Kafka Implementation in Java

We can implement kafka in java. Follow the below steps for the same.

Step 1: create Java Project in Eclipse. Create two classes TestProducer.java and SimplePartitioner.java respectively

Step 2 : Add all the jars from the location  $KAFKA_HOME/libs

Step 3 : Create a topic in kafka (Follow steps in the link if you do not know how to create https://datariddle.wordpress.com/big-data/kafka/)

Writting Producer :

Step 1 : Create class TestProducer.java and add the following code. change topicname (in bold) with the one you created in above step.

import java.util.*;

import kafka.javaapi.producer.Producer;
import kafka.producer.KeyedMessage;
import kafka.producer.ProducerConfig;

public class TestProducer {
public static void main(String[] args) {
//long events = Long.parseLong(args[0]);
long events = 100000;
Random rnd = new Random();

Properties props = new Properties();
props.put(“metadata.broker.list”, “localhost:9092”);
props.put(“serializer.class”, “kafka.serializer.StringEncoder”);
props.put(“partitioner.class”, “SimplePartitioner”);
props.put(“request.required.acks”, “1”);

ProducerConfig config = new ProducerConfig(props);

Producer<String, String> producer = new Producer<String, String>(config);

for (long nEvents = 0; nEvents < events; nEvents++) {
long runtime = new Date().getTime();
String ip = “192.168.2.” + rnd.nextInt(255);
String msg = nEvents +” “+ runtime + “,www.datariddle.com,” + ip;

KeyedMessage<String, String> data = new KeyedMessage<String, String>(“topicname“, ip, msg);
producer.send(data);
}
producer.close();
}
}

Step 2 : Create class SimplePartitioner.java and add the following code

import kafka.producer.Partitioner;
import kafka.utils.VerifiableProperties;

public class SimplePartitioner implements Partitioner {
public SimplePartitioner (VerifiableProperties props) {

}

public int partition(Object key, int a_numPartitions) {
int partition = 0;
String stringKey = (String) key;
int offset = stringKey.lastIndexOf(‘.’);
if (offset > 0) {
partition = Integer.parseInt( stringKey.substring(offset+1)) % a_numPartitions;
}
return partition;
}

}

Writting Consumer : 

Step 1 : Create class SimplePartitioner.java and add the following code.  change topicname (in bold) with the one you created in above step.

import kafka.api.FetchRequest;
import kafka.api.FetchRequestBuilder;
import kafka.api.PartitionOffsetRequestInfo;
import kafka.common.ErrorMapping;

Running the Code

First run consumer and then run Producer. You will see the messages from producer at the consumer end.
