Confluent redshift connector

0

When creating confluent redshift sink connector in MSK connect, what is the significance of the bootstrap string connector configuration? As far as I know, we do not have to explicitly specify bootstrap server when creating connector in MSK Connect when connecting with MSK Cluster. Then, why is that required in this specific connector type?

confluent.topic.bootstrap.servers=****

confluent.topic.bootstrap.servers=**** is used for the licensing. Since it is a commercial connector, it needs to have a license information. Mentioned topic will be accessed by the internal mechanism when a connector instance starts to check the license.

Hello there,

MSK Connect provides a default worker configuration. You also have the option to create a custom worker configuration to use with your connectors [1]. As you aware each connector have its own configuration and some will be mandatory configurations. As per the doc [2] Confluent.topic.bootstrap.servers=**** looks to be an optional configuration as you are using MSK connect. Are you getting any error if not specifying confluent.topic.bootstrap.servers=**** in the configuration?
