could you add support for native Redpanda Kafka support using SCRAM authentication like this?
bootstrap.servers=…
security.protocol=SASL_PLAINTEXT
sasl.jaas.config=org.apache.kafka.common.security.scram.ScramLoginModule required username=‘…’ password=‘…’;
sasl.mechanism=SCRAM-SHA-256
I mean you already support Confluent Cloud natively (=without having to run Kafka Connect), so it should be very easy to add support for Redpanda as well I’d assume
And it would make Rockset so much more attractive for the growing set of Redpanda users
Thanks, @ralph - I’m tracking demand for different Kafka implementations. We currently have Confluent (as you mentioned) and looking to add AWS MSK soon as well (we had more than a few customers asking for this). I’ll add this to the list of asks and keep you posted when we make this available.
as I said - supporting SCRAM for Redpanda would be extremely easy to implement for you - it’s just a slightly different config for connecting to the cluster… but essentially it also is a “user”/“password” authentication like with Confluent Cloud…
