kafka-lib Producer

A simple command line tool for sending messages to Kafka using a synchronous Kafka producer.

Requirements

To start the example you have to have Kafka broker running first. if you don't have it installed locally you can use the following docker image.

sudo docker run -p 2181:2181 -p 9092:9092 --name kafka --rm \
   --env ADVERTISED_HOST=172.17.0.1 --env ADVERTISED_PORT=9092 spotify/kafka

It will bring up Kafka broker listening on port 9092 for client communication (suitable for quickstart).

Usage
  • Quick-start: go run syncproducer.go -brokers=localhost:9092

  • If an environment variable KAFKA_PEERS is defined and -brokers is not specified, then the environment variable will be used instead to read the location of brokers: export KAFKA_PEERS=kafka1:9092,kafka2:9092,kafka3:9092

  • By default, the producer will choose the destination partition based on the message hash. This can be overridden using the -partitioner argument, available options are

    • manual: destination partition selected by the user through the option -partition
    • hash: partition calculated using a hash function applied on the message key
    • random: randomly selected partition
  • On startup, a prompt will be displayed: Enter command [quit|message]:

    • enter quit to exit
    • or enter message to send a message
  • If a message is entered, then the following prompts will be displayed:

    • enter topic: enter the destination topic name
    • enter message: enter the message text
    • enter key: enter the message key or skip
    • enter meta: enter the message meta data or skip
  • To terminate this producer press ctrl-c. The message closing producer ... will be displayed.

  • When a message is successfully sent, message sent successfully - <msg> is displayed.

  • When the message delivery fails, message errored - <error> is displayed.

  • If quit is entered, the consumer will be closed and ended successfully displayed.

  • To display all command line options, type:

    go run syncproducer.go -help
    
Options
  • brokers : A comma separated list of brokers in the Kafka cluster. Alternatively, you can set broker addresses via the KAFKA_PEERS environment variable.

  • partitioner : The partitioning scheme to use. Can be hash, manual, or random. Default is hash.

  • partition : The partition to produce to. Only used if partitioner=manual. If the partition is > -1, then the partitioner will be automatically set to manual.

  • debug : Turns-on debug logging.

  • silent : Turns-off printing the message's topic, partition, and offset to stdout.
