Starting multiple connectors in Kafka Connect withing single distributed worker?












0















How to start multiple Kafka connectors in a Kafka Connect world within a single distributed worker(running on 3 different servers)?



Right now I have a need of 4 Kafka Connectors in this distributed worker(same group.id).



Currently, I am adding one connector at a time using following curl command.



curl -X POST -H "Content-type: application/json" -d '<my_single_connector_config>' 'http://localhost:8083/connectors'


Issue:




  • For each new connector I add, previous/existing connector(s) restarts along with new connector.


Question:




  • How should I start/create all these new connectors with one REST call in a distributed worker mode?

  • Is there any way to have all connector configs in a single REST call, like an array of connector configs?


I tried to search for the same but didn't come across any workaround for this.



Thanks.

          Yes, that's the current behaviour of Kafka Connect. For further discussion see:




          • https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-5505

          • https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Incremental+Cooperative+Rebalancing%3A+Support+and+Policies

          You can't do it in a single REST call





          If you want to isolate your connectors from each other when creating/updating them, you can just run multiple distributed clusters.



          So instead of 1 distributed Connect cluster running 3 connectors, you could have 3 distributed Connect clusters each running 1 connector.



          Remember in practice a 'distributed Cluster' could just be of a single node, and indeed could all run on the same machine. You'd scale out for resilience and throughput capacity.

            If you open a JIRA on Apache Kafka (issues.apache.org/jira/projects/KAFKA/issues), there's a chance we'll improve the REST API and support requests to create multiple connectors at once. Sounds like a good idea and even easy to do. In addition, we are working avoiding all the restarts when you create a new connector.
