Hi All, I am Brite Varghese working as a Senior Data Engineer in Optum Ireland. Currently I am using Kafka connect with near real time data which persist maprfs cluster as parquet format. I have good knowledge in mpar distribution and happy to help.  
I like Kafka connect tool which we are planning to use for near real time injection from Kafka cluster to mapr distribution.

I hope this forum will help me to clear my doubts related to Kafka connect.
