What's New in 1.10.1

Important

Upgrade to Version 1.10.1

Version 1.9 introduced a bug related to MongoSourceTask.start that can cause a resource leak on both the connector side and the server side .

Upgrade to version 1.10.1 if you are using version 1.9 or 1.10 of the connector.

  • Fixed a resource leak related to MongoSourceTask.start that was introduced in version 1.9.

What's New in 1.10

  • Added the connector name to JMX monitoring metrics.

  • Added support for SSL by creating the following configuration options:

    • connection.ssl.truststore

    • connection.ssl.truststorePassword

    • connection.ssl.keystore

    • connection.ssl.keystorePassword

  • Ensured the driver parses config values from config providers before validating them.

What's New in 1.9.1

  • Corrected the behavior of schema inference for documents in nested arrays.

What's New in 1.9

  • Introduced the startup.mode=timestamp setting that allows you to start a Change Stream at a specific timestamp by setting the new startup.mode.timestamp.start.at.operation.time property.

  • Deprecated the copy.existing property and all copy.existing.* properties. You should use startup.mode=copy_existing and startup.mode.copy.existing.* properties to configure the copy existing feature.

  • Introduced the change.stream.full.document.before.change setting that allows you to access and configure the pre-image of an update operation in the change stream event document.

  • Improved schema inference for nested documents contained in arrays.

  • Introduced the publish.full.document.only.tombstones.on.delete setting that configures the connector to send tombstone events when documents are deleted. This setting only applies when publish.full.document.only is true.

  • Added MongoDB server exception information to dead letter queue messages.

What's New in 1.8.1

  • Corrected the type returned by getAttribute() and getAttributes() method calls in JMX MBeans to Attribute.

What's New in 1.8

Sink Connector

  • Added support for the Debezium MongoDB change stream CDC handler. You can now configure the connector to listen for events produced by this handler.

What's New in 1.7

  • Updated the MongoDB Java driver dependency to version 4.5

Sink Connector

  • Added dead letter queue error reports in the event the connector experiences bulk write errors

  • Added support for unordered bulk writes with the bulk.write.ordered configuration property

  • Added warning when attempting to use a Change Data Capture (CDC) handler with a post processor

  • Removed support for the max.num.retries configuration property

  • Removed support for the retries.defer.timeout configuration property

Important

Disable Retries Through Connection URI

To disable retries, specify the retryWrites=false option in your MongoDB connection URI.

The following configuration, which contains a placeholder MongoDB connection URI, disables retries:

connection.uri=mongodb://mongodb0.example.com:27017,mongodb1.example.com:27017,mongodb2.example.com:27017/?replicaSet=myRepl&retryWrites=false

To learn more about connecting the MongoDB Kafka Connector to MongoDB, see the Connect to MongoDB guide.

To learn more about connection URI options, see the Connection Options guide in the MongoDB Java driver documentation.

What's New in 1.6

  • Added support for Stable API to force the server to run operations with behavior compatible with the specified API version

    Note

    Starting from February 2022, the Versioned API is known the Stable API. All concepts and features remain the same with this naming change.

  • Added error handling properties for the sink connector and source connector that can override the Kafka Connect framework's error handling behavior

  • Added mongo-kafka-connect-<version>-confluent.jar, which contains the connector and all dependencies needed to run it on the Confluent Platform
