Aiven's OpenSearch Connector for Apache Kafka has been updated to version 3.1.0.
Important: This connector version includes breaking changes on the code level. If you have manually created data stream integrations using the previous version, these changes may impact your existing integrations.
Key highlights:
- Dead-letter Queue support: This release introduces support for the Dead-letter queue, which captures events that failed to be indexed in OpenSearch. The Dead-letter queue enhances fault tolerance and error handling by providing a separate queue for troubleshooting and analyzing indexing failures. For more information, see Error Handling in Connect.
- Configuration settings updated: The configuration settings related to handling rejected records and version conflicts in OpenSearch have been updated.
