Building from the sources

If you want to develop and test the connector you need to build the jar from sources. To do so please follow those steps:

1. First build the package and locate the cassandra-enhanced-pulsar-sink .nar file (in pulsar-dist/target):

   mvn clean package
   

2. Copy the .nar file into the 'connectors' directory of your Pulsar broker

3. Open the Pulsar Sink config file config/pulsar-sink.yml and configure your topic and mapping:

   - in "topics" put the name of the topic
   - create a mapping from your topic to your Cassandra table
   

4. Run Pulsar Sink LocalRun and specify the path to the that config file:

   bin/pulsar-admin sinks localrun \
      --sink-config-file /path/to/config/pulsar-sink.yaml \
      -t cassandra-enhanced \
      -i persistent://public/default/topic
   

   With this command you are reading data from topic 'persistent://public/default/topic', the destination Cassandra cluster (address, authentication...), keyspace and table are defined in pulsar-sink.yml file

   You can map multiple topics to multiple tables.
