Re: Connector for REST End Point

[Chesnay Schepler]

Hello,

In general it should be possible for you to write a source that directly 
works with your REST API.

The SourceFunction interface is simple enough that you can do pretty 
much anything, which makes
me curious as to what makes you wonder whether it is possible. Have you 
tried implementing your
own source function but hit a wall somewhere?

Bear in mind though, if it has to work with checkpointing than you're 
probably better off using another
kafka instance though.

Regards,
Chesnay

    Hi Chesnay

    I have a REST Api that listens to events that come through Kafka
    but i dont have access to that Kafka . Can I write a connector
    that consumes events through the REST end point and not directly
    through Kafka.

    I have a solution that i can dump the events coming to the api
    into another Kafka instance and consume through that but it will
    add another hop to the flow.

    Is There a better way to do this by writing a custom connector or
    something like that .

    Thanks
