Why Do We Need Streaming ETL?

(This is an expanded version of the intro to an article I posted over on the Confluent blog. Here I get to be as verbose as I like ;)) My first job from university was building a datawarehouse for a retailer in the UK. Back then, it was writing COBOL jobs to load tables in DB2. We waited for all the shops to close and do their end of day system processing, and send their data back to the central mainframe.

Installing Oracle GoldenGate for Big Data 12.3.1 with Kafka Connect and Confluent Platform

Some notes that I made on installing and configuring Oracle GoldenGate with Confluent Platform. Excuse the brevity, but hopefully useful to share! I used the Oracle Developer Days VM for this - it’s preinstalled with Oracle 12cR2. Big Data Lite is nice but currently has an older version of GoldenGate. Login to the VM (oracle/oracle) and then install some useful things: sudo rpm -Uvh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm sudo yum install -y screen htop collectl rlwrap p7zip unzip sysstat perf iotop sudo su - cd /etc/yum.
