Can the StreamBase adapters for Apache Kafka be used with Microsoft Azure Event Hubd

[Steve Barber]

The answer is yes.

A useful getting started with Kafka and Azure Event Hub article is here:https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/event-hubs/event-hubs-quickstart-kafka-enabled-event-hubs

To configure the Apache Kafka adapter for StreamBase instances set these properties:

1. The Adapter Properties >Brokers propertywill be{EVENT HUB NAMESPACE}.servicebus.windows.net:9093

(Do not precede the Brokers value with Endpoint=sb:// or anything else -- use only the FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) and port number.)

2. In the AdvancedOptions > Advanced Configuration property, add these three Keys and Values:

security.protocol=SASL_SSL

sasl.mechanism=PLAIN

sasl.jaas.config=org.apache.kafka.common.security.plain.PlainLoginModule required username="$ConnectionString" password="{CONNECTION STRING for EVENT HUB NAMESPACE}";
