Not sure where @ottobackwards landed on this. Besides the open TODO comment, I am not sure how much testing we did around the Profiler or testing changes made to the new configuration elements that you added. I didn't see a test plan around much of this besides spinning up Full Dev, which doesn't exercise the Profiler. I guess its just a community courtesy that we've followed, no matter how long its open.

[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/METRON-1594?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel=16503770#comment-16503770 ] ASF GitHub Bot commented on METRON-1594: Github user mmiklavc commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/metron/pull/1045 Went through a few variations of testing enrichments using the new KafkaWriter bulk message writer implementation with @anandsubbu and we are seeing results close to the numbers we see in master and prior versions. There is ever slight degradation (went from I believe 36k EPS in our setup for 1 enrichment to 33k EPS), however we are no longer at risk of dropping data. For posterity purposes, the new implementation can be summarized as follows: - kafka producer has a number of settings for batching available via Kafka's client ProducerConfigs class. We are not manipulating these properties directly via the exposed config because we want to control batching in order to have the ability to have guarantees with Storm's acking mechanism. - The [BulkWriterComponent](https://github.com/apache/metron/blob/master/metron-platform/metron-writer/src/main/java/org/apache/metron/writer/BulkWriterComponent.java) class manages batching in terms of number of records and timeout. It's important to note that the KafkaProducer batches in terms of size in bytes whereas the writer component manages batches in terms or number of records, regardless of size. Previously, KafkaWriter was processing messages 1-by-1, asynchronously, and leveraging the KafkaProducer defaults. KafkaWriter now is a proper BulkMessageWriter that can handle sending multiple messages to Kafka by processing the Futures returned by the `public java.util.concurrent.Future send(ProducerRecord record)` method. We call `flush()` to ensure all Futures have been processed before returning their status back to the calling class. - We tweaked the default slightly under the hood for the Kafka Producer batch size - it was originally 16KB and our performance tests found the setting to be optimal around 64KB. This has been set as a default constant in the writer as we want users to leverage the batchSize and batchTimeout settings exposed via the standard Metron configuration. - It is possible, though not advised, to override the KafkaProducer batch.size and batch.timeout settings by adding the property to the Kafka producer config map in Flux or via parser properties. This should only be done as a matter of optimizing the Kafka batching caches as the producer will always allocate 64KB regardless of being full or not. The settings exposed in Metron for batchSize and batchTimeout should be sufficient, and again, our performance tests suggest that the defaults should be sufficient. As usual, adjusting spout timeouts and spout and bolt parallelism will provide the necessary scaling knobs and levers. > KafkaWriter is asynchronous and may lose data on node failure > - > > Key: METRON-1594 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/METRON-1594 > Project: Metron > Issue Type: Bug >Reporter: Michael Miklavcic >Assignee: Michael Miklavcic >Priority: Major > > Currently, we do not block for data to be sent from kafka writer and we do > not batch.

The more I think about it, this is very likely what is happening in the current code base when topologies just won't die. The queue builds a giant backlog, then it will block forever trying to clear the queue. But with these code changes, we should not carry any messages in the internal Kafka producer queue between calls to `KafkaWriter.write`.

[jira] [Commented] (METRON-1594) KafkaWriter is asynchronous and may lose data on node failure
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/METRON-1594?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel=16497166#comment-16497166 ] ASF GitHub Bot commented on METRON-1594: GitHub user mmiklavc opened a pull request: https://github.com/apache/metron/pull/1045 METRON-1594: KafkaWriter is asynchronous and may lose data on node failure ## Contributor Comments https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/METRON-1594 This covers the work to convert the KafkaWriter from a basic MessageWriter to a BulkMessageWriter in order to address making producer.send() synchronous. This impacts: parsers, enrichment, indexing (error topic output), and profiler. Anything previously using the KafkaWriter as a single-record MessageWriter has been converted over to using it as a BulkMessageWriter. Other: - ParserBolt was lacking Tick Tuples so I've ported over the functionality almost verbatim from the BulkMessageWriterBolt. - BulkMessageWriterBolt has been generalized. Previously, it was extending ConfiguredIndexingBolt in both enrichments and indexing. - Configuring batchSize and batchTimeout for the BulkWriterComponent that wraps BulkMessageWriter(s): - parsers stays the same, default updated to 15 (unless/until perf testing suggests a different default more suitable) - enrichment - pulls from global config: `enrichment.writer.batchSize` and `enrichment.writer.batchTimeout` - indexing - stays the same except for the error output to kafka topic, which has been set to batch size 15 by default - profiler - Added a ProfilerWriterConfiguration to match the pattern used by other writers. Pulls from global config: `profiler.writer.batchSize` and `profiler.writer.batchTimeout` Tested in full dev and data flows into the ES indexes. Currently undergoing performance testing to establish a proper baseline batch size that does not result in performance regressions. ## Pull Request Checklist Thank you for submitting a contribution to Apache Metron.
