Re: Topic doesn't exist exception

2014-10-17 Thread Gwen Shapira
If I understand correctly (and I'll be happy if someone who knows more
will jump in and correct me):

The Sync/Async part is not between the producer and the broker. Its
between you and the producer. The Sync producer takes your message and
immediately contacts the broker, sends the message, either wait for
acks or not and returns. The Async producer takes your message and
immediately returns. The producer will send the message to the broker
at some time later, batching multiple requests for efficiency and
throughput.

So yeah, I think you got it mostly right. Just note that the producer
doesn't wait on .send, the producer executes the send - either
returning immediately (if async) or when it managed to contact the
broker (if sync).

Re: Topic doesn't exist exception

My understanding of sync is that producer waits on .send until Kafka
receives the message. And async means it just dispatches the message
without any gurantees that message is delivered. Did I get that part right?

Re: Topic doesn't exist exception

2014-10-17 Thread Gwen Shapira
Sorry if I'm confusing you :)

Kafka 0.8.1.1 has two producers sync and async. You are using the sync
producer without waiting for acks. I hope this helps?

Regardless, did you check if the partition got created? are you able
to produce messages? are you able to consume them?

Still don't understand the difference. If it's not waiting for the ack then

Its using the sync producer without waiting for any broker to acknowledge the 
write.  This explains the lack of errors you are seeing.

Little confused :) From one of the examples I am using property
request.required.acks=0,
I thought this sets the producer to be async?

Re: Topic doesn't exist exception

2014-10-17 Thread Gwen Shapira
0.8.1.1 producer is Sync by default, and you can set producer.type to
async if needed.

Thanks! How can I tell if I am using async producer? I thought all the
sends are async in nature

Re: Topic doesn't exist exception

2014-10-17 Thread Gwen Shapira
If you have "auto.create.topics.enable" set to "true" (default),
producing to a topic creates it.

Its a bit tricky because the "send" that creates the topic can fail
with "leader not found" or similar issue. retrying few times will
eventually succeed as the topic gets created and the leader gets
elected.

Is it possible that you are not getting errors because you are using
async producer?

Also "no messages are delivered" can have many causes. Check if the
topic exists using:
bin/kafka-topics.sh --list --zookeeper localhost:2181

Perhaps the topic was created and the issue is elsewhere (the consumer
is a usual suspect! perhaps look in the FAQ for tips with that issue)

Topic doesn't exist exception

2014-10-17 Thread Mohit Anchlia
Is Kafka supposed to throw exception if topic doesn't exist? It appears
that there is no exception thrown even though no messages are delivered and
there are errors logged in Kafka logs.
