Kafka plugin for KairosDB

kairos-kafka

Kafka plugin for KairosDB

Currently built against a staging repo for the upcoming KairosDB 0.9.4

Using the Kafka Plugin

Because kafka events are just binary blobs this plugin cannot handle all use cases. You will need to write your own topic parser but, never fear I think I've made the process pretty simple.

Do the following:

1. Fork the plugin repo
2. Implement your own TopicParser class.
3. Bind your class in KafkaModule.java
4. Declare your parser in kairos-kafka.properties.

I've implemented a StringTopicParser that assumes each kafka event is a UTF8 string. Use StringTopicParser as an example of how to implement your own topic parser.
