HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Streams Java Applications
This section contains information on developing client applications with Java including information about the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Streams and Apache Kafka Java APIs, configuration parameters, and compiling and running producers and consumers.
Apache Kafka Support
Core version | Apache Kafka API |
---|---|
7.8 and later | 3.6.1 |
7.0 through 7.7 | 2.6.1 |
6.2 and later | 2.1 |
6.1 and later | 1.1 |
6.0.1 and later | 1.0 |
6.0.0 and earlier | 0.9.0 |
Synchronous Consumer Partition Assignment
As of HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric 7.8,
synchronous consumer partition assignment is supported. For streams created with HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric 7.8 and later, this
feature is enabled by default. To disable this feature, set
streams.async.subscription.enabled=true
in
core-site.xml
. By default, this value is set to false
.
With this feature enabled, consumer assignment updates and the invocation of related
callbacks (in ConsumerRebalanceListener) occur synchronously
within the consumer.poll()
call in the user thread.
consumer.assignment()
does not update until you invoke consumer.poll()
.consumer.poll()
multiple times, or with
a long enough timeout for assignment to be completed. - Disable synchronous consumer partition assignment with
streams.async.subscription.enabled=true
incore-site.xml
. - Enable the application to begin polling without the new user assignment. You can use ConsumerRebalanceListener#onPartitionsAssigned() to notify of successful consumer partition assignment.
Log Compaction
As of HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric 6.1, log compaction is supported. Log compaction can be enabled for streams created with HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric core 6.1 and later. In addition, clients older than HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric 6.1 are prevented from consuming from streams that have had log compaction enabled on them at least once in their lifetime.
- If a replica cluster has been upgraded and the stream data for a source cluster is compacted (that is, one or more messages have been deleted), then the source cluster replicates the compacted data to the replica cluster.
- If a replica cluster has not been upgraded, then the source cluster fails the replication and an error is generated that requests an replica cluster upgrade.
In the context of a scan by a client that is not upgraded, the (upgraded) server inspects the row header to check if it is serving a compacted row. If it is serving a compacted row, then the server fails the consumer request. This behavior applies both to a stream that is explicitly configured for compaction and a replica that has received a compacted row.
-force
option can be used. The -force
option should only be used when ALL clients
have been upgraded to HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric 6.1.Idempotent Producer
props.put(ProducerConfig.ENABLE_IDEMPOTENCE_CONFIG, true)
The idempotent producer feature is supported by EEP HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric 6.0 clients and HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric 6.1.0 servers.
- You must upgrade all servers to v6.1.0 and enable all the v6.1.0 features, before you enable the idempotent producer.
- If you use a pre-HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric 6.1 client and a HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric 6.1 server, and if a group of messages are atomically persisted without a valid producer ID, the server treats the request as a non-idempotent producer.
- If you use a HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric 6.1 client and a pre-HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric 6.1 server, the idempotent producer is not supported. In
this case, the idempotent producer fails to produce to the stream and the following
exception is
thrown:
Exception in thread "main" java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: org.apache.kafka.common.errors.UnknownTopicOrPartitionException: Operation not permitted (1) null at com.mapr.streams.impl.producer.MarlinFuture.valueOrError(MarlinFuture.java:46) at com.mapr.streams.impl.producer.MarlinFuture.get(MarlinFuture.java:41) at com.mapr.streams.impl.producer.MarlinFuture.get(MarlinFuture.java:17) at com.mapr.qa.marlin.common.StandaloneProducer.main(StandaloneProducer.java:75) Caused by: org.apache.kafka.common.errors.UnknownTopicOrPartitionException: Operation not permitted (1) null
TimestampType Permissions
The following discussion describes the Access Control Expression (ACE) permissions that you need when using the timestamp type parameter. See Stream Security for general information about HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Streams streams security.
A HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Streams stream topic inherits the default timestamp type value from its stream. To override the stream's default value, set the timestamp type for the topic to a different value.
- Setting the value at the stream-level requires
adminperm
permissions. The stream-level timestamp type parameter isdefaulttimestamptype
. See stream create and stream edit for more information on setting this parameter using themaprcli
command. - Setting the
timestamptype
at the topic-level requirestopicperm
permissions. The topic-level timestamp type parameter istimestamptype
. See stream topic create and stream topic edit for more information on setting this parameter using themaprcli
command.
User Impersonation
As of HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric 6.0, user impersonation is supported for HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Streams.
You can set up user impersonation programmatically. To do so, use the
UserGroupInformation.doAs()
method in the Hadoop documentation. See Class UserGroupInformation for more information.
If you are setting up user impersonation in a secure cluster, you need to generate an impersonation ticket. See the Generating and Printing Service with Impersonation Ticket section in the maprlogin Command Examples topic.
- Ensure that user
mapruser1
has read permissions on the ticket. - If you moved the ticket file to a different location, set the
$MAPR_TICKETFILE_LOCATION
environment variable with the appropriate path.
Backward Compatibility
As of HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric 6.0.1,
along with the support of Apache Kafka, the java.util.Collection
interface
is being used. This impacts applications using certain APIs. See HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Streams Java API Library for detailed information.
