Systems and methods are described for passing event messages between components of a computing cluster. An example method includes identifying, by an event sender, a receiving component to receive a record, determining, by a processing device, whether the receiving component is a protocol aware component, and upon determining that the receiving component is the protocol aware component, sending the record to the receiving component using a first protocol. Sending the record to the receiving component using the first protocol bypasses a dispatch service of the event sender.

Communication protocol for a distributed event streaming platform

Systems and methods are described for passing event messages between components of a computing cluster. An example method includes obtaining, at an event sender, a record that contains an event, wherein the event sender is a data storage component of an event streaming platform. The method also includes identifying a receiving component that is designated as a receiver for the record, and determining, by a processing device, whether the receiving component is a native protocol aware component, wherein the native protocol is native to the event streaming platform. Upon determining that the receiving component is a native protocol aware component, the record is sent to the receiving component using the native protocol. Upon determining that the receiving component is not a native protocol aware component, the record is sent to the receiving component using Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP).
