Ewen Cheslack-Postava commented on KAFKA-2375:
----------------------------------------------
[~speaktoraghav] I think you need to be added as a contributor before you can
be assigned tasks. You can ask on the dev mailing list for one of the
committers to add you.
By the way, we added this as an example that we could include directly with the
project since it doesn't necessarily require additional dependencies -- using
HttpURLConnection, you could possibly implement this just with builtin Java
APIs -- and could be a good example of a realistic API. However, note that more
generally we're going to go with a federated approach to connector development,
so not many connectors would be implemented directly in Kafka itself. This was
a topic of discussion during the initial KIP discussion that we never came to a
specific conclusion on (since we could defer specific decisions until we had
actual connectors to implement). It might be worth revisiting whether this
makes more sense to include directly in Kafka or if it would make more sense as
a standalone connector in its own repository.
> Implement elasticsearch Copycat sink connector

> Key: KAFKA-2375
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2375
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: copycat
> Reporter: Ewen Cheslack-Postava
>
> Implement an elasticsearch sink connector for Copycat. This should send
> records to elasticsearch with unique document IDs, given appropriate configs
> to extract IDs from input records.
> The motivation here is to provide a good end-to-end example with built-in
> connectors that require minimal dependencies. Because Elasticsearch has a
> very simple REST API, an elasticsearch connector shouldn't require any extra
> dependencies and logs -> Elasticsearch (in combination with KAFKA-2374)
> provides a compelling out-of-the-box Copycat use case.
