I am trying to migrate from StreamX (https://github.com/qubole/streamx) to use the official Confluent S3 connector (https://github.com/confluentinc/kafka-connect-storage-cloud). Part of my implementation of Kafka Connect requires a custom partitioner. This partitioner originally extended the Partitioner defined here (https://github.com/confluentinc/kafka-connect-hdfs/blob/master/src/main/java/io/confluent/connect/hdfs/partitioner/Partitioner.java). This was possible because I would build StreamX and add it to my companie’s artifact repository. However, before I fork a bunch of different Confluent projects and then add them to my companies repository, I would like to know if it would be possible to import different Confluent projects such as HDFS connector and S3 connector through Maven so that I can use code from these projects. If this doesn’t exist, why doesn’t Confluent add these artifacts to the Confluent repository? Thanks for your help!
