利用kafka内建的特殊topic 做offsets 提交和检索

In Kafka releases through 0.8.1.1, consumers commit their offsets to ZooKeeper. ZooKeeper does not scale extremely well (especially for writes) when there are a large number of offsets (i.e., consumer-count * partition-count). Fortunately, Kafka now provides an ideal mechanism for storing consumer offsets. Consumers can commit their offsets in Kafka by writing them to a durable (replicated) and highly available topic. Consumers can fetch offsets by reading from this topic (although we provide an in-memory offsets cache for faster access). i.e., offset commits are regular producer requests (which are inexpensive) and offset fetches are fast memory look ups.

The official Kafka documentation describes how the feature works and how to migrate offsets from ZooKeeper to Kafka. This wiki provides sample code that shows how to use the new Kafka-based offset storage mechanism.

Step 1: Discover and connect to the offset manager for a consumer group by issuing a consumer metadata request to any broker

import  kafka.api.*; import  kafka.cluster.Broker; import  kafka.common.OffsetAndMetadata; import  kafka.common.OffsetMetadataAndError; import  kafka.common.TopicAndPartition; import  kafka.javaapi.ConsumerMetadataResponse; import  kafka.javaapi.OffsetCommitRequest; import  kafka.javaapi.OffsetCommitResponse; import  kafka.javaapi.OffsetFetchRequest; import  kafka.javaapi.OffsetFetchResponse; import  kafka.network.BlockingChannel; import  java.util.*;   ...        try  {          BlockingChannel channel =  new  BlockingChannel( "localhost" ,  9092 ,                  BlockingChannel.UseDefaultBufferSize(),                  BlockingChannel.UseDefaultBufferSize(),                  5000  /* read timeout in millis */ );          channel.connect();          final  String MY_GROUP =  "demoGroup" ;          final  String MY_CLIENTID =  "demoClientId" ;          int  correlationId =  0 ;          final  TopicAndPartition testPartition0 =  new  TopicAndPartition( "demoTopic" ,  0 );          final  TopicAndPartition testPartition1 =  new  TopicAndPartition( "demoTopic" ,  1 );          channel.send( new  ConsumerMetadataRequest(MY_GROUP, ConsumerMetadataRequest.CurrentVersion(), correlationId++, MY_CLIENTID));          ConsumerMetadataResponse metadataResponse = ConsumerMetadataResponse.readFrom(channel.receive().buffer());            if  (metadataResponse.errorCode() == ErrorMapping.NoError()) {              Broker offsetManager = metadataResponse.coordinator();              // if the coordinator is different, from the above channel's host then reconnect              channel.disconnect();              channel =  new  BlockingChannel(offsetManager.host(), offsetManager.port(),                                            BlockingChannel.UseDefaultBufferSize(),                                            BlockingChannel.UseDefaultBufferSize(),                                            5000  /* read timeout in millis */ );              channel.connect();          }  else  {              // retry (after backoff)          }      }      catch  (IOException e) {          // retry the query (after backoff)      }

Step 2: Issue the OffsetCommitRequest or OffsetFetchRequest to the offset manager

// How to commit offsets            long  now = System.currentTimeMillis();          Map<TopicAndPartition, OffsetAndMetadata> offsets =  new  LinkedHashMap<TopicAndPartition, OffsetAndMetadata>();          offsets.put(testPartition0,  new  OffsetAndMetadata(100L,  "associated metadata" , now));          offsets.put(testPartition1,  new  OffsetAndMetadata(200L,  "more metadata" , now));          OffsetCommitRequest commitRequest =  new  OffsetCommitRequest(                  MY_GROUP,                  offsets,                  correlationId++,                  MY_CLIENTID,                  ( short )  1  /* version */ );  // version 1 and above commit to Kafka, version 0 commits to ZooKeeper          try  {              channel.send(commitRequest.underlying());              OffsetCommitResponse commitResponse = OffsetCommitResponse.readFrom(channel.receive().buffer());              if  (commitResponse.hasError()) {                  for  (partitionErrorCode: commitResponse.errors().values()) {                      if  (partitionErrorCode == ErrorMapping.OffsetMetadataTooLargeCode()) {                          // You must reduce the size of the metadata if you wish to retry                      }  else  if  (partitionErrorCode == ErrorMapping.NotCoordinatorForConsumerCode() || partitionErrorCode == ErrorMapping.ConsumerCoordinatorNotAvailableCode()) {                        channel.disconnect();                         // Go to step 1 (offset manager has moved) and then retry the commit to the new offset manager                      }  else  {                          // log and retry the commit                      }                  }              }          }          catch  (IOException ioe) {              channel.disconnect();              // Go to step 1 and then retry the commit          }   // How to fetch offsets            List<TopicAndPartition> partitions =  new  ArrayList<TopicAndPartition>();          partitions.add(testPartition0);          OffsetFetchRequest fetchRequest =  new  OffsetFetchRequest(                  MY_GROUP,                  partitions,                  ( short )  1  /* version */ ,  // version 1 and above fetch from Kafka, version 0 fetches from ZooKeeper                  correlationId,                  MY_CLIENTID);          try  {              channel.send(fetchRequest.underlying());              OffsetFetchResponse fetchResponse = OffsetFetchResponse.readFrom(channel.receive().buffer());              OffsetMetadataAndError result = fetchResponse.offsets().get(testPartition0);              short  offsetFetchErrorCode = result.error();              if  (offsetFetchErrorCode == ErrorMapping.NotCoordinatorForConsumerCode()) {                  channel.disconnect();                  // Go to step 1 and retry the offset fetch              }  else  if  (errorCode == ErrorMapping.OffsetsLoadInProgress()) {                  // retry the offset fetch (after backoff)              }  else  {                  long  retrievedOffset = result.offset();                  String retrievedMetadata = result.metadata();              }          }          catch  (IOException e) {              channel.disconnect();              // Go to step 1 and then retry offset fetch after backoff          }
