Kafka Connect 4.0.0

Kafka Connect is a utility for streaming data between MapR-ES and other storage systems.

Examples of other systems include:

• Relational databases
• Logs and metrics
• Hadoop and data warehouses
• NoSQL data stores

Kafka Connect makes it easy to integrate all your data via Kafka, making it available as realtime streams. For example, you can use Kafka Connect to:

• Stream changes from a relational database to make events available with low latency for stream processing applications.
• Import realtime logs and metrics into MapR-ES and process them to detect anomalies.
• Implement a process of loading data into MapR-ES from your primary data storage systems, performing filtering, transformations, and enrichment with a MapR Stream processing framework, and publish the data to MapR file system.
