Kafka - Connect

Given this Kafka Connect source connector configuration snippet:

{
  "name": "my-source-connector",
  "connector.class": "FileStreamSource",
  "tasks.max": "1",
  "file": "/tmp/input.txt",
  "topic": "test-topic"
}

What will happen when this connector runs?

AIt fails because 'tasks.max' must be an integer, not a string

BIt reads data from /tmp/input.txt and writes it to the Kafka topic 'test-topic'

CIt creates a new Kafka topic named '/tmp/input.txt'

DIt writes data from Kafka topic 'test-topic' to /tmp/input.txt

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Identify connector type and purpose
The "FileStreamSource" connector reads data from a file and sends it to a Kafka topic.
Step 2: Understand configuration keys
"file" specifies the input file, "topic" specifies the Kafka topic to write to, and "tasks.max" as a string is acceptable in JSON configs.
Final Answer:
It reads data from /tmp/input.txt and writes it to the Kafka topic 'test-topic' -> Option B
Quick Check:
FileStreamSource reads file to topic [OK]

Quick Trick: FileStreamSource reads file into Kafka topic [OK]
