The first developer preview of the integration with Kafka has been announced. This version is based on a new library for DCP and supports the Kafka Connect framework. The integration allows data to be transferred from Couchbase to HDFS using Kafka Connect. To set up this integration, users need to install Confluent Platform, download the Couchbase zip archive with connector integration, and extract its contents to the default class path. Users then need to register the connector by filling in settings similar to a JSON configuration. The Connect daemon will start receiving mutations and storing them into specified Kafka topic. A Sink connection is also set up to get data out of Kafka, which writes data to HDFS with the default topics directory. The integration allows users to transfer documents from Couchbase to HDFS using Kafka Connect.
