Hi kafka, I just wanted to mention I published a very simple project which can connect as MySQL replication client and stream replication events to kafka: https://github.com/pyr/sqlstream
When you don't have control over an application, it can provide a simple way of consolidating SQL data in kafka. This is an early release and there are a few caveats (mentionned in the README), mostly the poor partitioning which I'm going to evolve quickly and the reconnection strategy which doesn't try to keep track of binlog position, other than that, it should work as advertised. Cheers, - pyr
