The open metadata topic connectors are connectors that support the base Open Metadata Topic used for asynchronous event passing between members of the open metadata ecosystem.
The open metadata topic connectors pass events as Strings containing JSON documents. The open metadata modules are implemented with beans to enable these JSON documents to be parsed into Java.
The open metadata repository services (OMRS) api module, repository-services-apis, provides the base classes for implementing an open metadata topic connector. This includes the thread management.
There are two implementations of these base classes:
-
inmemory-open-metadata-topic-connector that supports in-memory event passing between the OMRS and OMAS modules within a single server.
-
kafka-open-metadata-topic-connector that supports event passing over Apache Kafka.
