kafka-connect-directory-source

The connector is used to push file system events (additions and modifications of files in a directory) to Kafka.

Building

You can build the connector with Maven using the standard lifecycle phases:

mvn clean
mvn package

Sample Configuration - Start with embedded DirWatcher

name=directory-source
tasks.max=1 # not really needed
connector.class=org.apache.kafka.connect.directory.DirectorySourceConnector
directories.paths=./tmp1,./tmp2,./tmp3
check.dir.ms=1000 # optional, default is 1000
schema.name=directory_schema
topic=directory_topic

or as a JSON
