Kafka plugin can be build as a regular ‘in-tree’ plugin. That means that is required to clone a Gerrit source tree first and then to have the Kafka plugin source directory into the /plugins path. Additionally, the plugins/external_plugin_deps.bzl file needs to be updated to match the Kafka plugin one.
git clone --recursive https://gerrit.googlesource.com/gerrit git clone https://gerrit.googlesource.com/plugins/kafka-events gerrit/plugins/kafka-events cd gerrit rm plugins/external_plugin_deps.bzl ln -s ./kafka-events/external_plugin_deps.bzl plugins/.
To build the kafka-events plugins, issue the command from the Gerrit source path:
bazel build plugins/kafka-events
The output is created in
bazel-genfiles/plugins/kafka-events/kafka-events.jar
Assuming a running Kafka broker on the same Gerrit host, add the following settings to gerrit.config:
[plugin "kafka-events"] bootstrapServers = localhost:9092
