Thank you for your time spent on our question. This quick start document, https://gobblin.readthedocs.io/en/latest/case-studies/Kafka-HDFS-Ingestion/, shows “source.class=org.apache.gobblin.source.extractor.extract.kafka.KafkaSimpleSource”. That class overrides method, getExtractor, to return “new KafkaSimpleExtractor(state)”, and class, KafkaSimpleExtractor, overrides method, decodeRecord, to return just the Kafka message value.
return kafkaConsumerRecord.getMessageBytes() Since we want both key and value stored in HDFS, class, KafkaSimpleJsonExtractor, appears to provide the desired decodeRecord method: protected byte[] decodeRecord(ByteArrayBasedKafkaRecord messageAndOffset) throws IOException { long offset = messageAndOffset.getOffset(); byte[] keyBytes = messageAndOffset.getKeyBytes(); String key = (keyBytes == null) ? "" : new String(keyBytes, CHARSET); byte[] payloadBytes = messageAndOffset.getMessageBytes(); String payload = (payloadBytes == null) ? "" : new String(payloadBytes, CHARSET); KafkaRecord record = new KafkaRecord(offset, key, payload); byte[] decodedRecord = gson.toJson(record).getBytes(CHARSET); return decodedRecord; } The architecture diagram leads us to think that the exactor is the point where both Kafka key and value are visible in the Gobblin pipeline: https://gobblin.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Gobblin-Architecture/#gobblin-constructs We are eager to learn from you.

The Extractor is used in pulling the data which is thereafter passed through various stages before it is stored via the Writer. What I mean by the other subscriber was to add one more consumer which will read the key/value e.g kafka-console-consumer.sh which comes with the kafka. I was not earlier aware that you wanted to store the data in HFDS as you had given the reference of the Extractor so it was not clear to me. Please take a look at the Kafka to HDFS writer and see if that helps, in case it is not doing what is exactly required by you then you may have to plugin the customized writer.

Keys contain numeric ids for the strings contained in values. Please explain “other subscriber”. Are you proposing a different Kafka message structure? KafkaSimpleJsonExtractor.java caught my attention because it extracts both keys and values and puts them in decodedRecord.

Do you want to see the keys/values rendered in the logs while the extraction is being done? Why can't you have the other subscriber to the kafka which will render the values rather than KafkaExtractor implementation rendering the same?

How does one configure a job to achieve it?
