Join us on Slack at #kafka-mesos https://mesos-slackin.herokuapp.com/

For issues https://github.com/mesos/kafka/issues

Installation

Typical Operations

Navigating the CLI

Using the REST API

Project Goals

Installation

Install OpenJDK 7 (or higher) http://openjdk.java.net/install/

Install gradle http://gradle.org/installation

Clone and build the project

# git clone https://github.com/mesos/kafka
# cd kafka
# ./gradlew jar downloadKafka

Environment Configuration

Before running ./kafka-mesos.sh, set the location of libmesos:

# export MESOS_NATIVE_JAVA_LIBRARY=/usr/local/lib/libmesos.so

If the host running scheduler has several IP addresses you may also need to

# export LIBPROCESS_IP=<IP_ACCESSIBLE_FROM_MASTER>

Scheduler Configuration

The scheduler is configured through the command line or kafka-mesos.properties file.

The following options are available:

# ./kafka-mesos.sh help scheduler
Start scheduler
Usage: scheduler [options] [config.properties]

Option               Description
------               -----------
--api                Api url. Example: http://master:7000
--bind-address       Scheduler bind address (master, 0.0.0.0, 192.168.50.*, if:eth1). Default - all
--debug <Boolean>    Debug mode. Default - false
--framework-name     Framework name. Default - kafka
--framework-role     Framework role. Default - *
--framework-timeout  Framework timeout (30s, 1m, 1h). Default - 30d
--jre                JRE zip-file (jre-7-openjdk.zip). Default - none.
--log                Log file to use. Default - stdout.
--master             Master connection settings. Examples:
                      - master:5050
                      - master:5050,master2:5050
                      - zk://master:2181/mesos
                      - zk://username:password@master:2181
                      - zk://master:2181,master2:2181/mesos
--principal          Principal (username) used to register framework. Default - none
--secret             Secret (password) used to register framework. Default - none
--storage            Storage for cluster state. Examples:
                      - file:kafka-mesos.json
                      - zk:/kafka-mesos
                     Default - file:kafka-mesos.json
--user               Mesos user to run tasks. Default - none
--zk                 Kafka zookeeper.connect. Examples:
                      - master:2181
                      - master:2181,master2:2181

Additionally you can create kafka-mesos.properties containing values for CLI options of scheduler.

Example of kafka-mesos.properties:

storage=file:kafka-mesos.json
master=zk://master:2181/mesos
zk=master:2181
api=http://master:7000

Now if running scheduler via ./kafka-mesos.sh scheduler (no options specified) the scheduler will read values for options from the above file. You could also specify alternative config file by using config argument of the scheduler.

Another example of kafka-mesos.properties:

storage=zk:/kafka-mesos
master=zk://master:2181/mesos
zk=zookeep1:2181,zookeep2:2181,zookeep3:2181/KafkaCluster
api=http://master:7000

The second example creates /KafkaCluster chroot in zookeeper quorum (consisting of zookeep1,zookeep2,zookeep3 servers). Cluster data (--storage) is saved in zookeeper quorum, /KafkaCluster/kafka-mesos. Example creating topics using tools that come with kafka would be

kafka-topics.sh --zookeeper zookeep1:2181,zookeep2:2181,zookeep3:2181/KafkaCluster  --create --config min.insync.replicas=3 --config max.message.bytes=47185920 --config unclean.leader.election.enable=false --topic tw_spam --partitions 15 --replication-factor 3

Run the scheduler

Start the Kafka scheduler using this command:

# ./kafka-mesos.sh scheduler

Note: you can also use Marathon to launch the scheduler process so it gets restarted if it crashes.

Starting and using 1 broker

First let's start up and use 1 broker with the default settings. Further in the readme you can see how to change these from the defaults.

# ./kafka-mesos.sh broker add 0
broker added:
  id: 0
  active: false
  state: stopped
  resources: cpus:1.00, mem:2048, heap:1024, port:auto
  failover: delay:1m, max-delay:10m
  stickiness: period:10m

You now have a cluster with 1 broker that is not started.

# ./kafka-mesos.sh broker list
broker:
  id: 0
  active: false
  state: stopped
  resources: cpus:1.00, mem:2048, heap:1024, port:auto
  failover: delay:1m, max-delay:10m
  stickiness: period:10m

Now let's start the broker.

# ./kafka-mesos.sh broker start 0
broker started:
  id: 0
  active: true
  state: running
  resources: cpus:1.00, mem:2048, heap:1024, port:auto
  failover: delay:1m, max-delay:10m
  stickiness: period:10m, hostname:slave0
  task:
    id: broker-0-d2d94520-2f3e-4779-b276-771b4843043c
    running: true
    endpoint: 172.16.25.62:31000
    attributes: rack=r1

Great! Now let's produce and consume from the cluster. Let's use kafkacat, a nice third party c library command line tool for Kafka.

# echo "test"|kafkacat -P -b "172.16.25.62:31000" -t testTopic -p 0

And let's read it back.

# kafkacat -C -b "172.16.25.62:31000" -t testTopic -p 0 -e
test

This is a beta version.

View broker log

Strings are always being read from the end of a file. Get last 100 lines from stdout file of broker 0,

./kafka-mesos.sh broker log 0

or from stderr

./kafka-mesos.sh broker log 0 --name stderr

or any file in kafka-*/log/, for example: server.log

./kafka-mesos.sh broker log 0 --name server.log

or maybe more lines

./kafka-mesos.sh broker log 0 --name server.log --lines 200

current limit is 100Kb no matter how many lines being requested.

High Availability Scheduler State

The scheduler supports storing the cluster state in Zookeeper. It currently shares a znode within the mesos ensemble. To turn this on in properties

clusterStorage=zk:/kafka-mesos

Failed Broker Recovery

When a broker fails, kafka mesos scheduler assumes that the failure is recoverable. The scheduler will try to restart the broker after waiting failover-delay (i.e. 30s, 2m). The initial waiting delay is equal to failover-delay setting. After each consecutive failure this delay is doubled until it reaches failover-max-delay value.

If failover-max-tries is defined and the consecutive failure count exceeds it, the broker will be deactivated.

The following failover settings exists:

--failover-delay     - initial failover delay to wait after failure, required
--failover-max-delay - max failover delay, required
--failover-max-tries - max failover tries to deactivate broker, optional

Broker Placement Stickiness

If a broker is started within a stickiness-period interval from it's stop time, the scheduler will place it on the same node it was on during the last successful start. This applies both to failover and manual restarts.

The following stickiness settings exists:

--stickiness-period  - period of time during which broker would be restarted on the same node

Passing multiple options

A common use case is to supply multiple log.dirs, or provide other options. To do this you may use comma escaping like this:

./kafka-mesos.sh broker update 0 --options log.dirs=/mnt/array1/broker0\\,/mnt/array2/broker0,num.io.threads=16
broker updated:
  id: 0
  active: false
  state: stopped
  resources: cpus:1.00, mem:2048, heap:1024, port:auto
  options: log.dirs=/mnt/array1/broker0\,/mnt/array2/broker0,num.io.threads=16
  failover: delay:1m, max-delay:10m
  stickiness: period:10m, hostname:slave0, expires:2015-07-29 11:54:39Z

Broker metrics

Executor sends broker metrics to scheduler every 30 seconds, such as:

  • under-replicated-partitions is number of under replicated partitions (| ISR | < | all replicas |)
  • offline-partitions-count is number of partitions that don't have an active leader and are hence not writable or readable
  • is-active-controller is controller active on broker, only one broker in cluster should have value "1"
./kafka-mesos.sh broker list
brokers:
  id: 0
  active: true
  state: running
  resources: cpus:1.00, mem:2048, heap:1024, port:auto
  failover: delay:1m, max-delay:10m
  stickiness: period:10m, hostname:slave0
  task:
    id: broker-0-826e8075-5dd3-49ab-b86e-6432fa03ef66
    state: running
    endpoint: slave0:9092 (slave0)
  metrics:
    collected: 2016-01-18 11:53:36Z
    under-replicated-partitions: 0
    offline-partitions-count: 0
    is-active-controller: 1

  id: 1
  active: true
  state: running
  resources: cpus:1.00, mem:2048, heap:1024, port:auto
  failover: delay:1m, max-delay:10m
  stickiness: period:10m, hostname:slave1
  task:
    id: broker-1-4648130a-9aa0-4c7e-b8af-761c03aa111c
    state: running
    endpoint: slave1:9092 (slave1)
  metrics:
    collected: 2016-01-18 11:53:36Z
    under-replicated-partitions: 0
    offline-partitions-count: 0
    is-active-controller: 0

Rolling restart

For example there are 3 running brokers and you want to add new log dir /mnt/array2/broker$id alongside already used /mnt/array1/broker$id

# ./kafka-mesos.sh broker list
brokers:
  id: 0
  active: true
  state: running
  resources: cpus:0.50, mem:2048, heap:1024, port:9092
  bind-address: slave0
  constraints: hostname=like:slave0
  options: log.dirs=/mnt/array1/broker$id
  ...

  id: 1
  active: true
  state: running
  resources: cpus:0.50, mem:2048, heap:1024, port:9092
  bind-address: slave1
  constraints: hostname=like:slave1
  options: log.dirs=/mnt/array1/broker$id
  ...

  id: 2
  active: true
  state: running
  resources: cpus:0.50, mem:2048, heap:1024, port:9092
  bind-address: slave2
  constraints: hostname=like:slave2
  options: log.dirs=/mnt/array1/broker$id
  ...

Update brokers by adding new log dir (they were already using dir /mnt/array1/broker$id).

NOTE: you could update brokers in running state, however configuration updated only in scheduler, thus you need to restart brokers to apply changes. Whenever you update running broker broker list will show you notification (modified, needs restart) right in state description, notice will disappear once broker restarted.

# ./kafka-mesos.sh broker update 1..3 --options log.dirs=/mnt/array1/broker\$id\\,/mnt/array2/broker\$id
brokers updated:
  id: 0
  active: true
  state: running (modified, needs restart)
  resources: cpus:0.50, mem:2048, heap:1024, port:9092
  bind-address: slave0
  constraints: hostname=like:slave0
  options: log.dirs=/mnt/array1/broker$id\,/mnt/array2/broker$id
  ...

  id: 1
  active: true
  state: running (modified, needs restart)
  resources: cpus:0.50, mem:2048, heap:1024, port:9092
  bind-address: slave1
  constraints: hostname=like:slave1
  options: log.dirs=/mnt/array1/broker$id\,/mnt/array2/broker$id
  ...

  id: 2
  active: true
  state: running (modified, needs restart)
  resources: cpus:0.50, mem:2048, heap:1024, port:9092
  bind-address: slave2
  constraints: hostname=like:slave2
  options: log.dirs=/mnt/array1/broker$id\,/mnt/array2/broker$id
  ...

Rolling restart (sequentially stop then start each broker) gives you ability to combine stop then start for each broker in single action. See restart CLI options.

# ./kafka-mesos.sh broker restart 1..3 --timeout 5m
brokers restarted:
  id: 0
  active: true
  state: running
  resources: cpus:0.50, mem:2048, heap:1024, port:9092
  bind-address: slave0
  constraints: hostname=like:slave0
  options: log.dirs=/mnt/array1/broker$id\,/mnt/array2/broker$id
  ...

  id: 1
  active: true
  state: running
  resources: cpus:0.50, mem:2048, heap:1024, port:9092
  bind-address: slave1
  constraints: hostname=like:slave1
  options: log.dirs=/mnt/array1/broker$id\,/mnt/array2/broker$id
  ...

  id: 2
  active: true
  state: running
  resources: cpus:0.50, mem:2048, heap:1024, port:9092
  bind-address: slave2
  constraints: hostname=like:slave2
  options: log.dirs=/mnt/array1/broker$id\,/mnt/array2/broker$id
  ...

It's possible that some broker could timeout on stop or start, in such case restart halts with notice:

# ./kafka-mesos.sh broker restart 1..3 --timeout 5m
Error: broker 1 timeout on stop

or for start

# ./kafka-mesos.sh broker restart 1..3 --timeout 5m
Error: broker 1 timeout on start

Project Goals

  • smart broker.id assignment.

  • preservation of broker placement (through constraints/stickiness and/or new features).

  • ability to-do configuration changes.

  • scaling the cluster up and down with automatic, programmatic and manual options.

  • smart partition assignment via constraints, roles, resources and attributes.
