Technical details and manufacturing context for Connector Manager

Definition
The Connector Manager is a core software component of the Ingestion Engine responsible for establishing, maintaining, and managing connections to various external data sources. It handles authentication, protocol negotiation, connection pooling, and lifecycle management for data connectors, ensuring reliable and efficient data flow into the ingestion pipeline.
Working Principle
The Connector Manager operates by loading specific connector plugins or drivers configured for target data sources (e.g., databases, APIs, message queues). It initializes connections based on provided credentials and endpoint configurations, manages connection states (idle, active, error), implements retry logic for failed connections, and provides a unified interface for the Ingestion Engine to request data streams without handling low-level communication details.
