Setting up infrastructure for data ingestion


There are multiple tools and frameworks available on the market for data ingestion. We will discuss the following in the scope of this book:

  • Apache Kafka

Apache Kafka

Kafka is message broker which can be connected to any real-time framework available on the market. In this book, we will use Kafka often for all types of examples. We will use Kafka as a data source which keeps data from files in queues for further processing.

cp kafka_2.11-0.10.1.1.tgz /home/ubuntu/demo/kafkacd /home/ubuntu/demo/kafkatar -xvf kafka_2.11-0.10.1.1.tgz
