Most up-to-date location

• While the source code might be included as a zip file from the Manning website, the location that will likely be the most up-to-date will be located at https://github.com/Kafka-In-Action-Book/Kafka-In-Action-Source-Code. The authors recommend referring to that site rather than the Manning zip location if you have a choice.

Errata

• If you happen to find errata, one option is to look at: https://github.com/Kafka-In-Action-Book/Kafka-In-Action-Source-Code/blob/master/errata.md
• This is not the official Manning site errata list for the book - but please feel free to create a pull request to share any errata that you wish to share to help others.

Security Concerns

• Please check out the following to stay up-to-date on any security issues. The code in this project is NOT production ready and dependencies might have VULNERABILITIES that evolve over time.

Notes

Here are some notes regarding the source code:

1. Select shell commands will be presented in a Markdown format in a file called Commands.md or in AsciiDoc called Commands.adoc for each Chapter folder if there are any commands selected in that chapter.
2. Not all commands and snippets of code are included here that were in the book material. As a beginner book, some sections were meant only to give an idea of the general process and not complete examples.

Requirements

This project was built with the following versions:

1. Java 11
2. Apache Maven 3.6.x. We provide Maven Wrapper, so you don't need to install Maven yourself.

How to build

Run following command in the root of this project to build all examples:

./mvnw verify 

Run following command in the root of this project to build specific example. For example, to build only example from Chapter 12 run:

./mvnw --projects KafkaInAction_Chapter12 verify

IDE setup

1. We have used Eclipse for our IDE. To set up for eclipse run mvn eclipse:eclipse from the base directory of this repo. Or, you can Import->Existing Maven Projects.

Installing Kafka

Run the following in a directory (without spaces in the path) once you get the artifact downloaded. Refer to Appendix A if needed.

tar -xzf kafka_2.13-2.7.1.tgz
cd kafka_2.13-2.7.1

Running Kafka

1. To start Kafka go to /kafka_2.13-2.7.1/

2. Run bin/zookeeper-server-start.sh config/zookeeper.properties

3. Modify the Kafka server configs

   cp config/server.properties config/server0.properties
   cp config/server.properties config/server1.properties
   cp config/server.properties config/server2.properties
   

   vi config/server0.properties

   broker.id=0
   listeners=PLAINTEXT://localhost:9092
   log.dirs=/tmp/kafkainaction/kafka-logs-0
   

   vi config/server1.properties

   broker.id=1
   listeners=PLAINTEXT://localhost:9093
   log.dirs=/tmp/kafkainaction/kafka-logs-1
   

   vi config/server2.properties

   broker.id=2
   listeners=PLAINTEXT://localhost:9094
   log.dirs=/tmp/kafkainaction/kafka-logs-2
   

4. Start the Kafka Brokers:

    bin/kafka-server-start.sh config/server0.properties
    bin/kafka-server-start.sh config/server1.properties
    bin/kafka-server-start.sh config/server2.properties

Stopping Kafka

1. To stop Kafka go to the Kafka directory install location
2. Run bin/kafka-server-stop.sh
3. Run bin/zookeeper-server-stop.sh

Code by Chapter

Most of the code from the book can be found in the project corresponding to the chapter. Some code has been moved to other chapters in order to reduce the number of replication of related classes.

Running the examples

Most of the example programs can be run from within an IDE or from the command line. Make sure that your ZooKeeper and Kafka Brokers are up and running before you can run any of the examples.

The examples will usually write out to topics and print to the console.

Shell Scripts

In the Chapter 2 project, we have included a couple of scripts if you want to use them under src/main/resources.

They include:

• starteverything.sh //This will start your ZooKeeper and Kafka Brokers (you will still have to go through the first time setup with Appendix A before using this.)
• stopeverything.sh // Will stop ZooKeeper and your brokers
• portInUse.sh // If you get a port in use error on startup, this script will kill all of the processes using those ports (assuming you are using the same ports as in Appendix A setup).
