Can an external kerberized kafka cluster (non-HDP) pipe data into kerberized Storm present in HDP 2.2

[#1]

Storm can be kerberized in 2.2. Kafka cannot, it needs to be upgraded to 2.3

- Can an external kerberized kafka cluster (non-HDP) pipe data into kerberized Storm present in HDP 2.2

- Is there a workaround to Kerberizing Kafka in HDP 2.2?

Thanking in advance

No. HDP-2.2 storm's kafka spout doesn't support connecting kerberos kafka.

No way to kerberize Kafka in 2.2

If you are running storm-2.2 you should still be able to run a topology that uses storm-kafka connector's version from version 2.3 which should be able to read from a secure kafka cluster (HDP or not HDP).
