What are my sink options with Apache Kafka
- Option 1: Routine Load
- Option 2: Kafka Sink
Kafka Sink Options
- Option 2A: StarRocks Kafka Connector which uses REST / Stream Load
- Option 2B: Aiven JDBC Connector which uses JDBC
It’s preferred to use option 2A because it’s 1) event driven. 2) uses the Stream Load interface behind the scenes which means the data goes directly to BE and doesn’t need FE processing.
