How to start worker connector for mongodb in Kafka?

Question

I use this guide to setup mongodb connector.

The guide does not explain how to do the following, how to run connector.

Start the Connect workers with that configuration. Connect will discover all connectors defined within those plugins.

All files of mongodb connector are placed in path:

/home/user/Desktop/kafka-2.7.0-src/plugins/mongodbconnector

Could you help?

Answer 1

First, you've downloaded Kafka source code, not the binaries.

You could refer the Kafka Connect User Guide

The connect-* scripts and property files are used to run Kafka Connect.

You'll need to add your plugins directory into the corresponding properties file plugin.path value
