--------------------------------------------
Summary: Add support for batch/scheduled Copycat connectors
Key: KAFKA-2483
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2483
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Sub-task
Components: copycat
Reporter: Ewen Cheslack-Postava
Assignee: Ewen Cheslack-Postava
A few connectors may not perform well if run continuously; for example, HDFS
may not handle a task holding a file open for very long periods of time well.
These connectors will work better if they can schedule themselves to be
executed periodically. Note that this cannot currently be implemented by the
connector itself because in sink connectors get data delivered to them as it
streams in. However, it might be possible to make connectors handle this
themselves given the combination of KAFKA-2481 and KAFKA-2482 would make it
possible, if inconvenient, to implement this in the task itself.
