Description

My team is currently evaluating to use Beam in conjunction with Kafka. I am worried though about 3rd party libraries like LensesIO (lenses.io) that work on top of Kafka, and their compatibility with the KafkaIO connector of Beam - worried that I should have to rebuild the KafkaIO connector to make it compatible. Any experience?
