= Kafka Connect Couchbase

[abstract]
A plug-in for the https://kafka.apache.org/documentation.html#connect[Kafka Connect framework].

== What does it do?

The plugin includes a "source connector" for publishing document change notifications from Couchbase to a Kafka topic, as well as a "sink connector" that subscribes to one or more Kafka topics and writes the messages to Couchbase.

See the documentation linked above for more details and a quickstart guide.

== Customizing the message format

The example project in `examples/custom-extensions` shows how to extend the source connector and customize the format of messages published to Kafka.

== Building the connector from source

Pre-built distributions are available from the download link above.
The following instructions are intended for developers working on the connector.

JDK 9 or later is required when building the connector.

. Clone this GitHub repository.
. Run `./mvnw package` in the project's root directory to generate the connector archive.
. Look for `couchbase-kafka-connect-couchbase-<version>.zip` under the `target` directory.
