Vertica Eon Mode and Kafka

You can use the Vertica integration with Apache Kafka when Vertica is running in Eon Mode. For Eon Mode running in a cloud environment, consider using a larger frame duration for schedulers in clusters. Cloud infrastructures lead to larger latencies overall, especially when storage layers are separated from compute layers. If you do not account for the added latency, you can experience a lower data throughput, as more of the frame's time is lost to overhead caused by the cloud environment. Using a longer frame length can also help prevent Vertica from creating many small ROS containers when loading data from Kafka. The trade off when you use a larger frame length is that your data load experiences more latency. See Choosing a frame duration for more information.
