What it does
A Kafka Receiver configured on the event broker reads records from one or more Kafka topics, converts each to a broker message and publishes it to a broker topic, without Kafka Connect in between. A substitution expression builds the broker topic from the Kafka topic. The Kafka topic, partition and offset arrive as user properties, and every Kafka header becomes a user property too.
Remaining work
Configure the Kafka Receiver and its topic bindings on the broker. The application still needs a client for the broker, which for CAP is one of the two advanced event mesh plugins below.
