Welcome to Kafka Producer

Introduction

The kafkaproducer plugin is a northbound plugin which allows real-time data streaming from OpenDaylight into a Kafka endpoints. The key design goal for this plugin is to provide a generic and configurable data connector that subscribes to southbound event source(s), for example using OpenDaylight’s Event Topic Broker (ETB), which then forwards these notifications to a Kafka endpoint/s.

The kafkaplugin is configurable via REST/java apis in ODL. Initial configuration supports multiple endpoints, Event Topic Broker topic-id, and multiple serialisation/codec formats and other features.

    Hi Manish Kumar Barnwal,


    We would like to use Kafka Producer plugin and explore it in a more detail way but since its available under archived projects we are having doubts about project's stability.


    Is this plugin available in the latest release of ODL(silicon) ?


    Suggestion

    Like ONAP ,can you have a tree called Matured Projects/Approved Projects and add KafkaProducer plugin there so that the end user will not get confused between archived projects and the on-going project.

    Hi, Vishal Varvate .

    The Kafka Producer sub-project has been archived since 2018 and not indicative of today's project stability.

    The project never actually had any contributions.  You can see the archive proposal here: https://lists.opendaylight.org/g/z.archive.kafkaproducer-dev/message/15


    OpenDaylight does have a project lifecycle, which you can find documented here: https://docs.opendaylight.org/en/stable-silicon/release-process/index.html


    For more information, I suggest using the mailing list.  Archived project comments are not typically monitored.

    discuss@lists.opendaylight.org is a great place to start.
