Apache Bahir provides streaming connectors and SQL data sources for Apache Spark and Apache Flink in a centralized location. It contains connectors for ActiveMQ, Akka, Flume, InfluxDB, Kudu, Netty, Redis, CouchDB, Cloudant, MQTT, and Twitter. Bahir is an important project because it enables reuse of extensions and saves time and money compared to recreating connectors. Though small, it covers multiple Spark and Flink extensions with the potential for future extensions. The project is currently active with regular updates to the GitHub repository and comprehensive documentation for its connectors.
