Editor's Notes
- \n
- built by linkedin to process + store high-volume activity stream data, but its really a general use messaging system...\n\n
- at it’s heart, its a pub-sub messaging system...\n
- It starts with a broker\n
- Publishers connect to the broker\n
- and send their messages, \n
- So we connect some consumers and they can pull messages.\n\nnote when they connect, we’ll receive all messages for a topic, not just since they’ve connected more on that later...\n
- but its also distributed, which is to say...\n
- we can have multiple brokers in multiple places and aggregate together...\n\ninternally we can also partition within topics to allow parallel consumption, but thats for another talk...\n
- before we get into what makes it particularly different (persistence), its useful to understand some of the engineering decisions behind how it works.\n\nperformance is interesting because the behaviour of disks / memory has informed the way kafka has been built to embrace disk persistence\n
- research from an ACM paper\n\nvalues/sec is the number of 4-byte integer values read per second from a 1-billion-long array on disk and in memory\n\nnumber of four-byte integer values read per second from a 1-billion-long (4 GB) array on disk or in memory\n\nuses the OS’s default page caching, rather than using custom in-memory stores\ngiven all disk writes/reads will be cached\nmeans we can avoid paying the caching overhead of objects within the JVM\n\nrather than maintaining everything in memory and flush when necessary\neverything is written immediately\n\nconfigurable flushing determines how much data is at risk\n\nsimilar to varnish\n

- it starts with a topic, a text description for the messages contained within. we use it to describe how to deserialize the message bytes\n
- so we send a message to the topic, what happens?\n
- kafka creates a file\nand it persists the message, which is to say it hands it off to the O/S to write\n\nfiles are just sets of bytes, nothing clever\n\ninternally it abstracts the collection of message bytes into a messageset, which is then backed by a file\n\nso what does each message look like...\n
- so, our message length is n - 9 bytes\n\nwith a 91 byte payload we have a 100 byte message.\n\nwhich means our next message would start at offset 100\n
- and we can see our offsets at the bottom...\n
- so we have the offsets which lets us send all messages to consumers, not just those that were sent after they connected... \n
- up to the consumer to remember what they’ve consumed, but means you can re-consume an entire set of messages easily, which is very useful when integrating with long-term storage like HDFS...\n\nquick look at the way it works\n
- \nour input to the hadoop job is a token file that specifies the offset to read from, the topic etc.\n\nhaving read the token, the mapper connects, and consumes messages from a given offset\n\nthe mapper outputs 2 sets of data- the mapped output, such as the message payloads, and an updated token file with the last read offset.\n\nthis is the key, successful completion of the job results in new metadata for the next run and the output data\n\nmeans that if the job fails we can re-run and it’ll consume from the last consumed offset\n
- the newly created output becomes the next input\n
- and this is why kafka is an interesting messaging system\n\nsuitable for batch and realtime\n
