Consumer and schema registry config

When configuring the Kafka connector, we could need to pass extra parameters to the consumer or the schema registry to be able to connect. The accepted values for the consumer can be found in the following link, while the ones optional for the schema registry are here.

The image below shows what the configuration of a local Kafka server with a secured schema registry would look like:

In case you are performing the ingestion through the CLI with a YAML file, the service connection config should look like this:

  serviceConnection:
    config:
      type: Kafka
      bootstrapServers: localhost:9092
      schemaRegistryURL: http://localhost:8081
      consumerConfig:
        "ssl.truststore.password": "password"
      schemaRegistryConfig:
        "basic.auth.user.info": "username:password"
