EDH Kafka Consumer

A data source stage, which consumes data from specified Kafka Topic. It supports both standalone and cluster pipelines. When configuring the EDH Kafka Consumer, the configuration is different for general pipelines and advanced pipelines.

When configuring the EDH Kafka Consumer for general pipelines, the consumed Topic is specified by default and cannot be changed. That is, MEASURE_POINT_INTERNAL_{OUID} Topic for real-time channel, and MEASURE_POINT_INTERNAL_OFFLINE_{OUID} Topic for offline channel. In which, {OUID} is the organization ID.

When configuring the EDH Kafka Consumer for advanced pipelines, the consumed Topic can be specified based on business needs. By default, the system will create the following 6 Topics for use as needed:

• MEASURE_POINT_INTERNAL_{OUID}

• MEASURE_POINT_INTERNAL_OFFLINE_{OUID}

• MEASURE_POINT_CAL_{OUID}

• MEASURE_POINT_CAL_OFFLINE_{OUID}

• MEASURE_POINT_ORIGIN_{OUD}

• MEASURE_POINT_ORIGIN_OFFLINE_{OUID}

In which, {OUID} is the organization ID. You can also request for the Stream Processing - Message Queue resource on the Resource Management page, which can be selected as the consumed Topic.

Configuration

The configuration tabs for this stage are General and Kafka.

General

Name	Required?	Description
Name	Yes	The name of the stage.
Description	No	The description of the stage.

Kafka (General)

Name	Required?	Description
Kafka Configuration	No	Configure advanced Kafka parameters. The parameter auto.offset.reset will be preseted by default. You can change the configuration as needed. For more information, see Kafka Documentation.

Sample configuration is as follows:

Kafka (Advanced)

Name	Required?	Description
Topic	Yes	Consumed Kafka Topic.
Kafka Configuration	No	Configure advanced Kafka parameters. The parameters auto.offset.reset and default.api.timeout.ms will be preseted by default. You can change the configuration as needed. For more information, see Kafka Documentation.

Sample configuration is as follows:

Data Format

The topics created by the system have strict data formats. Sample for each topic is as follows:
