  • Last Value Semantics

Notes

Installation

# Go client
go get github.com/nats-io/stan.go/

Basic Usage

import stan "github.com/nats-io/stan.go"

sc, _ := stan.Connect(clusterID, clientID)

// Simple Synchronous Publisher
sc.Publish("foo", []byte("Hello World")) // does not return until an ack has been received from NATS Streaming

// Simple Async Subscriber
sub, _ := sc.Subscribe("foo", func(m *stan.Msg) {
    fmt.Printf("Received a message: %s\n", string(m.Data))
})

// Unsubscribe
sub.Unsubscribe()

// Close connection
sc.Close()
Subscription Start (i.e. Replay) Options

NATS Streaming subscriptions are similar to NATS subscriptions, but clients may start their subscription at an earlier point in the message stream, allowing them to receive messages that were published before this client registered interest.

The options are described with examples below:


// Subscribe starting with most recently published value
sub, err := sc.Subscribe("foo", func(m *stan.Msg) {
    fmt.Printf("Received a message: %s\n", string(m.Data))
}, stan.StartWithLastReceived())

// Receive all stored values in order
sub, err := sc.Subscribe("foo", func(m *stan.Msg) {
    fmt.Printf("Received a message: %s\n", string(m.Data))
}, stan.DeliverAllAvailable())

// Receive messages starting at a specific sequence number
sub, err := sc.Subscribe("foo", func(m *stan.Msg) {
    fmt.Printf("Received a message: %s\n", string(m.Data))
}, stan.StartAtSequence(22))

// Subscribe starting at a specific time
var startTime time.Time
...
sub, err := sc.Subscribe("foo", func(m *stan.Msg) {
    fmt.Printf("Received a message: %s\n", string(m.Data))
}, stan.StartAtTime(startTime))

// Subscribe starting a specific amount of time in the past (e.g. 30 seconds ago)
sub, err := sc.Subscribe("foo", func(m *stan.Msg) {
    fmt.Printf("Received a message: %s\n", string(m.Data))
}, stan.StartAtTimeDelta(time.ParseDuration("30s")))
Durable Subscriptions

Replay of messages offers great flexibility for clients wishing to begin processing at some earlier point in the data stream. However, some clients just need to pick up where they left off from an earlier session, without having to manually track their position in the stream of messages. Durable subscriptions allow clients to assign a durable name to a subscription when it is created. Doing this causes the NATS Streaming server to track the last acknowledged message for that clientID + durable name, so that only messages since the last acknowledged message will be delivered to the client.

sc, _ := stan.Connect("test-cluster", "client-123")

// Subscribe with durable name
sc.Subscribe("foo", func(m *stan.Msg) {
    fmt.Printf("Received a message: %s\n", string(m.Data))
}, stan.DurableName("my-durable"))
...
// client receives message sequence 1-40
...
// client disconnects for an hour
...
// client reconnects with same clientID "client-123"
sc, _ := stan.Connect("test-cluster", "client-123")

// client re-subscribes to "foo" with same durable name "my-durable"
sc.Subscribe("foo", func(m *stan.Msg) {
    fmt.Printf("Received a message: %s\n", string(m.Data))
}, stan.DurableName("my-durable"))
...
// client receives messages 41-current
Queue Groups

All subscriptions with the same queue name (regardless of the connection they originate from) will form a queue group. Each message will be delivered to only one subscriber per queue group, using queuing semantics. You can have as many queue groups as you wish.

Normal subscribers will continue to work as expected.

Creating a Queue Group

A queue group is automatically created when the first queue subscriber is created. If the group already exists, the member is added to the group.

sc, _ := stan.Connect("test-cluster", "clientid")

// Create a queue subscriber on "foo" for group "bar"
qsub1, _ := sc.QueueSubscribe("foo", "bar", qcb)

// Add a second member
qsub2, _ := sc.QueueSubscribe("foo", "bar", qcb)

// Notice that you can have a regular subscriber on that subject
sub, _ := sc.Subscribe("foo", cb)

// A message on "foo" will be received by sub and qsub1 or qsub2.
Start Position

Note that once a queue group is formed, a member's start position is ignored when added to the group. It will start receive messages from the last position in the group.

Suppose the channel foo exists and there are 500 messages stored, the group bar is already created, there are two members and the last message sequence sent is 100. A new member is added. Note its start position:

sc.QueueSubscribe("foo", "bar", qcb, stan.StartAtSequence(200))

This will not produce an error, but the start position will be ignored. Assuming this member would be the one receiving the next message, it would receive message sequence 101.

Leaving the Group

There are two ways of leaving the group: closing the subscriber's connection or calling Unsubscribe:

// Have qsub leave the queue group
qsub.Unsubscribe()

If the leaving member had un-acknowledged messages, those messages are reassigned to the remaining members.

Closing a Queue Group

There is no special API for that. Once all members have left (either calling Unsubscribe, or their connections are closed), the group is removed from the server.

The next call to QueueSubscribe with the same group name will create a brand new group, that is, the start position will take effect and delivery will start from there.

Durable Queue Groups

As described above, for non durable queue subscribers, when the last member leaves the group, that group is removed. A durable queue group allows you to have all members leave but still maintain state. When a member re-joins, it starts at the last position in that group.

Creating a Durable Queue Group

A durable queue group is created in a similar manner as that of a standard queue group, except the DurableName option must be used to specify durability.

sc.QueueSubscribe("foo", "bar", qcb, stan.DurableName("dur"))

A group called dur:bar (the concatenation of durable name and group name) is created in the server. This means two things:

  • The character : is not allowed for a queue subscriber's durable name.
  • Durable and non-durable queue groups with the same name can coexist.
// Non durable queue subscriber on group "bar"
qsub, _ := sc.QueueSubscribe("foo", "bar", qcb)

// Durable queue subscriber on group "bar"
durQsub, _ := sc.QueueSubscribe("foo", "bar", qcb, stan.DurableName("mydurablegroup"))

// The same message produced on "foo" would be received by both queue subscribers.
Start Position

The rules for non-durable queue subscribers apply to durable subscribers.

Leaving the Group

As for non-durable queue subscribers, if a member's connection is closed, or if Unsubscribe its called, the member leaves the group. Any unacknowledged message is transferred to remaining members. See Closing the Group for important difference with non-durable queue subscribers.

Closing the Group

The last member calling Unsubscribe will close (that is destroy) the group. So if you want to maintain durability of the group, you should not be calling Unsubscribe.

So unlike for non-durable queue subscribers, it is possible to maintain a queue group with no member in the server. When a new member re-joins the durable queue group, it will resume from where the group left of, actually first receiving all unacknowledged messages that may have been left when the last member previously left.

Wildcard Subscriptions

NATS Streaming subscriptions do not support wildcards.

Advanced Usage

Connection configuration such as TLS, etc..

If you want more advanced configuration of the underlying NATS Connection, you will need to create a NATS connection and pass that connection to the stan.Connect() call with the stan.NatsConn() option.

// Create a NATS connection that you can configure the way you want
nc, err = nats.Connect("tls://localhost:4443", nats.ClientCert("mycerts/client-cert.pem", "mycerts/client-key.pem"))
if (err != nil)
 ...

// Then pass it to the stan.Connect() call.
sc, err = stan.Connect("test-cluster", "me", stan.NatsConn(nc))
if (err != nil)
 ...

// Note that you will be responsible for closing the NATS Connection after the streaming
// connection has been closed.
Connection Status

The fact that the NATS Streaming server and clients are not directly connected poses a challenge when it comes to know if a client is still valid. When a client disconnects, the streaming server is not notified, hence the importance of calling Close(). The server sends heartbeats to the client's private inbox and if it misses a certain number of responses, it will consider the client's connection lost and remove it from its state.

Before version 0.4.0, the client library was not sending PINGs to the streaming server to detect connection failure. This was problematic especially if an application was never sending data (had only subscriptions for instance). Picture the case where a client connects to a NATS Server which has a route to a NATS Streaming server (either connecting to a standalone NATS Server or the server it embeds). If the connection between the streaming server and the client's NATS Server is broken, the client's NATS connection would still be ok, yet, no communication with the streaming server is possible. This is why relying on Conn.NatsConn() to check the status is not helpful.

Starting version 0.4.0 of this library and server 0.10.0, the client library will now send PINGs at regular intervals (default is 5 seconds) and will close the streaming connection after a certain number of PINGs have been sent without any response (default is 3). When that happens, a callback - if one is registered - will be invoked to notify the user that the connection is permanently lost, and the reason for the failure.

Here is how you would specify your own PING values and the callback:


    // Send PINGs every 10 seconds, and fail after 5 PINGs without any response.
    sc, err := stan.Connect(clusterName, clientName,
        stan.Pings(10, 5),    
        stan.SetConnectionLostHandler(func(_ stan.Conn, reason error) {
            log.Fatalf("Connection lost, reason: %v", reason)
        }))

Note that the only way to be notified is to set the callback. If the callback is not set, PINGs are still sent and the connection will be closed if needed, but the application won't know if it has only subscriptions.

When the connection is lost, your application would have to re-create it and all subscriptions if any.

When no NATS connection is provided to the Connect() call, the library creates its own NATS connection and will now set the reconnect attempts to "infinite", which was not the case before. It should therefore be possible for the library to always reconnect, but this does not mean that the streaming connection will not be closed, even if you set a very high threshold for the PINGs max out value. Keep in mind that while the client is disconnected, the server is sending heartbeats to the clients too, and when not getting any response, it will remove that client from its state. When the communication is restored, the PINGs sent to the server will allow to detect this condition and report to the client that the connection is now closed.

Also, while a client is "disconnected" from the server, another application with connectivity to the streaming server may connect and uses the same client ID. The server, when detecting the duplicate client ID, will try to contact the first client to know if it should reject the connect request of the second client. Since the communication between the server and the first client is broken, the server will not get a response and therefore will replace the first client with the second one.

Prior to client 0.4.0 and server 0.10.0, if the communication between the first client and server were to be restored, and the application would send messages, the server would accept those because the published messages client ID would be valid, although the client is not. With client at 0.4.0+ and server 0.10.0+, additional information is sent with each message to allow the server to reject messages from a client that has been replaced by another client.

Asynchronous Publishing

The basic publish API (Publish(subject, payload)) is synchronous; it does not return control to the caller until the NATS Streaming server has acknowledged receipt of the message. To accomplish this, a NUID is generated for the message on creation, and the client library waits for a publish acknowledgement from the server with a matching NUID before it returns control to the caller, possibly with an error indicating that the operation was not successful due to some server problem or authorization error.

Advanced users may wish to process these publish acknowledgements manually to achieve higher publish throughput by not waiting on individual acknowledgements during the publish operation. An asynchronous publish API is provided for this purpose:

    ackHandler := func(ackedNuid string, err error) {
        if err != nil {
            log.Printf("Warning: error publishing msg id %s: %v\n", ackedNuid, err.Error())
        } else {
            log.Printf("Received ack for msg id %s\n", ackedNuid)
        }
    }

    nuid, err := sc.PublishAsync("foo", []byte("Hello World"), ackHandler) // returns immediately
    if err != nil {
        log.Printf("Error publishing msg %s: %v\n", nuid, err.Error())
    }
Message Acknowledgements and Redelivery

NATS Streaming offers At-Least-Once delivery semantics, meaning that once a message has been delivered to an eligible subscriber, if an acknowledgement is not received within the configured timeout interval, NATS Streaming will attempt redelivery of the message. This timeout interval is specified by the subscription option AckWait, which defaults to 30 seconds.

By default, messages are automatically acknowledged by the NATS Streaming client library after the subscriber's message handler is invoked. However, there may be cases in which the subscribing client wishes to accelerate or defer acknowledgement of the message. To do this, the client must set manual acknowledgement mode on the subscription, and invoke Ack() on the Msg. ex:

// Subscribe with manual ack mode, and set AckWait to 60 seconds
aw, _ := time.ParseDuration("60s")
sub, err := sc.Subscribe("foo", func(m *stan.Msg) {
  m.Ack() // ack message before performing I/O intensive operation
  ///...
  fmt.Printf("Received a message: %s\n", string(m.Data))
}, stan.SetManualAckMode(), stan.AckWait(aw))

Rate limiting/matching

A classic problem of publish-subscribe messaging is matching the rate of message producers with the rate of message consumers. Message producers can often outpace the speed of the subscribers that are consuming their messages. This mismatch is commonly called a "fast producer/slow consumer" problem, and may result in dramatic resource utilization spikes in the underlying messaging system as it tries to buffer messages until the slow consumer(s) can catch up.

Publisher rate limiting

NATS Streaming provides a connection option called MaxPubAcksInflight that effectively limits the number of unacknowledged messages that a publisher may have in-flight at any given time. When this maximum is reached, further PublishAsync() calls will block until the number of unacknowledged messages falls below the specified limit. ex:

sc, _ := stan.Connect(clusterID, clientID, MaxPubAcksInflight(25))

ah := func(nuid string, err error) {
    // process the ack
    ...
}

for i := 1; i < 1000; i++ {
    // If the server is unable to keep up with the publisher, the number of outstanding acks will eventually
    // reach the max and this call will block
    guid, _ := sc.PublishAsync("foo", []byte("Hello World"), ah)
}
Subscriber rate limiting

Rate limiting may also be accomplished on the subscriber side, on a per-subscription basis, using a subscription option called MaxInflight. This option specifies the maximum number of outstanding acknowledgements (messages that have been delivered but not acknowledged) that NATS Streaming will allow for a given subscription. When this limit is reached, NATS Streaming will suspend delivery of messages to this subscription until the number of unacknowledged messages falls below the specified limit. ex:

// Subscribe with manual ack mode and a max in-flight limit of 25
sc.Subscribe("foo", func(m *stan.Msg) {
  fmt.Printf("Received message #: %s\n", string(m.Data))
  ...
  // Does not ack, or takes a very long time to ack
  ...
  // Message delivery will suspend when the number of unacknowledged messages reaches 25
}, stan.SetManualAckMode(), stan.MaxInflight(25))

Functions

This section is empty.

Types

type AckHandler 

type AckHandler func(string, error)

AckHandler is used for Async Publishing to provide status of the ack. The func will be passed the GUID and any error state. No error means the message was successfully received by NATS Streaming.

type Conn 

type Conn interface {
	// Publish will publish to the cluster and wait for an ACK.
	Publish(subject string, data []byte) error

	// PublishAsync will publish to the cluster and asynchronously process
	// the ACK or error state. It will return the GUID for the message being sent.
	PublishAsync(subject string, data []byte, ah AckHandler) (string, error)

	// Subscribe will perform a subscription with the given options to the cluster.
	//
	// If no option is specified, DefaultSubscriptionOptions are used. The default start
	// position is to receive new messages only (messages published after the subscription is
	// registered in the cluster).
	Subscribe(subject string, cb MsgHandler, opts ...SubscriptionOption) (Subscription, error)

	// QueueSubscribe will perform a queue subscription with the given options to the cluster.
	//
	// If no option is specified, DefaultSubscriptionOptions are used. The default start
	// position is to receive new messages only (messages published after the subscription is
	// registered in the cluster).
	QueueSubscribe(subject, qgroup string, cb MsgHandler, opts ...SubscriptionOption) (Subscription, error)

	// Close a connection to the cluster.
	//
	// If there are active subscriptions at the time of the close, they are implicitly closed
	// (not unsubscribed) by the cluster. This means that durable subscriptions are maintained.
	//
	// The wait on asynchronous publish calls are canceled and ErrConnectionClosed will be
	// reported to the registered AckHandler. It is possible that the cluster received and
	// persisted these messages.
	//
	// If a NATS connection is provided as an option to the Connect() call, the NATS
	// connection is NOT closed when this call is invoked. This connection needs to be
	// managed by the application.
	Close() error

	// NatsConn returns the underlying NATS conn. Use this with care. For
	// example, closing the wrapped NATS conn will put the NATS Streaming Conn
	// in an invalid state.
	NatsConn() *nats.Conn
}

Conn represents a connection to the NATS Streaming subsystem. It can Publish and Subscribe to messages within the NATS Streaming cluster.

func Connect 

func Connect(stanClusterID, clientID string, options ...Option) (Conn, error)

Connect will form a connection to the NATS Streaming subsystem. Note that clientID can contain only alphanumeric and `-` or `_` characters.

type ConnectionLostHandler added in v0.4.0 

type ConnectionLostHandler func(Conn, error)

ConnectionLostHandler is used to be notified if the Streaming connection is closed due to unexpected errors.

type Msg 

type Msg struct {
	pb.MsgProto // MsgProto: Seq, Subject, Reply[opt], Data, Timestamp, CRC32[opt]
	Sub         Subscription
}

Msg is the client defined message, which includes proto, then back link to subscription.

func (*Msg) Ack 

func (msg *Msg) Ack() error

Ack manually acknowledges a message. The subscriber had to be created with SetManualAckMode() option.

type MsgHandler 

type MsgHandler func(msg *Msg)

MsgHandler is a callback function that processes messages delivered to asynchronous subscribers.

type Option 

type Option func(*Options) error

Option is a function on the options for a connection.

func ConnectWait 

func ConnectWait(t time.Duration) Option

ConnectWait is an Option to set the timeout for establishing a connection.

func MaxPubAcksInflight added in v0.2.0 

func MaxPubAcksInflight(max int) Option

MaxPubAcksInflight is an Option to set the maximum number of published messages without outstanding ACKs from the server.

func NatsConn 

func NatsConn(nc *nats.Conn) Option

NatsConn is an Option to set the underlying NATS connection to be used by a streaming connection object. When such option is set, closing the streaming connection does not close the provided NATS connection.

func NatsURL added in v0.2.0 

func NatsURL(u string) Option

NatsURL is an Option to set the URL the client should connect to. The url can contain username/password semantics. e.g. nats://derek:pass@localhost:4222 Comma separated arrays are also supported, e.g. urlA, urlB.

func Pings added in v0.4.0 

func Pings(interval, maxOut int) Option

Pings is an Option to set the ping interval and max out values. The interval needs to be at least 1 and represents the number of seconds. The maxOut needs to be at least 2, since the count of sent PINGs increase whenever a PING is sent and reset to 0 when a response is received. Setting to 1 would cause the library to close the connection right away.

func PubAckWait 

func PubAckWait(t time.Duration) Option

PubAckWait is an Option to set the timeout for waiting for an ACK for a published message.

func SetConnectionLostHandler added in v0.4.0 

func SetConnectionLostHandler(handler ConnectionLostHandler) Option

SetConnectionLostHandler is an Option to set the connection lost handler. This callback will be invoked should the client permanently lose contact with the server (or another client replaces it while being disconnected). The callback will not be invoked on normal Conn.Close().

type Options 

type Options struct {
	// NatsURL is an URL (or comma separated list of URLs) to a node or nodes
	// in the cluster.
	NatsURL string

	// NatsConn is a user provided low-level NATS connection that the streaming
	// connection will use to communicate with the cluster. When set, closing

	// the supplied NATS connection.
	NatsConn *nats.Conn

	// ConnectTimeout is the timeout for the initial Connect(). This value is also
	// used for some of the internal request/replies with the cluster.
	ConnectTimeout time.Duration

	// AckTimeout is how long to wait when a message is published for an ACK from
	// the cluster. If the library does not receive an ACK after this timeout,
	// the Publish() call (or the AckHandler) will return ErrTimeout.
	AckTimeout time.Duration

	// DiscoverPrefix is the prefix connect requests are sent to for this cluster.
	// The default is "_STAN.discover".
	DiscoverPrefix string

	// MaxPubAcksInflight specifies how many messages can be published without
	// getting ACKs back from the cluster before the Publish() or PublishAsync()
	// calls block.
	MaxPubAcksInflight int

	// PingInterval is the interval at which client sends PINGs to the server
	// to detect the loss of a connection.
	PingIterval int

	// PingMaxOut specifies the maximum number of PINGs without a corresponding
	// PONG before declaring the connection permanently lost.
	PingMaxOut int

	// ConnectionLostCB specifies the handler to be invoked when the connection
	// is permanently lost.
	ConnectionLostCB ConnectionLostHandler
}

Options can be used to a create a customized connection.

type Subscription 

type Subscription interface {
	// Unsubscribe removes interest in the subscription.
	// For durables, it means that the durable interest is also removed from
	// the server. Restarting a durable with the same name will not resume
	// the subscription, it will be considered a new one.
	Unsubscribe() error

	// Close removes this subscriber from the server, but unlike Unsubscribe(),
	// the durable interest is not removed. If the client has connected to a server
	// for which this feature is not available, Close() will return a ErrNoServerSupport
	// error.
	Close() error

	// ClearMaxPending resets the maximums seen so far.
	ClearMaxPending() error

	// Delivered returns the number of delivered messages for the internal low-level NATS subscription.
	Delivered() (int64, error)

	// Dropped returns the number of known dropped messages for the internal low-level NATS subscription.
	// This will correspond to messages dropped by violations of PendingLimits. If the server declares
	// the connection a SlowConsumer, this number may not be valid.
	Dropped() (int, error)

	// IsValid returns a boolean indicating whether the internal low-level NATS subscription is still active.
	// This will return false if the subscription has already been closed.
	IsValid() bool

	// MaxPending returns the maximum number of queued messages and queued bytes seen so far for the internal
	// low-level NATS subscription.
	MaxPending() (int, int, error)

	// Pending returns the number of queued messages and queued bytes in the client for the internal
	// low-level NATS subscription.
	Pending() (int, int, error)

	// PendingLimits returns the current limits for the internal low-level NATS subscription. If no error is
	// returned, a negative value indicates that the given metric is not limited.
	PendingLimits() (int, int, error)

	// SetPendingLimits sets the limits for pending msgs and bytes for the internal low-level NATS Subscription.
	// Zero is not allowed. Any negative value means that the given metric is not limited.
	SetPendingLimits(msgLimit, bytesLimit int) error
}
