<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.camel.kafkaconnector</groupId>
  <artifactId>camel-zookeeper-kafka-connector</artifactId>
  <version>x.x.x</version>
  <!-- use the same version as your Camel Kafka connector version -->
</dependency>

|===
| Name | Description | Default | Required | Priority
| *camel.source.path.serverUrls* | The zookeeper server hosts (multiple servers can be separated by comma) | null | true | HIGH
| *camel.source.path.path* | The node in the ZooKeeper server (aka znode) | null | true | HIGH
| *camel.source.endpoint.listChildren* | Whether the children of the node should be listed | false | false | MEDIUM
| *camel.source.endpoint.timeout* | The time interval to wait on connection before timing out. | 5000 | false | MEDIUM
| *camel.source.endpoint.backoff* | The time interval to backoff for after an error before retrying. | 5000L | false | MEDIUM
| *camel.source.endpoint.bridgeErrorHandler* | Allows for bridging the consumer to the Camel routing Error Handler, which mean any exceptions occurred while the consumer is trying to pickup incoming messages, or the likes, will now be processed as a message and handled by the routing Error Handler. By default the consumer will use the org.apache.camel.spi.ExceptionHandler to deal with exceptions, that will be logged at WARN or ERROR level and ignored. | false | false | MEDIUM
| *camel.source.endpoint.repeat* | Should changes to the znode be 'watched' and repeatedly processed. | false | false | MEDIUM
| *camel.source.endpoint.sendEmptyMessageOnDelete* | Upon the delete of a znode, should an empty message be send to the consumer | true | false | MEDIUM
| *camel.source.endpoint.exceptionHandler* | To let the consumer use a custom ExceptionHandler. Notice if the option bridgeErrorHandler is enabled then this option is not in use. By default the consumer will deal with exceptions, that will be logged at WARN or ERROR level and ignored. | null | false | MEDIUM
| *camel.source.endpoint.exchangePattern* | Sets the exchange pattern when the consumer creates an exchange. One of: [InOnly] [InOut] [InOptionalOut] | null | false | MEDIUM
| *camel.source.endpoint.synchronous* | Sets whether synchronous processing should be strictly used, or Camel is allowed to use asynchronous processing (if supported). | false | false | MEDIUM
| *camel.component.zookeeper.listChildren* | Whether the children of the node should be listed | false | false | MEDIUM
| *camel.component.zookeeper.timeout* | The time interval to wait on connection before timing out. | 5000 | false | MEDIUM
| *camel.component.zookeeper.backoff* | The time interval to backoff for after an error before retrying. | 5000L | false | MEDIUM
| *camel.component.zookeeper.bridgeErrorHandler* | Allows for bridging the consumer to the Camel routing Error Handler, which mean any exceptions occurred while the consumer is trying to pickup incoming messages, or the likes, will now be processed as a message and handled by the routing Error Handler. By default the consumer will use the org.apache.camel.spi.ExceptionHandler to deal with exceptions, that will be logged at WARN or ERROR level and ignored. | false | false | MEDIUM

| *camel.component.zookeeper.sendEmptyMessageOnDelete* | Upon the delete of a znode, should an empty message be send to the consumer | true | false | MEDIUM
| *camel.component.zookeeper.autowiredEnabled* | Whether autowiring is enabled. This is used for automatic autowiring options (the option must be marked as autowired) by looking up in the registry to find if there is a single instance of matching type, which then gets configured on the component. This can be used for automatic configuring JDBC data sources, JMS connection factories, AWS Clients, etc. | true | false | MEDIUM
| *camel.component.zookeeper.configuration* | To use a shared ZooKeeperConfiguration | null | false | MEDIUM
