Introducing the DataStax Apache Kafka® Connector

DataStax has made the Apache Kafka® Connector freely available for Open Source Cassandra users. The DataStax Apache Kafka Connector, built by the team that authors the DataStax Drivers for Apache Cassandra®, seamlessly moves data from Apache Kafka to DataStax Enterprise (DSE) in event-driven architectures. It offers market-leading performance, flexibility, security, and visibility. The connector is fully supported by DataStax and provides expert services. Key features include consuming Kafka primitive, JSON, and Avro data formats; working with various connectors; providing JMX metrics; running within Connect Worker; offering at least once guarantee for records; supporting standalone mode and distributed mode/HA support; enabling flexible Kafka topic to DSE table mapping; allowing a single Kafka topic to be written to multiple DSE tables; having built-in throttling and parallelism; accounting for varying date/time formats; configuring consistency levels, row-level TTLs, deletes, null handling, error handling, offset management, SSL connections, LDAP/Active Directory, Kerberos, write timeouts, and compression strategies.
