Configuring the Required Parameters in the Configuration File
You must configure the parameters related to Kafka in the configuration file. You can also configure the processing mode that indicates whether you want to link or tokenize the input data.
- Open the configuration file in a text editor.
- To configure Kafka, configure the following parameters within the
RealTimeService section:
- Broker
- Host name of the machine that hosts Kafka and the port number on which Kafka listens. If you use a Kafka cluster, you can specify multiple host names and port numbers separated by commas.
- Use the following format to specify the host name and the port number:
<Host Name1>:<Port1>,<Host Name2>:<Port2>,...<Host NameN>:<PortN>
For example,KafkaBroker2:9092,KafkaBroker1:9092 - TopicName
- Name of the Kafka topic to which the input data is published.
- To configure the processing mode, set the
ALTERNATETABLEFORGROUPINFO property within the
MetaData section.
Use one of the following values:
- True. Indicates to perform the linking process.
- False. Indicates to perform the tokenization process. Default is false.
- Save the file.
For example, the following sample code contains the Kafka parameters:
<RealTimeService>
<Broker>localhost:9092</Broker>
<TopicName>test-22</TopicName>
</RealTimeService>
