title: Kafka connect or Kafka Client
body: <p>I need to fetch messages from Kafka topics and notify other systems via HTTP based APIs. That is, get message from topic, map to the 3rd party APIs and invoke them. I intend to write a Kafka Sink Connector for this.</p>
  
  <p>For this use case, is Kafka Connect the right choice or I should go with Kafka Client.</p>
