Open Connectors are connectors that support the Open Connector Framework (OCF) - see the open-connector-framework module.
This is the principle (preferred) mechanism for supporting pluggable components in the open metadata implementation. The OCF has additional uses in providing reusable/pluggable components for external technology - particularly related to data access.
The open connectors are grouped as follows:
-
configuration-store-connectors contains the connectors that manage the open metadata configuration.
-
data-store-connectors contains OCF connectors to data stores on different data platforms.
-
discovery-service-connectors implementations of open discovery services from the Open Discovery Framework (ODF).
-
dynamic-archiver-connectors implementations of archive services that run in the Repository Governance OMES.
-
event-bus-connectors supports different event/messaging infrastructures. They can be plugged into the topic connectors from the access-service-connectors and repository-service-connectors.
-
governance-action-connectors contains governance action services for assessing and acting on governance issues detected in the metadata ecosystem. These connectors support the Governance Action Framework (GAF).
-
governance-daemon-connectors contains connectors for the governance servers that monitor activity or synchronize metadata and configuration asynchronously between different tools.
-
integration-connectors contains governance actions for assessing and acting on governance issues detected in the metadata ecosystem.
-
repository-services-connectors contains connector implementations for each type of connector supported by the Open Metadata Repository Services (OMRS). These connectors enable the OMRS to be adapted to many different platforms.
-
rest-client-connectors provides a connector to call a REST API from Java.
In addition there is the connector-configuration-factory that creates Connection objects to configure these connectors.
