Parquet Output From Kafka Connect to S3

Question

I see Kafka Connect can write to S3 in Avro or JSON formats. But there is no Parquet support. How hard would this be to add?

Answer 1

Starting with Confluent 5.4.0, there is official support for Parquet output to S3.

Answer 2

The Qubole connector supports writing out parquet - https://github.com/qubole/streamx
