I found the solution please add below configuration in your connector source properties
numeric.precision.mapping = true
it will disable encoding numeric value at topic
with new version of kafka-connect-jdbc-4.1.1
you can use property
numeric.mapping=best_fit
for best result
