Golden Gate with Kafka Connect Adapter Checkpoint Files
Hello World,
I'm running a Golden Gate installation with:
- OGG for Oracle 19.1.0.0.4
- OGG for Big Data 19.1.0.0.5
- Confluent Kafka 6.0
Golden Gate extracts transactions from the Oracle Database with an Integrated Extract.
The transactions are loaded into Kafka Topics by a Replicat with Kafka Connect Handler.
In this configuration I cannot have a Checkpoint table and all checkpoints are written to the .cpr and .cpj files.
So the Checkpoint files become a de facto single point of failure. If the files become corrupted due to a very unlucky process crash, bug or infrastructure failure, it will be very hard to recover from the incident without at least a couple of records missing or duplicated.
