Incorrect detection of connector type

[jpechane]

Debezium project delivers a set of source connectors for change data capture. Unfortunately the connectors are presented as sink because of this line
https://github.com/Landoop/kafka-connect-ui/blob/e838f5b716e05d2b0ecb8ce03075eb5acfd97d9d/src/kafka-connect/configuration/extraction/configuration-type.filter.js#L25

The connector type should not be identified as such based on presence of source string in its name

Thanks for the report @jglambed can u please look into that ? Given that Debezium connectors will also be part of the fast-data-dev docker in the following release, i believe we should attend into it

Hey, Debezium lead here :) Out of curiousity, what's "fast-data-dev"?

[Antwnis]

Hey @gunnarmorling nice to meet up - Co-Founder of landoop.com here

Fast-data-dev is https://github.com/Landoop/fast-data-dev
that might be upgraded into Lenses-Box -> http://lenses.stream/developers-guide/dev-environment/index.html

It comes with (stream-reactor) - that is a collection of 27 Kafka Connectors and additional high-value / popular Kafka Connector, thus we are in the process of delivering the debezium collection of Kafka Connectors - so that people can have an out-of-the-box experience and be enabled to test-out Kafka Connect and build streaming apps on i.e. their laptops, or easily tear-up and down environments

@gunnarmorling @jpechane care to join our public Slack channel so we can have a quick discussion and discuss more. Been using debezium for quite a while, and will be keen to connect-up

Hi @gunnarmorling, great work on Debezium!
Just to add on what @Antwnis wrote, fast-data-dev essentially is kafka in a container. We package kafka, connect, schema registry, our kafka UIs etc into a docker image aimed towards developers and people who want to get a quick taste of the kafka ecosystem.

@andmarios Just curieus while using debezium mysql and having the described issue with a deployed kaffa (not landoop-dev), is it possible to use individual parts of fast-data-dev. I mean only use the connector-ui and topics-ui for example?

thx

@HBO2

The individual parts of fast-data-dev have their own GitHub projects:
