public class KafkaSource
extends AbstractPollableSource
implements Configurable

A Source for Kafka which reads messages from kafka topics. kafka.bootstrap.servers: A comma separated list of host:port pairs to use for establishing the initial connection to the Kafka cluster. For example host1:port1,host2:port2,... Required for kafka.

kafka.consumer.group.id: the group ID of consumer group. Required

kafka.topics: the topic list separated by commas to consume messages from. Required

maxBatchSize: Maximum number of messages written to Channel in one batch. Default: 1000

maxBatchDurationMillis: Maximum number of milliseconds before a batch (of any size) will be written to a channel. Default: 1000

kafka.consumer.*: Any property starting with "kafka.consumer" will be passed to the kafka consumer So you can use any configuration supported by Kafka 0.9.0.X useFlumeEventFormat: Reads events from Kafka Topic as an Avro FlumeEvent.
