Kafka - Connect

You have a data pipeline that must handle high volume and remain available even if one worker fails. Which Kafka Connect mode should you choose and why?

ADistributed mode, because it supports multiple workers and fault tolerance

BStandalone mode, because it is simpler to configure

CStandalone mode, because it automatically restarts connectors on failure

DDistributed mode, because it runs connectors in a single process

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Analyze pipeline requirements
High volume and availability require scalability and fault tolerance.
Step 2: Match requirements to Kafka Connect modes
Distributed mode runs multiple workers and supports fault tolerance, meeting these needs.
Final Answer:
Distributed mode, because it supports multiple workers and fault tolerance -> Option A
Quick Check:
High volume + fault tolerance = distributed mode [OK]

Quick Trick: Choose distributed mode for scalability and fault tolerance [OK]

Common Mistakes:

MISTAKES

Choosing standalone for high availability
Thinking standalone auto-restarts connectors
Misunderstanding distributed mode runs single process
