Hi Sylvain,
We are using this plugin to post messages to Kafka Topic. We would like to also send headers with the message. How can we do that using this plugin. We are using SASL Mechanism as 'PLAIN'.
Thanks in Advance.
Hi Sylvain Furt
Request you to please let us know - if this enhancement will be taken in upcoming version
Bharat - it seems that the code is pretty straightforward to update.
My only observation would be to change the header parameter from required to optional.
I would recommend for you to make the updates and submit a new version of the plug-in to community. As you may know, plug-ins are not owned by any individual. They are community supported so feel free to update as needed.
In continue Ketan's thread, I have check plug-in version 'kafka-tools-1.0.4. and we still not have option to pass the 'Header' as parameter with 'Topic' details.
Below changes requires in plug-in code in order to fulfill our requirement
Request to add in plug-in and share the latest version
1) PublishKafkaSmartService.java
private String _header;
@Order({ // inputs "SecureCredentialsStoreKey", "Servers", "Topic", "Header", "Payload", "SecurityProtocol", "SASLMechanism", "Truststore", "Keystore",
// outputs "Success", "ErrorMessage" })
kafkaProducer.publish(_topic, _payload, _header);
@Input(required = Required.ALWAYS) public void setHeader(String val) { this._header = val; }
2) AppianKafkaProducer.java
// _producer.send(new ProducerRecord<>(payload, header), ProducerRecord<String, String> record = new ProducerRecord<>(topic, payload, header);
Thanks,
Bharat
Ketan - thank you for question. At this point, we do not have plans to enhance this plugin. However, I am happy to create an item in our backlog to do so in the future.
Would you be able to provide more information about your use case?
