APACHE KAFKA
"uh oh, another Apache project?!"
None
KEEP CALM AND LOOK AT THE WEBSITE
None
"Basically it is a massively scalable pub/sub message queue. architected
as a distributed transaction log."
"so it's a queue?"
it's not a queue
queues are not multi-subscriber :(
"so it's a pubsub thing?"
it's not a pubsub thing
pubsub broadcasts to all subscribers :(
it's a log
None
not that kind of log
WAL
Write-Ahead Log
WRITE-AHEAD LOG
None
1 foo 2 bar 3 baz 4 hi
1 create document: "foo", data: "…" 2 update document: "foo",
data: "…" 3 create document: "bar", data: "…" 4 remove document: "foo"
None
never corrupts
sequential I/O
None
sequential I/O
every message will be read at least once, no random
access
FileChannel.transferTo (shovels data straight from e.g. disk cache to network
interface, no copying via RAM)
"HI, I AM KAFKA" "Buckle up while we process (m|b|tr)illions
of messages/s."
TOPICS
streams of records
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 …
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 … producer
writes consumer reads
can have many subscribers
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 … producer
writes consumerB reads consumerA reads
can be partitioned
P0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 … P1
1 2 3 4 … P2 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 … P3 1 2 3 4 5 6 …
partitions let you scale storage!
partitions let you scale consuming!
None
all records are retained, whether consumed or not, up to
a configurable limit
PRODUCERS
byte[]
(typically JSON, XML, Avro, Thrift, Protobufs)
(typically not funny GIFs)
can choose explicit partition, or a key (which is used
for auto-partitioning)
https://github.com/edenhill/librdkafka & https://arnaud-lb.github.io/php-rdkafka/
BASIC PRODUCER $rk = new RdKafka\Producer(); $rk->addBrokers("127.0.0.1"); $topic = $rk->newTopic("test");
$topic->produce(RD_KAFKA_PARTITION_UA, 0, "Unassigned partition, let Kafka choose"); $topic->produce(RD_KAFKA_PARTITION_UA, 0, "Yay consistent hashing", $user->getId()); $topic->produce(1, 0, "This will always be sent to partition 1");
CONSUMERS
cheap
only metadata stored per consumer: offset
guaranteed to always have messages in right order (within a
partition)
can themselves produce new messages!
None
BASIC CONSUMER $conf = new RdKafka\Conf(); $conf->set('group.id', 'myConsumerGroup'); $rk =
new RdKafka\Consumer($conf); $rk->addBrokers("127.0.0.1"); $topicConf = new RdKafka\TopicConf(); $topicConf->set('auto.commit.interval.ms', 100); $topic = $rk->newTopic("test", $topicConf); $topic->consumeStart(0, RD_KAFKA_OFFSET_STORED); while (true) { $msg = $topic->consume(0, 120*10000); do_something($msg); }
AT-MOST ONCE DELIVERY $conf = new RdKafka\Conf(); $conf->set('group.id', 'myConsumerGroup'); $rk
= new RdKafka\Consumer($conf); $rk->addBrokers("127.0.0.1"); $topicConf = new RdKafka\TopicConf(); $topicConf->set('auto.commit.enable', false); $topic = $rk->newTopic("test", $topicConf); $topic->consumeStart(0, RD_KAFKA_OFFSET_STORED); while (true) { $msg = $topic->consume(0, 120*10000); $topic->offsetStore($msg->partition, $msg->offset); do_something($msg); }
AT-LEAST ONCE DELIVERY $conf = new RdKafka\Conf(); $conf->set('group.id', 'myConsumerGroup'); $rk
= new RdKafka\Consumer($conf); $rk->addBrokers("127.0.0.1"); $topicConf = new RdKafka\TopicConf(); $topicConf->set('auto.commit.enable', false); $topic = $rk->newTopic("test", $topicConf); $topic->consumeStart(0, RD_KAFKA_OFFSET_STORED); while (true) { $msg = $topic->consume(0, 120*10000); do_something($msg); $topic->offsetStore($msg->partition, $msg->offset); }
EXACTLY-ONCE DELIVERY
you cannot have exactly-once delivery
THE BYZANTINE GENERALS "together we can beat the monsters. let's
both attack at 07:00?" "confirm, we attack at 07:00" ☠
USE CASES
• LinkedIn • Yahoo • Twitter • Netflix • Square
• Spotify • Pinterest • Uber • Goldman Sachs • Tumblr • PayPal • Airbnb • Mozilla • Cisco • Etsy • Foursquare • Shopify • CloudFlare
ingest Twitter firehose and turn it into a pointless demo
;)
None
messaging, of course
track user activity
record runtime metrics
IoT
replicate information between data centers
billing!
"shock absorber" between systems to avoid overload of DBs, APIs,
etc.
in PHP: mostly producing messages; better languages exist for consuming
