The only other beast of similar nature that appears occasionally I can think of, is Onyx. Which seems pretty cool.

Anyway,Kafka Connect will provide what probably most people are looking for in Samza.

That observation is correct. Currently, people misuse stream processing systems like Storm and Samza for data import/export. This is an overkill. Kafka Connect is focused on providing scalable and operational connectors to various systems using Kafka as the underlying transport mechanism.

We have built a fairly robust system along the idea of Kafka Connect and it's open sourced at https://github.com/flipkart/aesop. Currently, it supports MySQL & Hbase as sources and MySQL, Hbase, ES, Kafka as destination.

Haha, funny you mention Onyx! We pipe data from kafka into storm :) Great combo!
