Introducing the aggregation in Kafka and explained this in easy way to implement the Aggregation on real time streaming.
In order to aggregate the stream we need do two steps operations.
groupBy or groupByKey uses the through() internally to group the stream by different task on different partitions.
2. Aggregate — count(), reduce(), aggregate()
count() — Simple method used to count the elements
Streaming APIs-
Store, KTable, GlobalKTable,
If application requires aggregation, Kafka uses the store in order to aggregate the stream for further processing. The use case like word count, live trend of any event and live voting can be consider for the candidate for aggregation.
The Stream processing basically requires to consider for below point as a part of solution development.
Why Aggregation?
As stream is flow of event which possess below features, so it requires aggregation.
Pin validation:
Kafka sends the events though network which requires the message to be serialize before sending over the network. Publisher API provides the serializer like IntegerSerializer, StringSerializer etc, same sense of deserializer.
Serializer is used by publisher while Deserializer by consumer.
If the default serializer may not full-fill the need specially in case of any custom object required to pass through network. For example employee, customer objects etc. In this case we can build the customer serailizer and configure as serializer.
Example:
Lets consider a json based message need to send to Kafka topic, then follow the below steps.
A sample Streaming Application
Concept: While doing the Kafka stream client development, need to take step wise approach. Steps can be-
Example:
A sample stream client application
Follow the below steps in order to build the Stream client application.
public static Properties getStreamConfigProps(){ Properties props=new Properties(); props.put(StreamsConfig.BOOTSTRAP_SERVERS_CONFIG, IAppConfigs.BOOTSTAP_SERVER); props.put(StreamsConfig.DEFAULT_KEY_SERDE_CLASS_CONFIG, Serdes.String().getClass()); props.put(StreamsConfig.DEFAULT_VALUE_SERDE_CLASS_CONFIG…
This story talks about the event and processing of events using Kafka.
Event- Shows the change in state of object. The unbounded form of flow of event is called event stream. It shows something happened in the source of the event.
Streaming- The unbounded form of source of event
Producer- The source that produces the event or event stream
Consumer- To continuously capture and analyze the events stream.
There are three types consumers in Kafka
This story talk about advance feature of Kafka like -
Interceptor
Transaction
Partitioning
Idempotent Producer
Compression
Batching
Helps to change the behaviour of Kafka client application without changing the code. It can be used for the message enrichment or to any this before sending the message or after the message received from Broker.
In order to implement the logic for interceptor in application we need to use the ProducerInterceptor interface on a class and use the class where ever is required.
This interface has two methods to be implemented on the class wherein we can write the logic to change…
This talks about the Apache Kafka Architecture, its components and the internal structure for Kafka for its components.
Why Kafka?
Single Cluster: Apache Kafka
Components:
Broker:
Producer:
Prerequisites
Event is published as ProducerRecord to the topic which resides in and managed by broker. The ProducerRecord is formed and pushed by Producer. It is followed in a step of steps that is depicted as below.
How does Kafka process the record and send the event to broker?
The publisher API creates the ProducerRecord and call the send() method.
Steps Like:
A complete example is written at the end of the story.
bootstrap.servers
key.serializer
value.serializer
client.id
ack
Messaging: Application Integration
Messaging is the backbone of Enterprise wherein the applications talks to each other over integration layer. There are two basic factors are considered as a main driving factors for implementation of the integration layer.
1. Protocol
2. Design Principle
Protocol are like HTTP/ HTTPS/JMS.
I will take little more time to talk about the Design principle. It can be one of the following. The implementation for mentioned below are considered on case to case basis. There is no hard line can be drawn in the selection of the application integration design.
Only one type of Metric publisher
