How to use Pulsar connectors
This guide describes how to use Pulsar connectors.
Install a connector​
Pulsar bundles several builtin connectors used to move data in and out of commonly used systems (such as database and messaging system). Optionally, you can create and use your desired non-builtin connectors.
When using a non-builtin connector, you need to specify the path of an archive file for the connector.
To set up a builtin connector, follow the instructions here.
After the setup, the builtin connector is automatically discovered by Pulsar brokers (or function-workers), so no additional installation steps are required.
Configure a connector​
You can configure the following information:
Configure a default storage location for a connector​
To configure a default folder for builtin connectors, set the connectorsDirectory
parameter in the ./conf/functions_worker.yml
configuration file.
Example
Set the ./connectors
folder as the default storage location for builtin connectors.
########################
# Connectors
########################
connectorsDirectory: ./connectors
Configure a connector with a YAML file​
To configure a connector, you need to provide a YAML configuration file when creating a connector.
The YAML configuration file tells Pulsar where to locate connectors and how to connect connectors with Pulsar topics.
Example 1
Below is a YAML configuration file of a Cassandra sink, which tells Pulsar:
Which Cassandra cluster to connect
What is the
keyspace
andcolumnFamily
to be used in Cassandra for collecting dataHow to map Pulsar messages into Cassandra table key and columns
tenant: public
namespace: default
name: cassandra-test-sink
...
# cassandra specific config
configs:
roots: "localhost:9042"
keyspace: "pulsar_test_keyspace"
columnFamily: "pulsar_test_table"
keyname: "key"
columnName: "col"
Example 2
Below is a YAML configuration file of a Kafka source.
configs:
bootstrapServers: "pulsar-kafka:9092"
groupId: "test-pulsar-io"
topic: "my-topic"
sessionTimeoutMs: "10000"
autoCommitEnabled: "false"
Example 3
Below is a YAML configuration file of a PostgreSQL JDBC sink.
configs:
userName: "postgres"
password: "password"
jdbcUrl: "jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/test_jdbc"
tableName: "test_jdbc"
Get available connectors​
Before starting using connectors, you can perform the following operations:
reload
​
If you add or delete a nar file in a connector folder, reload the available builtin connector before using it.

Use the reload
subcommand.

For the latest and complete information, see Pulsar admin docs.
Sink​
Use the reload
subcommand.
