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:
  1. Step 1: Analyze pipeline requirements

    High volume and availability require scalability and fault tolerance.
  2. Step 2: Match requirements to Kafka Connect modes

    Distributed mode runs multiple workers and supports fault tolerance, meeting these needs.
  3. Final Answer:

    Distributed mode, because it supports multiple workers and fault tolerance -> Option A
  4. 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
