My request to you on LinkedIn being -not sure if I'm posting my query at the right place.

Use Case-would like to stream data in real time to our big data environment using Kafka -current using bix utility.

1>What would be the steps for configuration

2>Would the data stream into a kafa stream after creating a Kafka data set thus bypassing the database.?-if so any pros/cons

3>What happens if u want to stream the data into the big data from the database considering Pega obfuscates the blob before handing the data to oracle for writing

4>Do we need a license to use Kafka -currently using 7.2 Pega does Kafka work with 7.2

5>looking for configuration steps if there is a solution for our use case

6>also looking for some good documentation-not looking to understand kafka concepts in a pega site-

thanks

Selwyn
