Hi, I have basic question about mce and mae Consumers. The documentation (datahub-helm repo) states that these components are optional. I read through docs and Slack history and I find that this information is misleading. Is it true that they are not at all optional? It appears that only optional thing is whether they are run standalone or within gms container. Is my understanding correct?

Hey @rhythmic-army-76816,
These components can run as part of GMS, in that case only GMS will consume the topics and there are no separate MCE and MAE pods (they are disabled).
Or
Datahub can run in the mode of standalone consumers, in that case
GMS, MAE and MCE runs as separate pods for better scalability.

Okay, that I do understand. But is there a feasible configuration were MCE and MAE do not run at all?

I mean if they are completely disabled, GMS do not get any changes from sources and cannot publish any changes that are made for example in GUI of datahub, right?

If they are disabled, GMS will do MAE's, MCE's work.
