Kafka adapter

The Kafka adapter interacts with Apache Kafka, which is a distributed streaming platform. A streaming platform can be used for building real-time data pipelines and streaming apps. 

The Kafka adapter consists of an actor and a monitor adapter. In version 20.19.02, Kafka actor adapter supports a single operation for sending messages using the Kafka Producer API. Kafka monitor adapter uses Kafka Consumer APIs. For information about Apache Kafka, seeApache Kafka documentation. 

The Kafka adapter supports dynamic targets, which allows you to configure an adapter in Grid Manager with an empty configuration node, <config/>, and designate the target Kafka brokers in each adapter request. Alternatively, an adapter configuration can contain a fully defined configuration node and have a dynamic target defined for the adapter requests.
