Apache Kafka


Install Kafka:

  • Download tar file.
  • Extract it at location say /usr/local/kafka_2.11-0.8.2.2
  • Set variables in .bashrc

###Kafka
export KAFKA_HOME=/usr/local/kafka_2.11-0.8.2.2
export PATH=$PATH:$KAFKA_HOME/bin
###

With Kafka, we can create multiple types of clusters, such as the following:
  •  A single node—single broker cluster
  • A single node—multiple broker cluster
  • Multiple nodes—multiple broker clusters

A single node – a single broker cluster
·         
      Starting the ZooKeeper server:
>bin/zookeeper-server-start.sh config/zookeeper.properties

·         Starting the Kafka broker:
>bin/kafka-server-start.sh config/server.properties

·         Creating a Kafka topic:
>kafka-topics.sh --create --zookeeper localhost:2181 --replication-factor 1 --partitions 1 --topic kafkatopic

·         Get list of topics:
>kafka-topics.sh --list --zookeeper localhost:2181

·         Start console-based producer
>kafka-console-producer.sh --broker-list localhost:9092 --topic kafkatopic

type:
Welcome to Kafka DS
This is single node single broker cluster
Just started !! Jai Ganesh

·         Start command line consumer client
>kafka-console-consumer.sh --zookeeper localhost:2181 --topic kafkatopic --from-beginning

Output:
Welcome to Kafka DS
This is single node single broker cluster
Just started !! Jai Ganesh


A single node – multiple broker clusters
·         Starting the ZooKeeper server:
>bin/zookeeper-server-start.sh config/zookeeper.properties

·         Starting the Kafka broker:
For setting up multiple brokers on a single node, different server property files are required for each broker. Each property file will define unique, different values for the following properties: broker.id, port, log.dir

>bin/kafka-server-start.sh config/server-1.properties
>bin/kafka-server-start.sh config/server-2.properties

·         Creating a Kafka topic using the command line
>kafka-topics.sh --create --zookeeper localhost:2181 --replication-factor 2 --partitions 4 --topic replicated-kafkatopic

Note: - Replication factor should be in accordance with number of brokers. Else can cause below exception:
kafka.admin.AdminOperationException: replication factor: 3 larger than available brokers: 2
        at kafka.admin.AdminUtils$.assignReplicasToBrokers(AdminUtils.scala:70)
        at kafka.admin.AdminUtils$.createTopic(AdminUtils.scala:171)
        at kafka.admin.TopicCommand$.createTopic(TopicCommand.scala:93)
        at kafka.admin.TopicCommand$.main(TopicCommand.scala:55)
        at kafka.admin.TopicCommand.main(TopicCommand.scala)

·         Starting a producer to send messages
>kafka-console-producer.sh --broker-list localhost:9093, localhost:9094 --topic replicated-kafkatopic

If we have a requirement to run multiple producers connecting to different combinations of brokers, we need to specify the broker list for each producer as we did in the case of multiple brokers.

·         Starting a consumer to consume messages
>kafka-console-consumer.sh --zookeeper localhost:2181 --from-beginning --topic replicated-kafkatopic

Multiple node- multiple broker cluster

We should install Kafka on each node of the cluster, and all the brokers from the different nodes need to connect to the same ZooKeeper. Then follow the same step on every machine to start broker as followed above to start multiple broker on single machine.

Python [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: Missing Authority Key Identifier

  Error requests.exceptions.SSLError: HTTPSConnectionPool  Max retries exceeded with url:  (Caused by SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: Missing Authority Key Identifier (_ssl.c:1028)'))). Analysis & Solution Recently, we updated from Python 3.11 to 3.13, which resulted in error above. We did verify AKI = SKI in chain of certificates. Also, imported chain of certificates into certifi. Nothing worked for us. Seemingly, it is a bug with Python 3.13. So, we downgraded to Python 3.12 and it started working.

Spring MongoDB Rest API not returning response in 90 seconds which is leading to client timeout

  We have Spring Boot  Rest API deployed in Kubernetes cluster which integrates with MongoDB to fetch the data.  MongoDB is fed with data by a real time Spark & NiFi job.  Our clients complained that for a request what they send they don't have response within 90 seconds. Consider it like an OMS ( Order ManagEment System).  On further analysis, we found that Spark & NiFi processing is happenning within 10 seconds after consuming response data from Kafka. Thus, initally out thought was that it due to delay from upstream to produce data in to Kafka.  Thankfully, our data had create / request  timestamp, and when response was received, and when response was inserted into MongoDB. Subtracting response insert time from request time seemed to be well within 90 seconds. But, still client did timeout on not seeing a response within 90 seconds. This led to confusion on our side.  But, then we realized it was due to Read Preference . We updated this...

MongoDB Regex Query taking more time in Production but same query perform well in UAT

   We came across a situation where-in, MongoDB Query was taking more time in Production like 10 seconds and 4.2 seconds but same query performed well in UAT taking under 400 ms. The very first thought that was evident to us that it is because of amount of data which differed in UAT and Production. Then we ran following to see the execution plan -   db.collection.aggregate(<queries>).explain() This gave us Winning and Rejected Plans. Under which, we analyzed that although it was using 'IXSCAN.' But, it was incorrect index- as we had one compound index built on time field and other fields, and there was other index just on time field for TTL purposes. Winning plan picked TTL index rather than compound index. Thus, we dropped TTL index and built TTL index on a different time field.  That got our query performance time from 10 seconds to 726 ms. Also, for other query the performance came down from 8 seconds to 4.3 seconds. Then, we ran following -  ...

Spark MongoDB Connector Not leading to correct count or data while reading

  We are using Scala 2.11 , Spark 2.4 and Spark MongoDB Connector 2.4.4 Use Case 1 - We wanted to read a Shareded Mongo Collection and copy its data to another Mongo Collection. We noticed that after Spark Job successful completion. Output MongoDB did not had many records. Use Case 2 -  We read a MongoDB collection and doing count on dataframe lead to different count on each execution. Analysis,  We realized that MongoDB Spark Connector is missing data on bulk read as a dataframe. We tried various partitioner, listed on page -  https://www.mongodb.com/docs/spark-connector/v2.4/configuration/  But, none of them worked for us. Finally, we tried  MongoShardedPartitioner  this lead to constant count on each execution. But, it was greater than the actual count of records on the collection. This seems to be limitation with MongoDB Spark Connector. But,  MongoShardedPartitioner  seemed closest possible solution to this kind of situation. But, it per...
