Elasticsearch Sink Connector Configuration Properties

To use this connector, specify the name of the connector class in the connector.class configuration property.

connector.class=io.confluent.connect.elasticsearch.ElasticsearchSinkConnector

Connector-specific configuration properties are described below.

Connector

connection.url

List of Elasticsearch HTTP connection URLs e.g. http://eshost1:9200,http://eshost2:9200, or https://eshost3:9200. If any of the URLs specifies https: protocol, HTTPS will be used for all connections. A URL with no protocol will be treated as http.

  • Type: list
  • Importance: high
connection.username

The username used to authenticate with Elasticsearch. The default is the null, and authentication will only be performed if both the username and password are non-null.

  • Type: string
  • Default: null
  • Importance: medium
connection.password

The password used to authenticate with Elasticsearch. The default is the null, and authentication will only be performed if both the username and password are non-null.

  • Type: password
  • Default: null
  • Importance: medium
batch.size

The number of records to process as a batch when writing to Elasticsearch.

  • Type: int
  • Default: 2000
  • Importance: medium
max.in.flight.requests

The maximum number of indexing requests that can be in-flight to Elasticsearch before blocking further requests.

  • Type: int
  • Default: 5
  • Importance: medium
max.buffered.records

The maximum number of records each task will buffer before blocking acceptance of more records. This config can be used to limit the memory usage for each task.

  • Type: int
  • Default: 20000
  • Importance: low
linger.ms

Linger time in milliseconds for batching. Records that arrive in between request transmissions are batched into a single bulk indexing request, based on the batch.size configuration. Normally this only occurs under load when records arrive faster than they can be sent out. However it may be desirable to reduce the number of requests even under light load and benefit from bulk indexing. This setting helps accomplish that - when a pending batch is not full, rather than immediately sending it out the task will wait up to the given delay to allow other records to be added so that they can be batched into a single request.

  • Type: long
  • Default: 1
  • Importance: low
flush.timeout.ms

The timeout in milliseconds to use for periodic flushing, and when waiting for buffer space to be made available by completed requests as records are added. If this timeout is exceeded the task will fail.

  • Type: long
  • Default: 10000
  • Importance: low
max.retries

The maximum number of retries that are allowed for failed indexing requests. If the retry attempts are exhausted the task will fail.

  • Type: int
  • Default: 5
  • Importance: low
retry.backoff.ms

How long to wait in milliseconds before attempting the first retry of a failed indexing request. Upon a failure, this connector may wait up to twice as long as the previous wait, up to the maximum number of retries. This avoids retrying in a tight loop under failure scenarios.

  • Type: long
  • Default: 100
  • Importance: low
connection.compression

Whether to use GZip compression on HTTP connection to ElasticSearch. To make this setting to work the http.compression setting also needs to be enabled at the Elasticsearch nodes before using it.

  • Type: boolean
  • Default: false
  • Importance: low
connection.timeout.ms

How long to wait in milliseconds when establishing a connection to the Elasticsearch server. The task fails if the client fails to connect to the server in this interval, and will need to be restarted.

  • Type: int
  • Default: 1000
  • Importance: low
read.timeout.ms

How long to wait in milliseconds for the Elasticsearch server to send a response. The task fails if any read operation times out, and will need to be restarted to resume further operations.

  • Type: int
  • Default: 3000
  • Importance: low

Writes

write.method

The method used to write Kafka records to Elasticsearch.

The default method is INSERT. When INSERT is used, the connector constructs a document from the record value and inserts that document into Elasticsearch, completely replacing any existing document with the same ID. The UPSERT method creates a new document if one with the specified ID does not exist, or updates an existing document with the same ID by adding or replacing only those fields present in the record value. The UPSERT method may require additional time and Elasticsearch resources, so consider increasing the flush.timeout.ms and read.timeout.ms configuration properties, and decreasing the batch.size property.

  • Type: string
  • Default: INSERT
  • Valid Values: one of [INSERT, UPSERT]
  • Importance: high

Security

elastic.security.protocol

The security protocol to use when connecting to Elasticsearch. Values can be PLAINTEXT or SSL. If PLAINTEXT is passed, all configs prefixed by elastic.https. will be ignored. This is optional for client.

elastic.https.ssl.key.password

The password of the private key in the key store file. This is optional for client.

  • Type: password

  • Type: string
  • Default: null
  • Importance: high
elastic.https.ssl.keystore.password

The store password for the key store file. This is optional for client and only needed if ssl.keystore.location is configured.

elastic.https.ssl.truststore.location

  • Importance: medium
elastic.https.ssl.protocol

The SSL protocol used to generate the SSLContext. Default setting is TLS, which is fine for most cases. Allowed values in recent JVMs are TLS, TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.2. SSL, SSLv2 and SSLv3 may be supported in older JVMs, but their usage is discouraged due to known security vulnerabilities.

  • Type: string

  • Type: list
  • Default: null
  • Importance: low
elastic.https.ssl.endpoint.identification.algorithm

  • Importance: low

Data Conversion

type.name

The Elasticsearch type name to use when indexing.

  • Type: string
  • Importance: high
key.ignore

Whether to ignore the record key for the purpose of forming the Elasticsearch document ID. When this is set to true, document IDs will be generated as the record`s topic+partition+offset. Note that this is a global config that applies to all topics. Use topic.key.ignore to override as true for specific topics.

  • Type: boolean
  • Default: false
  • Importance: high
schema.ignore

Whether to ignore schemas during indexing. When this is set to true, the record schema will be ignored for the purpose of registering an Elasticsearch mapping. Elasticsearch will infer the mapping from the data (dynamic mapping needs to be enabled by the user). Note that this is a global config that applies to all topics. Use topic.schema.ignore to override as true for specific topics.

  • Type: boolean
  • Default: false
  • Importance: low
compact.map.entries

Defines how map entries with string keys within record values should be written to JSON. When this is set to true, these entries are written compactly as "entryKey": "entryValue". Otherwise, map entries with string keys are written as a nested document {"key": "entryKey", "value": "entryValue"}. All map entries with non-string keys are always written as nested documents. Prior to 3.3.0, this connector always wrote map entries as nested documents, so set this to false to use that older behavior.

  • Type: boolean
  • Default: true
  • Importance: low
topic.index.map

This option is now deprecated. A future version may remove it completely. Please use single message transforms, such as RegexRouter, to map topic names to index names.

A map from Apache Kafka® topic name to the destination Elasticsearch index, represented as a list of topic:index pairs.

  • Type: list
  • Default: “”
  • Importance: low
topic.key.ignore

List of topics for which key.ignore should be true.

  • Type: list
  • Default: “”
  • Importance: low
topic.schema.ignore

List of topics for which schema.ignore should be true.

  • Type: list
  • Default: “”
  • Importance: low
drop.invalid.message

Whether to drop kafka message when it cannot be converted to output message.

  • Type: boolean
  • Default: false
  • Importance: low
behavior.on.null.values

How to handle records with a non-null key and a null value (i.e. Kafka tombstone records). Valid options are ignore, delete, and fail.

  • Type: string
  • Default: ignore
  • Valid Values: [ignore, delete, fail]
  • Importance: low
behavior.on.malformed.documents

How to handle records that Elasticsearch rejects due to some malformation of the document itself, such as an index mapping conflict or a field name containing illegal characters. Valid options are ignore, warn, and fail.

  • Type: string
  • Default: fail
  • Valid Values: [ignore, warn, fail]
  • Importance: low
