the answer is yes for all your questions. Stream service, which is implemented as Kafka, is a must have for Pega infinity releases (8.1.x+).

Hi,

Yes,The new archietecture of pega infinity & later comes with kafka. Search depends on kafka.Stream node should be defined for that.If it is unavailable then you will get pega0101 alert in pegaalert logs.

Thank you @KevinZheng_GCS and @Abhinav7 for you replies. 

Where do we configure kafak for Infinity. Will it be in one of the config files? 

If so which one? 

Thanks and Regards
