This chapter has given us a brief understanding of Confluent Platform and it uses. You learned about the architecture of Confluent Platform and how Connectors can make our job of transporting data in and out of Kafka simpler. We also learned about how the Schema Registry solves data format issues and supports schema resolution. We have covered different ways of copying data from Kafka to HDFS and their examples.
In the next chapter, we will cover Kafka Connect in detail and will also look into how we can build a big data pipeline using Kafka and Kafka Connect.
