-> You can use List+Fetch File/SFTP processors to get the file from your local.

-> Then use Record oriented Kafka processors i.e PublishKafkaRecord* processor to read your incoming txt file
- Configure CSVReader controller service and give the matching AVRO schema.

- Configure Record Writer as AvroRecordSetWriter.

-> Now PublishKafkaRecord* processor reads the text file and writes the data in avro format to Kafka topic.

Flow:

1.ListFile (or) ListSFTP..etc
2.FetchFile (or) FetchSFTP..etc
3.PublishKafkaRecord*
