This section describes inserting a message into Kafka using a particular key and value.

To create a new server:

  1. Select the EDMM and expand Hosts, Servers, Tables node.

  2. Select DBMS servers > New Server.

    The Server Properties dialog box opens.

  3. Enter the required information:
    Parameter Value
    Name ConfluentCloud
    DBMS type: Kafka
    Message format: Schema Registry {Avro}
  4. Select Distribution Key for the Partition.
    Important: The Enable Kafka Tombstone records box is only enabled if Partition is Distribution Key and Message format: is Schema Registry (Avro).


    If Partition is Round Robin or Table name and Message format: is Schema Registry (Avro), the Enable Kafka tombstone records option will be unchecked and disabled.



  5. Click OK or Apply.

    The Server Properties dialog closes.

  6. From the Director, select a table in the Distributions node to create two schemas:
    • one schema for the key
    • one schema for the value

The records are created in a source table and replicated to Kafka. When you delete a record and Kafka topics are tightly packed together, the Tombstone records and related keys are suppressed.
