How to manipulate Kafka streams from Memgraph mgconsole?

How can I manipulate Kafka streams from mgconsole? By manipulation I mean to start/pause/stop/delete them.

Solution

  • When working with streams I think that the most important command is SHOW STREAMS;. With this command you will find out the name of the streams that you have. You will need a stream name to reference it when you want to stop or start it.

    Commands for that are:

    • starting the stream: START STREAM streamName;
    • stopping the stream: STOP STREAM streamName;
    • deleting the stream: DROP STREAM streamName;

    I don't think that there is a special command for pausing a stream.
