How can I handle error reporting in Kafka Connect?

In Kafka Connect, you can handle error reporting by configuring error handling settings in your connector. You can choose to log errors, send them to a dead letter queue, or even retry the operation.

What are the different error handling strategies available?

The main strategies include logging errors, using a dead letter queue (DLQ) for problematic records, and configuring retries for transient errors.

Can you explain how to set up a dead letter queue?

To set up a dead letter queue, you need to specify the DLQ topic in your connector configuration. This way, any records that fail processing will be sent to that topic for later analysis.

What happens to records that are sent to the dead letter queue?

Records in the dead letter queue can be analyzed to understand the cause of failure. You can then decide whether to fix the issues and reprocess them or discard them.
