Jira Kafka Connector. How do I get all issues?

[Oleg Vyglovskiy]

I found this connector (https://docs.confluent.io/kafka-connect-jira/current/overview.html) but I have problems understanding how it works. This connector supports a limited number of jira tables, which are accessed only by issue number. And I don't see any options to get all the existing issues using it.

Do I understand correctly, I should use usual API request (without Kafka connector) to get all issues (for example with JQL - https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v2/api-group-issue-search/#api-group-issue-search)? And then use this connector for getting information about each issue from previous request?

It seems to me that this is the wrong using of the connector, or I do not understand something from its description(

Hi @Oleg Vyglovskiy , welcome to the Community!

While this won't answer your question about the Kafka connector, I do want to mention that Atlassian is working on a Data Lake for the Premium and Enterprise cloud plans. Sign-ups are currently closed, but the details are on Introducing Atlassian Data Lake for Jira Software - Early Access [CURRENTLY CLOSED FOR SIGN-UPS] .

Again this doesn't help answer your question with the Kafka connector, but I did want to mention this is coming in the future. Hopefully this information can help you plan your longer-term strategies if you're working on importing data into a BI tool.

Cheers,
Daniel

Hi @Daniel Eads!

Thanks for the answer, but you're right - it won't help me right now(
But I'll come back to the data lake in the future, thanks for the idea!
