Meetup presentation: How Apache Apex consumes from Kafka topics for real-time time processing and analytics. Learn about features of the Apex Kafka Connector, which is one of the most popular operators in the Apex Malhar operator library, and powers several production use cases. We explain the advanced features this operator provides for high throughput, low latency ingest and how it enables fault tolerant topologies with exactly once processing semantics.

Stream data from Apache Kafka for processing with Apache Apex
- 1. Low-latency ingestion and analytics with Apache Kafka and Apache Apex Thomas Weise, Architect DataTorrent, PPMC member Apache Apex March 28th 2016
- 2. Apache Apex Features • In-memory Stream Processing • Scale out, Distributed, Parallel, High Throughput • Windowing (temporal boundary) • Reliability, Fault Tolerance • Operability • YARN native • Compute Locality • Dynamic updates 2
- 4. Apache Apex Malhar Library 4
- 5. Apache Kafka 5 “A high-throughput distributed messaging system.” “Fast, Scalable, Durable, Distributed” Kafka is a natural fit to deliver events into Apex for low-latency processing.
- 6. Kafka Integration - Consumer 6 • Low-latency, high throughput ingest • Scales with Kafka topics ᵒ Auto-partitioning ᵒ Flexible and customizable partition mapping • Fault-tolerance (in 0.8 based on SimpleConsumer) ᵒ Metadata monitoring/failover to new broker ᵒ Offset checkpointing ᵒ Idempotency ᵒ External offset storage • Support for multiple clusters ᵒ Built for better resource utilization • Bandwidth control ᵒ Bytes per second
- 7. Kafka Integration - Producer 7 • Output operator is a Kafka producer • Exactly once strategy ᵒ On failure data already sent to message queue should not be re-sent ᵒ Sends a key along with data that is monotonically increasing ᵒ On recovery operator asks the message queue for the last sent message • Gets the recovery key from the message ᵒ Ignores all replayed data with key that is less than or equal to the recovered key ᵒ If the key is not monotonically increasing then data can be sorted on the key at the end of the window and sent to message queue • Implemented in operator AbstractExactlyOnceKafkaOutputOperator in apache/incubator-apex-malhar github repository available here

- 12. Dynamic Scaling 12 Partitioning change while application is running • Change number of partitions at runtime based on stats • Determine initial number of partitions dynamically – Kafka operators scale according to number of Kafka partitions • Supports re-distribution of state when number of partitions change • API for custom scaling or partitioning 2b 2c 3 2a 2d 1b 1a1a 2a 1b 2b 3 1a 2b 1b 2c 3b 2a 2d 3a Unifiers not shown
- 13. Fault Tolerance 13 • Operator state is checkpointed to persistent store ᵒ Automatically performed by engine, no additional coding needed ᵒ Asynchronous and distributed ᵒ In case of failure operators are restarted from checkpoint state • Automatic detection and recovery of failed containers ᵒ Heartbeat mechanism ᵒ YARN process status notification • Buffering to enable replay of data from recovered point ᵒ Fast, incremental recovery, spike handling • Application master state checkpointed ᵒ Snapshot of physical (and logical) plan ᵒ Execution layer change log
- 14. Streaming Windows 14 Application window Sliding window and tumbling window Checkpoint window No artificial latency
- 15. Checkpointing Operator State 15 • Save state of operator so that it can be recovered on failure • Pluggable storage handler • Default implementation ᵒ Serialization with Kryo ᵒ All non-transient fields serialized ᵒ Serialized state written to HDFS ᵒ Writes asynchronous, non-blocking • Possible to implement custom handlers for alternative approach to extract state or different storage backend (such as IMDG) • For operators that rely on previous state for computation ᵒ Operators can be marked @Stateless to skip checkpointing • Checkpoint frequency tunable (by default 30s) ᵒ Based on streaming windows for consistent state
- 16. Processing Guarantees 16 At-least-once • On recovery data will be replayed from a previous checkpoint ᵒ No messages lost ᵒ Default, suitable for most applications • Can be used to ensure data is written once to store ᵒ Transactions with meta information, Rewinding output, Feedback from external entity, Idempotent operations At-most-once • On recovery the latest data is made available to operator ᵒ Useful in use cases where some data loss is acceptable and latest data is sufficient Exactly-once ᵒ At-least-once + idempotency + transactional mechanisms (operator logic) to achieve end-to-end exactly once behavior
