Kafka Streams Examples

This project contains code examples that demonstrate how to implement real-time applications and event-driven microservices using the Streams API of Apache Kafka aka Kafka Streams.

For more information take a look at the latest Confluent documentation on the Kafka Streams API, notably the Developer Guide.

Available examples

This repository has several branches to help you find the correct code examples for the version of Apache Kafka and/or Confluent Platform that you are using. See Version Compatibility Matrix below for details.

There are two kinds of examples:

  • Examples under src/main/: These examples are short and concise. Also, you can interactively test-drive these examples, e.g. against a local Kafka cluster. If you want to actually run these examples, then you must first install and run Apache Kafka and friends, which we describe in section Packaging and running the examples. Each example also states its exact requirements and instructions at the very top.
  • Examples under src/test/: These examples are a bit longer because they implement integration tests that demonstrate end-to-end data pipelines. Here, we use a testing framework to automatically spawn embedded Kafka clusters, feed input data to them (using the standard Kafka producer client), process the data using Kafka Streams, and finally read and verify the output results (using the standard Kafka consumer client). These examples are also a good starting point to learn how to implement your own end-to-end integration tests.

Integration Tests

We also provide several integration tests, which demonstrate end-to-end data pipelines. Here, we spawn embedded Kafka clusters and the Confluent Schema Registry, feed input data to them (using the standard Kafka producer client), process the data using Kafka Streams, and finally read and verify the output results (using the standard Kafka consumer client).

Tip: Run mvn test to launch the integration tests.

Requirements

Apache Kafka

The code in this repository requires Apache Kafka 0.10+ because from this point onwards Kafka includes its Kafka Streams library. See Version Compatibility Matrix for further details, as different branches of this repository may have different Kafka requirements.

For the master branch: To build a development version, you typically need the latest trunk version of Apache Kafka (cf. kafka.version in pom.xml for details). The following instructions will build and locally install the latest trunk Kafka version:

$ git clone git@github.com:apache/kafka.git
$ cd kafka
$ git checkout trunk

# Bootstrap gradle wrapper
$ gradle

# Now build and install Kafka locally
$ ./gradlew clean installAll

Confluent Platform

The code in this repository requires Confluent Schema Registry. And to build Confluent Schema Registry in its development version, further dependencies of Confluent Platform are needed (e.g. Confluent Common and Confluent Rest Utils, please read its own README file for details). See Version Compatibility Matrix for further details, as different branches of this repository may have different Confluent Platform requirements.

For the master branch: To build a development version, you typically need the latest master version of Confluent Platform's Schema Registry (cf. confluent.version in pom.xml for details). The following instructions will build and locally install the latest master Schema Registry version:

$ git clone https://github.com/confluentinc/common.git
$ cd common
$ git checkout master

# Build and install common locally
$ mvn -DskipTests=true clean install

$ git clone https://github.com/confluentinc/rest-utils.git
$ cd rest-utils
$ git checkout master

# Build and install rest-utils locally
$ mvn -DskipTests=true clean install

$ git clone https://github.com/confluentinc/schema-registry.git
$ cd schema-registry
$ git checkout master

# Now build and install schema-registry locally
$ mvn -DskipTests=true clean install

Also, each example states its exact requirements at the very top.

Using IntelliJ or Eclipse

If you are using an IDE and import the project you might end up with a "missing import / class not found" error. Some Avro classes are generated from schema files and the IDE does not generete those classes automatically. You can run mvn -Dskip.tests=true compile manually (c.f. the steps above) to resolve the error. If you are using Eclipse, you can also right-click on pom.xml file and choose Run As -> Maven generate-sources.

Java 8+

Some code examples require Java 8+, primarily because of the usage of lambda expressions.

IntelliJ IDEA users:

  • Open File > Project structure
  • Select "Project" on the left.
    • Set "Project SDK" to Java 1.8.
    • Set "Project language level" to "8 - Lambdas, type annotations, etc."

Scala

Scala is required only for the Scala examples in this repository. If you are a Java developer you can safely ignore this section.

If you want to experiment with the Scala examples in this repository, you need a version of Scala that supports Java 8 and SAM / Java lambda (e.g. Scala 2.11 with -Xexperimental compiler flag, or 2.12).

If you are compiling with Java 9+, you'll need to have Scala version 2.12+ to be compatible with the Java version.

Packaging and running the examples

Tip: If you only want to run the integration tests (mvn test), then you do not need to package or install anything -- just run mvn test. The instructions below are only needed if you want to interactively test-drive the examples under src/main/.

The first step is to install and run a Kafka cluster, which must consist of at least one Kafka broker as well as at least one ZooKeeper instance. Some examples may also require a running instance of Confluent schema registry. The Confluent Platform Quickstart guide provides the full details.

In a nutshell:

# Start ZooKeeper
$ ./bin/zookeeper-server-start ./etc/kafka/zookeeper.properties

# In a separate terminal, start Kafka broker
$ ./bin/kafka-server-start ./etc/kafka/server.properties

# In a separate terminal, start Confluent schema registry
$ ./bin/schema-registry-start ./etc/schema-registry/schema-registry.properties

# Again, please refer to the Confluent Platform Quickstart for details such as
# how to download Confluent Platform, how to stop the above three services, etc.

Tip: You can also run mvn test, which executes the included integration tests. These tests spawn embedded Kafka clusters to showcase the Kafka Streams functionality end-to-end. The benefit of the integration tests is that you don't need to install and run a Kafka cluster yourself.

If you want to run the examples against a Kafka cluster, you may want to create a standalone jar ("fat jar") of the Kafka Streams examples via:

# Create a standalone jar
#
# Tip: You can also disable the test suite (e.g. to speed up the packaging
#      or to lower JVM memory usage) if needed:
#
#     $ mvn -DskipTests=true clean package
#
$ mvn clean package

# >>> Creates target/kafka-streams-examples-5.0.0-SNAPSHOT-standalone.jar

You can now run the example applications as follows:

# Run an example application from the standalone jar.
# Here: `WordCountLambdaExample`
$ java -cp target/kafka-streams-examples-5.0.0-SNAPSHOT-standalone.jar \
  io.confluent.examples.streams.WordCountLambdaExample

The application will try to read from the specified input topic (in the above example it is TextLinesTopic), execute the processing logic, and then try to write back to the specified output topic (in the above example it is WordsWithCountsTopic). In order to observe the expected output stream, you will need to start a console producer to send messages into the input topic and start a console consumer to continuously read from the output topic. More details in how to run the examples can be found in the java docs of each example code.

If you want to turn on log4j while running your example application, you can edit the log4j.properties file and then execute as follows:

# Run an example application from the standalone jar.
# Here: `WordCountLambdaExample`
$ java -cp target/kafka-streams-examples-5.0.0-SNAPSHOT-standalone.jar \
  -Dlog4j.configuration=file:src/main/resources/log4j.properties \
  io.confluent.examples.streams.WordCountLambdaExample

Keep in mind that the machine on which you run the command above must have access to the Kafka/ZK clusters you configured in the code examples. By default, the code examples assume the Kafka cluster is accessible via localhost:9092 (aka Kafka's bootstrap.servers parameter) and the ZooKeeper ensemble via localhost:2181. You can override the default bootstrap.servers parameter through a command line argument.

Development

This project uses the standard maven lifecycle and commands such as:

$ mvn compile # This also generates Java classes from the Avro schemas
$ mvn test    # Runs unit and integration tests

Docker Examples

This example launches:

  • Confluent's Kafka Music demo application for the Kafka Streams API. This application demonstrates how to build of a simple music charts application. It uses Kafka's Interactive Queries feature to expose its latest processing results (e.g. latest Top 5 songs) via a REST API. Its input data is in Avro format, hence the use of Confluent Schema Registry (see below).
  • a single-node Apache Kafka cluster with a single-node ZooKeeper ensemble
  • a Confluent Schema Registry instance

The Kafka Music application demonstrates how to build of a simple music charts application that continuously computes, in real-time, the latest charts such as Top 5 songs per music genre. It exposes its latest processing results -- the latest charts -- via Kafka’s Interactive Queries feature and a REST API. The application's input data is in Avro format and comes from two sources: a stream of play events (think: "song X was played") and a stream of song metadata ("song X was written by artist Y").

More specifically, we will run the following services:

  • Confluent's Kafka Music demo application
  • a single-node Kafka cluster with a single-node ZooKeeper ensemble
  • Confluent Schema Registry
