# Query

Kubemq Query source provides rpc query subscriber for processing source queries.

## Prerequisites

The following are required to run query source connector:

* kubemq cluster
* kubemq-targets deployment

## Configuration

Query source connector configuration properties:

| Properties Key               | Required | Description                            | Example              |
| ---------------------------- | -------- | -------------------------------------- | -------------------- |
| address                      | yes      | kubemq server address (gRPC interface) | kubemq-cluster:50000 |
| client\_id                   | no       | set client id                          | "client\_id"         |
| auth\_token                  | no       | set authentication token               | jwt token            |
| channel                      | yes      | set channel to subscribe               |                      |
| group                        | no       | set subscriber group                   |                      |
| auto\_reconnect              | no       | set auto reconnect on lost connection  | "false", "true"      |
| reconnect\_interval\_seconds | no       | set reconnection seconds               | "5"                  |
| max\_reconnects              | no       | set how many time to reconnect         | "0"                  |

Example:

```yaml
bindings:
  - name: kubemq-query-elastic-search
    source:
      kind: kubemq.query
      name: kubemq-query
      properties:
        address: "kubemq-cluster:50000"
        client_id: "kubemq-query-elastic-search-connector"
        auth_token: ""
        channel: "query.elastic-search"
        group:   ""
        auto_reconnect: "true"
        reconnect_interval_seconds: "1"
        max_reconnects: "0"
    target:
      kind: stores.elastic-search
      name: target-elastic-search
      properties:
        urls: "http://localhost:9200"
