[RFE][BBVA] - Extract data from plc to Kafka

Since we are having problems while PLC is not being able to write all the tasks executed in Symphony to Oracle database, we would like to have a plc connector to send all the information to a Kafka queue (or similar).

Our goal is to be able to use all the data generated by Plc in our BigData so we can make some analysis, but we have two problems:
1) The persisted tasks takes very long to be persisted in Database. This delay can be up to 20 hours for some tasks.
2) Some of the tasks are never persisted in DB because the performance is not good enough.

Having the information in a Kafka queue or similar will make us to have the information in near-realtime, so we can have a better analysis of the Grid behaviour.

Thank you very much in advance

    .Thank you for sharing the request of supporting Kafka. There is no immediate development plan to include Kafka support in Symphony. However please feel free to open new RFE request if Kafka is still required by your production cluster.

    Moving this to further investigate how this could be accomplished. It is a good feature and have added this to the roadmap backlog.
