Description

The nifi-external/kafka-connect component usage is unknown. We see very little apache community engagement in/around this component. And it sees very little if any maintainenance. In the past year there appears to be a single change other than dependency updates around the component but not within (ie it isn't updated for latest Kafka 3 or even Kafka 2).

Any remaining usage of it can continue from the 1.x release of it but we should discontinue support for it in the NiFi 2.x line unless there is a significant shift in both interest/usage and maintenance.
