无法将数据从 kafka 主题发送到 elasticsearch

Question

I'm trying to build a data pipline using mongo get data from mongoDB to my kafka topic db (as a source), elasticsearch (as a sink) and kafka. I have successfully received data from mongoDB to my kafka topic. This is an example of data captured from mongoDB

{"_id": {"_data": "825E88FED8000000012B022C0100296E5A10044D2CA180FAF94580B30CFA4B3CC80E1546645F696400645E88FED793AFA61A58411B2A0004"}, "operationType": "insert", "clusterTime": {"$timestamp": {"t": 1586036440, "i": 1}}, "fullDocument": {"_id": {"$oid": "5e88fed793afa61a58411b2a"}, "name": "Lefèvre Mathis", "phoneNumber": 87640262, "phoneNumber2": 98462768, "phoneNumber3": 50591075, "email": "LefèvreMathis@gmail.com", "websiteUrl": "www.LefèvreMathis.fr", "legalInformation": {"companyName": "Duval EI", "siren": 7.3887975858196E13, "nic": 28866, "siret": 7.3887975858196E13, "ape": "49.53", "tva": "FR-1173030343", "description": "Blanditiis et placeat voluptas hic et.

The problem is when I run my ES sink connector I get this Exception:

Caused by: org.apache.kafka.connect.errors.DataException: Converting byte[] to Kafka Connect data failed due to serialization error:

my es-sink-connector:

{ "name": "sink", "config": { "connector.class": "io.confluent.connect.elasticsearch.ElasticsearchSinkConnector", "connection.url": "http://172.21.0.4:9200", "type.name": "subscriber", "topics": "test5.elasticsearchApp.subscriber", "key.ignore": "false","value.converter.schemas.enable": "false","schema.ignore": "true","value.converter":"org.apache.kafka.connect.json.JsonConverter" } }

and mongodb-source-connector

When I tried to use json converter in my mongoDBConnector I get a String format for my payload when consuming from kafka topic

{"schema":{"type":"string","optional":false},"payload":"{\"_id\": {\"_data\": \"825E89EA94000000012B022C0100296E5A10044D2CA180FAF94580B30CFA4B3CC80E1546645F696400645E89EA94FC56002500157F490004\"}, \"operationType\": \"insert\", \"clusterTime\": {\"$timestamp\": {\"t\": 1586096788, \"i\": 1}}, \"fullDocument\": {\"_id\": {\"$oid\": \"5e89ea94fc56002500157f49\"}, \"name\": \"Lefèvre Mathis\", \"phoneNumber\": 87640262, \"phoneNumber2\": 98462768, \"phoneNumber3\": 50591075, \"email\": \"LefèvreMathis@gmail.com\", \"websiteUrl\": \"www.LefèvreMathis.fr\", \"legalInformation\": {\"companyName\": \"Duval EI\", \"siren\": 7.3887975858196E13, \"nic\": 28866, \"siret\": 7.3887975858196E13, \"ape\": \"49.53\", \"tva\": \"FR-1173030343\", \"description\": \"Blanditiis et placeat voluptas hic et.

Answer 1

1. Don't use this if you don't want the Mongo connector to generate a string payload

   "value.converter":"org.apache.kafka.connect.storage.StringConverter"

2. You will need this in the sink because you have both schema and payload in your JSON on the topic

    "value.converter.schemas.enable": "true"

3. You'll need to use an Elasticsearch index mapping to parse out the string since Connect won't do that for you.

I'm not sure if there is a bug in the Mongo connector. Never used it, but I would like to think that JSON Comverter should work, or at least Avro.
