JDBC Driver

Kafka Connect for MapR Event Store For Apache Kafka provides a JDBC driver jar along with the connector configuration.

The JDBC driver (kafka-connect-jdbc) is set up by specifying the CLASSPATH variable. See Installing MapR Event Store For Apache Kafka Tools.

The packaged connector is installed in the share/java/kafka-connect-jdbc directory, relative to the installation directory.

Alternatively, to add a new driver to the CLASSPATH,

Put the classpath of the connectors in the kafka-connect-jdbc directory:

/opt/mapr/kafka-connect-jdbc/kafka-connect-jdbc-<connector version>/share/java/kafka-connect-jdbc/

Create a symlink into the share/java/kafka-connect-jdbc/ directory.
