How to connect Apache Kafka with Amazon S3?

I want to store data from Kafka into a bucket s3 using Kafka Connect. I had already a Kafka's topic running and I had a bucket s3 created. My topic has data on Protobuffer, I tried with https://github.com/qubole/streamx and I obtained the next error:

I did the next steps:

  1. I cloned the repository.
  2. mvn DskipTests package

  3. nano config/connect-standalone.properties

    bootstrap.servers=ip-myip.ec2.internal:9092
key.converter=com.qubole.streamx.ByteArrayConverter
value.converter=com.qubole.streamx.ByteArrayConverter

  4. nano config/quickstart-s3.properties

    name=s3-sink 
connector.class=com.qubole.streamx.s3.S3SinkConnector
format.class=com.qubole.streamx.SourceFormat tasks.max=1
topics=ssp.impressions
flush.size=3
s3.url=s3://myaccess_key:mysecret_key@mybucket/demo

  5. connect-standalone /etc/kafka/connect-standalone.properties quickstart-s3.properties

I would like to know if that I did is okay or another way to keep data into S3 from Kafka.

Another way would be to write a consumer with log rotation and then corn files to S3 .

You can use Kafka Connect to do this integration, with the Kafka Connect S3 connector.

Kafka Connect is part of Apache Kafka, and the S3 connector is an open-source connector available either standalone or as part of Confluent Platform.

For general information and examples of Kafka Connect, this series of articles might help:

Disclaimer: I work for Confluent, and wrote the above blog articles.

April 2020: I have recorded a video showing how to use the S3 sink: https://rmoff.dev/kafka-s3-video
