Gwen Shapira updated KAFKA-2365:
--------------------------------
Comment: was deleted
(was: I keep waiting for [~ewencp] to create the "log connector" jira so I can
add specific requirements, but its getting late, so I'm adding them here for
reference and will move the comment to the right place tomorrow :)
Top log features missing from Flume (more or less in order of importance):
* Ability to safely tail a log (vs. only ingest completed files)
* rename / move file after done ingesting
* recursively ingest from sub-directories
* handling gzipped files (i.e. unzip and split into records)
* pulling from FTP / http / SFTP
* some intelligence regarding record splitting (support for CSV and JSON is
pretty high on the list)
* conversion to Avro (duh!), bonus if the schema can be magically inferred and
lated editted.)

>
> This covers the development plan for
> [KIP-26|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=58851767].
> There are a number of features that can be developed in sequence to make
> incremental progress, and often in parallel:
> * Initial patch - connector API and core implementation
> * Runtime data API
> * Standalone CLI
> * REST API
> * Distributed copycat - CLI
> * Distributed copycat - coordinator
> * Distributed copycat - config storage
> * Distributed copycat - offset storage
> * Log/file connector (sample source/sink connector)
> * Elasticsearch sink connector (sample sink connector for full log -> Kafka
> -> Elasticsearch sample pipeline)
> * Copycat metrics
> * System tests (including connector tests)
> * Mirrormaker connector
> * Copycat documentation
> This is an initial list, but it might need refinement to allow for more
> incremental progress and may be missing features we find we want before the
> initial release.
