Additional Kafka Properties

You can add custom Kafka configuration properties to the Kafka Consumer.

When you add a custom Kafka configuration property, enter the exact property name and the value. The Kafka Consumer does not validate the property names or values.

If custom configurations conflict with other stage properties, the stage generates an error unless you select the Override Stage Configurations check box. With the check box selected, the custom configurations override other stage properties. For example, to use a SASL mechanism other than PLAIN or GSSAPI (Kerberos), which the stage provides, add the necessary properties as custom configuration properties and select the Override Stage Configurations check box. For information about the necessary properties, see the Kafka documentation.
