What if I want a on demand or scheduled job to pull data from Kafka and insert it into StarRocks?

Of the 2 options:

Option 1: Routine Load
Option 2: Kafka Sink

I would use Routine Load. That allows you to submit a database job that will connect to Kafka (StarRocks is the client) and process the data in the queue. This means you will have to build a tool to have it pull data when you want it.
