Preview Feature: Support for Version 2 Bridge Design
|
||||
|
||||
- Introduction of Bridge v2 with a new 'connector' concept
|
||||
|
||||
- In the original Bridge v1 design, each connector was exclusively tied to a single bridge.
|
||||
This design prioritized error isolation and performance but posed challenges for users setting up multiple bridges to the same service.
|
||||
For instance, setting up 10 bridges to a single Kafka cluster required the same configuration to be repeated for each bridge.
|
||||
|
||||
- The revamped Bridge v2 design provides more flexibility and better scalability:
|
||||
- Users have the option to either share a connector across multiple bridges or retain it exclusively for one bridge, as in v1.
|
||||
- For the majority of data bridges, sharing a connector among too many bridges might lead to performance degradation but avoids
|
||||
overloading the external system with too many connections if the number of bridges is very high.
|
||||
- In some cases, specific data bridges always utilize dedicated connections, even when the connector is shared.
|
||||
Right now these are:
|
||||
- Kafka Producer
|
||||
- Azure Event Hub Producer
|
||||
|
||||
- Management of Connectors
|
||||
- Connectors can now be managed separately, bringing in more flexibility.
|
||||
- New API endpoints have been introduced under the `/connectors` path for connector management.
|
||||
- Version 2 bridges can be managed via the `/bridges_v2` endpoint.
|
||||
|
||||
- Limitations in e5.3.1
|
||||
|
||||
- Currently, only the Kafka and Azure Event Hub producer bridges have been upgraded to the v2 design.
|
||||
- The v2 bridge feature is accessible through config files and HTTP APIs. However, it's not yet available on the dashboard UI.
