Features

• kafka (Sink)
  

  A Kafka sink publishes events processed by WSO2 SP to a topic with a partition for a Kafka cluster. The events can be published in the TEXT XML JSON or Binary format.
  If the topic is not already created in the Kafka cluster, the Kafka sink creates the default partition for the given topic. The publishing topic and partition can be a dynamic value taken from the Siddhi event.
  To configure a sink to use the Kafka transport, the type parameter should have kafka as its value.

• kafkaMultiDC (Sink)
  

  A Kafka sink publishes events processed by WSO2 SP to a topic with a partition for a Kafka cluster. The events can be published in the TEXT XML JSON or Binary format.
  If the topic is not already created in the Kafka cluster, the Kafka sink creates the default partition for the given topic. The publishing topic and partition can be a dynamic value taken from the Siddhi event.
  To configure a sink to publish events via the Kafka transport, and using two Kafka brokers to publish events to the same topic, the type parameter must have kafkaMultiDC as its value.

• kafka (Source)
  

  A Kafka source receives events to be processed by WSO2 SP from a topic with a partition for a Kafka cluster. The events received can be in the TEXT XML JSON or Binary format.
  If the topic is not already created in the Kafka cluster, the Kafka sink creates the default partition for the given topic.

• kafkaMultiDC (Source)
  

  The Kafka Multi-Datacenter(DC) source receives records from the same topic in brokers deployed in two different kafka clusters. It filters out all the duplicate messages and ensuresthat the events are received in the correct order using sequential numbering. It receives events in formats such as TEXT, XML JSON and Binary`.The Kafka Source creates the default partition '0' for a given topic, if the topic has not yet been created in the Kafka cluster.
