Pass Pulsar Connector settings directly to the DataStax Java driver

The following table identifies functionally equivalent DataStax Apache Pulsar Connector and DataStax Java driver settings.

For information about the Java properties, refer to the DataStax Java driver documentation. For information about the Pulsar Connector settings, refer to DataStax connection.

There is a difference between the Pulsar Connector’s contactPoints setting and the Java driver’s datastax-java-driver.basic.contact-points. For contactPoints, the value of the port is appended to every host provided by this setting. For datastax-java-driver.basic.contact-points, you must provide the fully qualified contact points (host:port).

By passing in the Java driver’s setting, this option gives you more configuration flexibility because you can specify a different port for each host. Example:

The following properties that are of type List, which you could pass into the driver from your Pulsar Connector configuration via the datastax-java-driver prefix, are converted by the DataStax Java driver to the TypeSafe Config format.

The conversion by the Java driver will split the comma-separated values provided in those setting to create indexed properties. For example, if you passed in datastax-java-driver.advanced.metrics.session.enabled=a,b, the entry is converted to:
