Compatibility

The connectors are compatible with any recent Confluent Platform or Kafka release (tested against CP 7.6.x and AK 3.6.x).

It has been tested successfully using Kafka Connect deployed on Windows and on macOS.

It must be deployed on self-managed Kafka Connect clusters

These connectors are not available as fully-managed connectors (or as "bring-your-own-connectors") for Confluent Cloud.

The connectors operate in single-task mode; so load balancing across multiple worker nodes for a Kafka Connect cluster is not possible.

This is because the incoming (and outgoing) filesystems cannot be shared across multiple Kafka conenct servers.

Requirement for dependencies (Java, ulimits) are similar to requirements for Confluent Platform
