Hello, i've had hard time trying to poll Kafka messages using Camel 2.20.1.
.setHeader(KafkaConstants.OFFSET, constant("smallest")) .pollEnrich("kafka:myTopic?brokers=MyHost:1111&groupId=reader", 5000L) .log("${body}"); All I can find in the logs is INFO 10688 --- [ qtp43368234-22] o.a.c.c.k.KafkaConsumer : Starting Kafka consumer on topic: myTopic with breakOnFirstError: false DEBUG 10688 --- [ qtp43368234-22] o.a.c.c.k.KafkaConsumer : Starting consumer: Consumer[kafka://myTopic?brokers=MyHost:1111&groupId=reader] DEBUG 10688 --- [ qtp43368234-22] o.a.c.c.k.KafkaConsumer : Kafka consumer groupId is reader After five seconds timeout the body is null. If I would use same URI in from("kafka:..") it would work fine. >From logs it would seem like KafkaFetchRecords is not invoked. I wasn't able to find kafka-camel tests testing pollEnrich or any newer examples on-line, can anyone confirm that it's working? what might be possible cause of my problem? Besides that can you guys explain how camel-kafka component is designed? pollEnrich can return single message only, but to my understanding KafkaConsumer polls messages for some time in infinite loop and gets multiple messages. Does camel cache those messages ? Or does it disconnect from Kafka so that it wouldn't consume too much memory after receiving too many messages?
