kafka offset commit

2016-06-06 Thread Raja . Aravapalli
Hi

Can someone please help me understand, where will the offsets be stored when 
consuming with “KafkaSinglePortStringInputOperator”  ?

And, how to handle restarts ?


I worked with Storm earlier, Storm maintains the offsets in zookeeper and 
client id is maintained for every consumer, using which

- we can see what is the current offset status for a given partition & modify 
them as well using zookeeper-cli !!
- restarts can be handled


As per the Apex documentation, I can see, that using OffsetManager we can 
handle the restarts effectively, but couldn’t find any examples to refer…

How clientId can be used to retrieve offsets status
And ability to edit the offsets etc

can someone pls help me find this ?


Thanks a lot!!


-Regards,
Raja.

Hi Raja,

Which Kafka version are you using?

With the new 0.9 connector there is no need for the offset manager:

Re: kafka offset commit

Hey Raja,

For 0.8, you have to implement OffsetManager interface on your own. The
updateOffsets will be called in application master every time when it get
updated offsets from each physical partition. And the offsets that you see
in the method is committed offset. So you can safely save these offsets
into either zookeeper(0.8.2 client has API to do that) or any other
datastore like DB or HDFS.  And also you have to implement the method
loadInitialOffsets to load back offset you want.

You are welcome to contribute a default implementation using buildin kafka
offset commit request API for OffsetManager!

Siyuan

Thanks Siyuan.

So, to confirm, to apex is not storing offsets status at any location ? Like 
how Storm stores in Zookeeper ?

Re: kafka offset commit

2016-06-06 Thread hsy...@gmail.com
Raja,

Not exactly, Apex actually stores offsets as part of the operator state,
And state of the operator are checkpointed internally and periodically( in
HDFS by default). For more details, you can read this
https://www.datatorrent.com/blog/blog-introduction-to-checkpoint/

With that said, offsets are stored in HDFS along with other state of the
operator so that it can recover in case of any system failure.
And also in Apex, you can do stateful restart (start the application by
specifying the previous application id). It will initialize all operators
and load the checkpointed state (offsets will be part of it) from HDFS and
continue run from that state.  The only limit is, you can not easy tell
where the current offsets are.  Hope this answered your question.

Siyuan

Thanks a lot Siyuan. It helped me understand better!!


So, can you pls confirm, if I implement the offsetManager interface, it will be 
used to load initial starting position and update the offset status[at some 
interval] ?

Will the application latency greatly decreases if I use HDFS for storage ?

Thank you very much.

Raja.

Hi Raja,

Yes, I think if you implement the interface and set it as input operator
property It should serve the purpose.

I don't think it would be a bottle neck since It is just a list data
structure of numbers and it only update every checkpoint interval.

Re: kafka offset commit

2016-06-06 Thread Devendra Tagare
Hi,

I had started work on an offset manager for kafka 0.8x sometime back which
got left mid-way.This implementation was using kafka topics to store
offsets (similar to 0.9 implementation)

https://github.com/apache/apex-malhar/pull/156

If the community is using it, I can incorporate the comments and make it
Malhar ready.

Thanks,
Dev
