Kafka Connect Elasticsearch Connector

Changelog for this connector can be found here.

kafka-connect-elasticsearch is a Kafka Connector for copying data between Kafka and Elasticsearch.

Development

To build a development version you'll need a recent version of Kafka as well as a set of upstream Confluent projects, which you'll have to build from their appropriate snapshot branch. See the FAQ for guidance on this process.

You can build kafka-connect-elasticsearch with Maven using the standard lifecycle phases.
