Kafka Connections Overview

Use a Kafka connection to connect to a Kafka stream and read data from or write data to a topic.
You can also add additional Kafka brokers to form a Kafka cluster and create a Kafka connection. Use the Kafka connection to access an Apache Kafka broker, and read and write data.
After you create a Kafka connection, you can validate and save the connection.
You can then publish the Kafka connection and click the Metadata tab to view the generated process objects for the connection.
