This quickstart will show you how to setup the ScyllaDB CDC Source Connector to replicate changes made in
a ScyllaDB table using :doc:ScyllaDB CDC </features/cdc/cdc-intro>.
First, let's setup a ScyllaDB cluster and create a CDC-enabled table.
ScyllaDB installation ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
For the purpose of this quickstart, we will configure a ScyllaDB instance using Docker. You can skip this
section if you have already installed ScyllaDB. To learn more about installing and configuring ScyllaDB in production
environments, please refer to the :doc:Getting Started guide </getting-started/index>.
#. Using Docker <https://hub.docker.com/r/scylladb/scylla/>_, follow the instructions to launch ScyllaDB.
#. Start the Docker container, replacing the --name and --host name parameters with your own information. For example:
.. code-block:: bash
docker run --name scylla-cdc-quickstart --hostname scylla-cdc-quickstart -d scylladb/scylla
docker run --name scylla-cdc-quickstart-2 --hostname scylla-cdc-quickstart-2 -d scylladb/scylla --seeds="$(docker inspect --format='{{ .NetworkSettings.IPAddress }}' scylla-cdc-quickstart)"
docker run --name scylla-cdc-quickstart-3 --hostname scylla-cdc-quickstart-3 -d scylladb/scylla --seeds="$(docker inspect --format='{{ .NetworkSettings.IPAddress }}' scylla-cdc-quickstart)"
#. Run docker ps to show the exposed ports. The output should be similar to this example:
.. code-block:: none
docker ps

Creating a CDC-enabled table ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Let's connect to your ScyllaDB cluster and create a new CDC-enabled table. We will create an example table by issuing the following CQL query and insert some example data:
.. code-block:: cql
CREATE KEYSPACE quickstart_keyspace WITH REPLICATION = {'class': 'NetworkTopologyStrategy', 'replication_factor': 3};
CREATE TABLE quickstart_keyspace.orders( customer_id int, order_id int, product text, PRIMARY KEY(customer_id, order_id)) WITH cdc = {'enabled': true};
INSERT INTO quickstart_keyspace.orders(customer_id, order_id, product) VALUES (1, 1, 'pizza'); INSERT INTO quickstart_keyspace.orders(customer_id, order_id, product) VALUES (1, 2, 'cookies'); INSERT INTO quickstart_keyspace.orders(customer_id, order_id, product) VALUES (1, 3, 'tea');
If you already have a table you wish to use, but it does not have CDC enabled, you can turn it on by using the following CQL query:
.. code-block:: cql
ALTER TABLE keyspace.table_name with cdc = {'enabled': true};

ScyllaDB CDC Source Connector works well with both open-source Kafka <https://kafka.apache.org/>_
and Confluent Platform <https://www.confluent.io/>_. In this quickstart we will show how
to install the Confluent Platform and deploy the connector (applicable to both open-source Kafka
and Confluent Platform).
Installing Confluent Platform ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If you are new to Confluent, download Confluent Platform <https://www.confluent.io/download/>_.
#. In the Download Confluent Platform section fill in your email address
#. Open the Select Deployment Type drop-down and select ZIP
#. Accept the Terms & Conditions and click DOWNLOAD FREE
#. You will receive an email with instructions. Download / move the file to the desired location
#. Continue with the setup following this document <https://docs.confluent.io/current/quickstart/ce-quickstart.html#ce-quickstart>_
Installing ScyllaDB CDC Source Connector ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
#. Download or build ScyllaDB CDC Source Connector using the project build instructions <https://github.com/scylladb/scylla-cdc-source-connector#building>_
#. Deploy the connector:
#. If you use Confluent Platform, move connector JAR files to the share/java folder
#. If you use open-source Kafka, make sure that plugin.path of Kafka Connect configuration contains the folder with connector JAR files
After you have successfully configured ScyllaDB and Kafka, the next step is to configure the connector and start it up.
Configuration using Confluent Control Center ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If you use Confluent Platform, the easiest way to configure and start up the ScyllaDB CDC Source Connector is to use Confluent Control Center web interface.
#. Open the Confluent Control Center. By default, it is started at port 9021:
.. image:: images/scylla-cdc-source-connector-control-center1.png :align: left :alt: Confluent Control Center main page
#. Click on the cluster you want to start the connector in and open the "Connect" tab:
.. image:: images/scylla-cdc-source-connector-control-center2.png :align: left :alt: Confluent Control Center "Connect" tab
#. Click on the Kafka Connect cluster:
.. image:: images/scylla-cdc-source-connector-control-center3.png :align: left :alt: Confluent Control Center "connect-default" cluster
#. Click "Add connector":
.. image:: images/scylla-cdc-source-connector-control-center4.png :align: left :alt: Confluent Control Center "Add connector"
#. Click "ScyllaConnector (Source Connector)":
.. image:: images/scylla-cdc-source-connector-control-center5.png :align: left :alt: Confluent Control Center "ScyllaConnector (Source Connector)"
#. Configure the connector. You need to fill in these required configuration parameters:
#. Name: the name of this configuration
#. Key converter class, value converter class: converters that determine the format
of produced messages. You can read more about them at Kafka Connect Deep Dive – Converters and Serialization Explained <https://www.confluent.io/blog/kafka-connect-deep-dive-converters-serialization-explained/>_
#. Hosts: contact points of ScyllaDB
#. Namespace: a unique name that identifies the ScyllaDB cluster and that is used as a prefix for all schemas, topics.
#. Table names: the names of CDC-enabled tables you want to replicate
For the quickstart example here are the values we will use:
#. Name: QuickstartConnector
#. Key converter class, value converter class: org.apache.kafka.connect.json.JsonConverter
#. Hosts: 172.17.0.2:9042 (ScyllaDB started in Docker)
#. Namespace: QuickstartConnectorNamespace
#. Table names: quickstart_keyspace.orders
.. image:: images/scylla-cdc-source-connector-control-center6.png :align: left :alt: Confluent Control Center connector configuration
#. Click "Continue" and "Launch"
#. After a short while, a new QuickstartConnectorNamespace.quickstart_keyspace.orders topic will be automatically created
and inserted rows will be replicated. You can browse them by going to the "Topics" tab, selecting
QuickstartConnectorNamespace.quickstart_keyspace.orders topic, going to "Message" tab and inputting 0 to "Jump to offset"
field:
.. image:: images/scylla-cdc-source-connector-control-center7.png

Configuration using open-source Kafka ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
#. Start Kafka Connect standalone using this guide <https://kafka.apache.org/documentation/#connect_running>_. You
will have to create a connector.properties file with the following contents:
.. code-block:: none
name = QuickstartConnector
connector.class = com.scylladb.cdc.debezium.connector.ScyllaConnector
key.converter = org.apache.kafka.connect.json.JsonConverter
value.converter = org.apache.kafka.connect.json.JsonConverter
scylla.cluster.ip.addresses = 172.17.0.2:9042
scylla.name = QuickstartConnectorNamespace
scylla.table.names = quickstart_keyspace.orders
#. After starting the connector, you can see the generated messages by using kafka-console-consumer tool:
.. code-block:: bash
bin/kafka-console-consumer --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --topic QuickstartConnectorNamespace.quickstart_keyspace.orders --from-beginning
