kafkaload
Synopsis
starlake kafkaload [options]
Description
Two modes are available : The batch mode and the streaming mode.
Batch mode
In batch mode, you start the kafka (off)loader regurarly and the last consumed offset
will be stored in the comet_offsets topic config
(see reference-kafka.conf for an example).
When offloading data from kafka to a file, you may ask to coalesce the result to a specific number of files / partitions. If you ask to coalesce to a single partition, the offloader will store the data in the exact filename you provided in the path argument.
The figure below describes the batch offloading process
The figure below describes the batch offloading process with comet-offsets-mode = "FILE"
Streaming mode
In this mode, te program keep running and you the comet_offsets topic is not used. The (off)loader will use a consumer group id you specify in the access options of the topic configuration you are dealing with.
