Kafka - Connect

Consider this Kafka Connect source connector configuration:

{"name": "file-source", "connector.class": "FileStreamSource", "tasks.max": "1", "file": "/var/log/app.log", "topics": "app-logs"}

What is the expected behavior when this connector starts?

AIt reads the file '/var/log/app.log' and streams its contents to the 'app-logs' Kafka topic.

BIt writes data from the 'app-logs' Kafka topic into the file '/var/log/app.log'.

CIt creates a new Kafka topic named '/var/log/app.log'.

DIt fails to start due to missing 'tasks.max' configuration.

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Identify connector type
FileStreamSource is a source connector that reads from a file.
Step 2: Understand data flow
It reads the specified file and writes data into the Kafka topic.
Step 3: Check configuration correctness
All required fields are present; 'tasks.max' is set to 1 correctly.
Final Answer:
It reads the file '/var/log/app.log' and streams its contents to the 'app-logs' Kafka topic. -> Option A
Quick Check:
FileStreamSource reads file to topic [OK]

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