## Integration Details

This plugin extracts the following:

- Source and Sink Connectors in Kafka Connect as Data Pipelines
- For Source connectors - Data Jobs to represent lineage information between source dataset to Kafka topic per `{connector_name}:{source_dataset}` combination
- For Sink connectors - Data Jobs to represent lineage information between Kafka topic to destination dataset per `{connector_name}:{topic}` combination

### Concept Mapping

This ingestion source maps the following Source System Concepts to DataHub Concepts:

## Current limitations

Works only for

- Source connectors: JDBC, Debezium, Mongo and Generic connectors with user-defined lineage graph
- Sink connectors: BigQuery, Confluent, S3, Snowflake
