Hi Ulf, I’ve had similar problem, before but from a sink perspective: I had to create a HTTP sink for a Kafka REST API. I’ve used scalaj-http https://github.com/scalaj/scalaj-http which is a wrapper for the corresponding Java lib.
For example, https://github.com/scalaj/scalaj-http For example class HttpSink extends SinkFunction[Message]{ private val secretkey = new GetToken().token def sendMessage(message: Message):String = Http("http://XXX.XXX.XX.XXX:5000/api/message") // <-- GLOBAL var .header("Content-Type","application/json") .header("Authorization", s"Bearer $secretkey") .postData(message.data).asString.body @throws[Exception] override def invoke(message: Message): Unit = { log.info(sendMessage(message)) } } I image for a http source, you could send a request to the REST API periodically and convert the micro-batches into a stream. I’d love to know about other alternatives.

Does anybody here has done this before and can point me to an working library? I've attached a small demo project in case someone wants to try to solve this.
