No aggregation, but I need messages to be played in sequential !!
Ex: Below is the way actually msgs should come from my kafka topic msg1 ts1 msg2 ts2 msg3 ts3 msg4 ts4 msg5 ts5 msg6 ts6 msg7 ts7 But, due to some network issues I am seeing the messages in kafka topic something like below: msg2 ts2 ==> msg2 which actually should come after msg1, but unfortunately msg2 is coming to kafka before msg1, losing the sequence!! msg1 ts1 ==> delayed by few milli secs to seconds to reach on time!! msg3 ts3 msg4 ts4 msg5 ts5 msg7 ts7 ==> msg7 had come early into topics before msg6 msg6 ts6 ==> delayed !! I am losing the order of messages and business logic gives correct results only when msgs played in sequence!! Now if I define windowing/some buffering and then order on timestamp and play msgs… What if window boundary takes msg2 ts2 —————— window ends here msg1 ts1 msg3 ts3 msg4 ts4 msg5 ts5 msg7 ts7 msg6 ts6 —————— window ends here Now, if you see, even though I am trying to do buffering and then ordering the msgs based on some timstamp, I still face the problem of msg2 already processed before msg1 !! Which I don’t want. Did I really understand windowing correctly…. Pls correct me if I am wrong!! Thanks for your thoughts!! Regards, Raja.

It will have the same effect on latency as "micro-batching". Why is the ordering important? What operations do you perform on the data? Aggregation?

Source couldn’t ensure the ordering guarantee due to the network!! Is there a right way for me from consumer standpoint, I can ensure ordering ?? Will micro batching work for me here ? Or Does apex support micro batching and order the messages ?

If, for example, in your DAG you shuffle the data received from Kafka in a way that is different from the original partitioning, then it would be possible that multiple downstream partitions process data that came from a single Kafka partition concurrently and therefore in a different order.

If thats the case can you use a console consumer that comes packed with kafka and verify the ordering based on timestamps ?

What you said is very clear and understandable. But, wondering, I am NOT getting that partition level order!! My operator is processing the records in jumbled order rather than in sequence! And, I am saying this because, I am generating timestamps upon tuple receipt and emitting that timestamp to my destination, which is clearly showing the records are receiving to operator in a shuffled order. I get records at milli second level differences!! Will that be a problem ? Regards, Raja.

When you look at the consumed data, all the events coming from a given partition would be ordered but there are no ordering guarantees across partitions since kafka does not guarantee that eg : If 3 partitions of a topic p1,p2,p3 having 10 messages each are connected to one physical partition of the KafkaInputOperator , then the ordering guarantee of p1.1 to p1.10 is honored.ie<http://honored.ie> message 10 of p1 be consumed only after messages 1 through 9 are consumed but the operator could consumer messages in a order like p1.1,p2.1,p1.2,p1.3,p3.1,p2.2..... which still follows the guarantees per partition.

I have around 30 partitions of kafka topic, And all of them have messages ordered at partition level. So, when I consume those messages using single consumer[with ONE_TO_MANY strategy set], still the ordering doesn’t work ? My messages in topic are guaranteed to be ordered at partition level. Thanks a lot in advance for your response. Regards, Raja.

All messages from a given Kafka partition are received by the same consumer and thus will be ordered. However, when messages come from multiple partitions there is no such guarantee.

Some times my operator which does hbase lookup and update in the same operator(Custom written), is processing the records it receives from kafka in a jumbled order, which is causing, many records being ignored from processing!! I am not using any parallel partitions/instance, and with KafkaInputOperator I am using only partition strategy ONE_TO_MANY. I am very new to Apex. I expected, Apex will guarantee the ordering. Can someone pls share your knowledge on the issue…? Thanks a lot in advance… Regards, Raja.
