<p>Pulsar bundles several <a href="/docs/en/2.2.1/io-overview#working-with-connectors">builtin connectors</a> that should be used for moving data in and out
of commonly used systems such as databases, messaging systems. Getting set up to use these builtin connectors is simple. You can follow
the <a href="/docs/en/2.2.1/getting-started-standalone#installing-builtin-connectors">instructions</a> on installing builtin connectors. After setup, all
the builtin connectors will be automatically discovered by Pulsar brokers (or function-workers), so no additional installation steps are
required.</p>

<p>Configuring Pulsar IO connectors is straightforward. What you need to do is to provide a yaml configuration file when your <a href="#running-connectors">run connectors</a>.
The yaml configuration file basically tells Pulsar where to locate the sources and sinks and how to connect those sources and sinks with Pulsar topics.</p>
<p>Below is an example yaml configuration file for Cassandra Sink:</p>
<pre><code class="hljs css language-shell">tenant: public
namespace: default
name: cassandra-test-sink
...
<span class="hljs-meta">#</span><span class="bash"> cassandra specific config</span>
configs:
    roots: "localhost:9042"
    keyspace: "pulsar_test_keyspace"
    columnFamily: "pulsar_test_table"
    keyname: "key"
    columnName: "col"
</code></pre>
<p>The example yaml basically tells Pulsar which Cassandra cluster to connect, what is the <code>keyspace</code> and <code>columnFamily</code> to be used in Cassandra for collecting data,
and how to map a Pulsar message into Cassandra table key and columns.</p>
<p>For details, consult the documentation for <a href="/docs/en/2.2.1/io-overview#working-with-connectors">individual connectors</a>.</p>

<p>You can submit a source to be run in an existing Pulsar cluster using a command of this form:</p>
<pre><code class="hljs css language-bash">$ ./bin/pulsar-admin <span class="hljs-built_in">source</span> create --classname  &lt;classname&gt; --archive &lt;jar-location&gt; --tenant &lt;tenant&gt; --namespace &lt;namespace&gt; --name &lt;<span class="hljs-built_in">source</span>-name&gt; --destination-topic-name &lt;output-topic&gt;
</code></pre>
<p>Here’s an example command:</p>
<pre><code class="hljs css language-bash">bin/pulsar-admin <span class="hljs-built_in">source</span> create --classname org.apache.pulsar.io.twitter.TwitterFireHose --archive ~/application.jar --tenant <span class="hljs-built_in">test</span> --namespace ns1 --name twitter-source --destination-topic-name twitter_data
</code></pre>
<p>Instead of submitting a source to run on an existing Pulsar cluster, you alternatively can run a source as a process on your local machine:</p>
<pre><code class="hljs css language-bash">bin/pulsar-admin <span class="hljs-built_in">source</span> localrun --classname  org.apache.pulsar.io.twitter.TwitterFireHose --archive ~/application.jar --tenant <span class="hljs-built_in">test</span> --namespace ns1 --name twitter-source --destination-topic-name twitter_data
</code></pre>
<p>If you are submitting a built-in source, you don't need to specify <code>--classname</code> and <code>--archive</code>.
You can simply specify the source type <code>--source-type</code>. The command to submit a built-in source is
in following form:</p>
<pre><code class="hljs css language-bash">./bin/pulsar-admin <span class="hljs-built_in">source</span> create \
    --tenant &lt;tenant&gt; \
    --namespace &lt;namespace&gt; \

    --destination-topic-name &lt;input-topics&gt; \
    --<span class="hljs-built_in">source</span>-type &lt;<span class="hljs-built_in">source</span>-type&gt;
</code></pre>
<p>Here's an example to submit a Kafka source:</p>
<pre><code class="hljs css language-bash">./bin/pulsar-admin <span class="hljs-built_in">source</span> create \
    --tenant <span class="hljs-built_in">test</span>-tenant \
