camel-avro-kafka-connector sink configuration

Connector Description: Produce or consume Apache Avro RPC services.

When using camel-avro-kafka-connector as sink make sure to use the following Maven dependency to have support for the connector:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.camel.kafkaconnector</groupId>
  <artifactId>camel-avro-kafka-connector</artifactId>
  <version>x.x.x</version>
  <!-- use the same version as your Camel Kafka connector version -->
</dependency>

To use this sink connector in Kafka connect you’ll need to set the following connector.class

connector.class=org.apache.camel.kafkaconnector.avro.CamelAvroSinkConnector

The camel-avro sink connector supports 20 options, which are listed below.

Name Description Default Priority

camel.sink.path.transport

Required Transport to use, can be either http or netty One of: [http] [netty].

Enum values:

  • http

  • netty

HIGH

camel.sink.path.port

Required Port number to use.

HIGH

camel.sink.path.host

Required Hostname to use.

HIGH

camel.sink.path.messageName

The name of the message to send.

MEDIUM

camel.sink.endpoint.protocol

Avro protocol to use.

MEDIUM

camel.sink.endpoint.protocolClassName

Avro protocol to use defined by the FQN class name.

MEDIUM

camel.sink.endpoint.protocolLocation

Avro protocol location.

MEDIUM

camel.sink.endpoint.reflectionProtocol

If protocol object provided is reflection protocol. Should be used only with protocol parameter because for protocolClassName protocol type will be auto detected.

false

MEDIUM

camel.sink.endpoint.singleParameter

If true, consumer parameter won’t be wrapped into array. Will fail if protocol specifies more then 1 parameter for the message.

false

MEDIUM

camel.sink.endpoint.uriAuthority

Authority to use (username and password).

MEDIUM

camel.sink.endpoint.lazyStartProducer

Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel’s routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing.

false

MEDIUM

camel.component.avro.protocol

Avro protocol to use.

MEDIUM

camel.component.avro.protocolClassName

Avro protocol to use defined by the FQN class name.

MEDIUM

camel.component.avro.protocolLocation

Avro protocol location.

MEDIUM

camel.component.avro.reflectionProtocol

If protocol object provided is reflection protocol. Should be used only with protocol parameter because for protocolClassName protocol type will be auto detected.

false

MEDIUM

camel.component.avro.singleParameter

If true, consumer parameter won’t be wrapped into array. Will fail if protocol specifies more then 1 parameter for the message.

false

MEDIUM

camel.component.avro.uriAuthority

Authority to use (username and password).

MEDIUM

camel.component.avro.lazyStartProducer

Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel’s routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing.

false

MEDIUM

camel.component.avro.autowiredEnabled

Whether autowiring is enabled. This is used for automatic autowiring options (the option must be marked as autowired) by looking up in the registry to find if there is a single instance of matching type, which then gets configured on the component. This can be used for automatic configuring JDBC data sources, JMS connection factories, AWS Clients, etc.

true

MEDIUM

camel.component.avro.configuration

To use a shared AvroConfiguration to configure options once.

MEDIUM
