RocketMQ Operator is to manage RocketMQ service instances deployed on the Kubernetes cluster. It is built using the Operator SDK, which is part of the Operator Framework.
- Clone the project on your Kubernetes cluster master node:
$ git clone https://github.com/apache/rocketmq-operator.git
$ cd rocketmq-operator
- To deploy the RocketMQ Operator on your Kubernetes cluster, please run the following script:
$ ./install-operator.sh
- Use command
kubectl get podsto check the RocketMQ Operator deploy status like:
$ kubectl get pods
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
rocketmq-operator-564b5d75d-jllzk 1/1 Running 0 108s
Now you can use the CRDs provide by RocketMQ Operator to deploy your RocketMQ cluster.
Before RocketMQ deployment, you may need to do some preparation steps for RocketMQ data persistence.
Currently we provide several options for your RocketMQ data persistence: EmptyDir, HostPath and NFS, which can be configured in CR files, for example in rocketmq_v1alpha1_nameservice_cr.yaml:
...
# storageMode can be EmptyDir, HostPath, NFS
storageMode: HostPath
...
If you choose EmptyDir, you don't need to do extra preparation steps for data persistence. But the data storage life is the same with the pod's life, if the pod is deleted you may lost the data.
If you choose other storage modes, please refer to the following instructions to prepare the data persistence.
This storage mode means the RocketMQ data (including all the logs and store files) is stored in each host where the pod lies on. In that case you need to create an dir where you want the RocketMQ data to be stored on.
We provide a script in deploy/storage/hostpath/prepare-host-path.sh, which you can use to create the HostPath dir on every worker node of your Kubernetes cluster.
$ cd deploy/storage/hostpath
$ sudo su
$ ./prepare-hostpath.sh
Changed hostPath /data/rocketmq/nameserver uid to 3000, gid to 3000
Changed hostPath /data/rocketmq/broker uid to 3000, gid to 3000
You may refer to the instructions in the script for more information.
If you choose NFS as the storage mode, the first step is to prepare a storage class based on NFS provider to create PV and PVC where the RocketMQ data will be stored.
-
Deploy NFS server and clients on your Kubernetes cluster. You can refer to NFS deployment document for more details. Please make sure they are functional before you go to the next step. Here is a instruction on how to verify NFS service.
- On your NFS client node, check if NFS shared dir exists.
$ showmount -e 192.168.130.32 Export list for 192.168.130.32: /data/k8s *- On your NFS client node, create a test dir and mount it to the NFS shared dir (you may need sudo permission).
$ mkdir -p ~/test-nfc $ mount -t nfs 192.168.130.32:/data/k8s ~/test-nfc- On your NFS client node, create a test file on the mounted test dir.
$ touch ~/test-nfc/test.txt- On your NFS server node, check the shared dir. If there exists the test file we created on the client node, it proves the NFS service is functional.
$ ls -ls /data/k8s/ total 4 4 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 4 Jul 10 21:50 test.txt -
Modify the following configurations of the
deploy/storage/nfs-client.yamlfile:
...
- name: NFS_SERVER
value: 192.168.130.32
- name: NFS_PATH
value: /data/k8s
volumes:
- name: nfs-client-root
nfs:
server: 192.168.130.32
path: /data/k8s
...
Replace 192.168.130.32 and /data/k8s with your true NFS server IP address and NFS server data volume path.
- Create a NFS storage class for RocketMQ, run
$ cd deploy/storage
$ ./deploy-storage-class.sh
- If the storage class is successfully deployed, you can get the pod status like:
$ kubectl get pods
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
nfs-client-provisioner-7cf858f754-7vxmm 1/1 Running 0 136m
rocketmq-operator-564b5d75d-jllzk 1/1 Running 0 108s
RocketMQ Operator provides several CRDs to allow users define their RocketMQ service component cluster, which includes the Name Server cluster and the Broker cluster.
- Check the file
rocketmq_v1alpha1_nameservice_cr.yamlin theexampledirectory, for example:
apiVersion: rocketmq.apache.org/v1alpha1
kind: NameService
metadata:
name: name-service
spec:
# size is the the name service instance number of the name service cluster
size: 1
# nameServiceImage is the customized docker image repo of the RocketMQ name service
nameServiceImage: apacherocketmq/rocketmq-namesrv:4.5.0-alpine
# imagePullPolicy is the image pull policy
imagePullPolicy: Always
# storageMode can be EmptyDir, HostPath, NFS
storageMode: HostPath
# hostPath is the local path to store data
hostPath: /data/rocketmq/nameserver

which defines the RocketMQ name service (name server) cluster scale.
- Check the file
rocketmq_v1alpha1_broker_cr.yamlin theexampledirectory, for example:
apiVersion: rocketmq.apache.org/v1alpha1
kind: Broker
metadata:
# name of broker cluster
name: broker

which defines the RocketMQ broker cluster scale, the [ip:port] list of name service and so on.
- Deploy the RocketMQ name service cluster by running:
$ kubectl apply -f example/rocketmq_v1alpha1_nameservice_cr.yaml
nameservice.rocketmq.apache.org/name-service created
Check the status:
$ kubectl get pods -owide
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE IP NODE NOMINATED NODE READINESS GATES
name-service-0 1/1 Running 0 3m18s 192.168.130.33 k2data-13 <none> <none>

rocketmq-operator-564b5d75d-jllzk 1/1 Running 0 5m53s 10.244.2.116 k2data-14 <none> <none>
We can see that there are 1 name service Pods running on 1 nodes and their IP addresses. Modify the nameServers field in the rocketmq_v1alpha1_broker_cr.yaml file using the IP addresses.
- Deploy the RocketMQ broker clusters by running:
$ kubectl apply -f example/rocketmq_v1alpha1_broker_cr.yaml
broker.rocketmq.apache.org/broker created
After a while the Broker Containers will be created, the Kubernetes clusters status should be like:
$ kubectl get pods -owide

Notice: if you don't choose the NFS storage mode, then the above PV and PVC won't be created.
Congratulations! You have successfully deployed your RocketMQ cluster by RocketMQ Operator.
Access on any node which contains the RocketMQ service pod, check the hostPath you configured, for example:
$ ls /data/rocketmq/broker
logs store
$ cat /data/rocketmq/broker/logs/broker-1-replica-1/rocketmqlogs/broker.log
...

If the current name service cluster scale does not fit your requirements, you can simply use RocketMQ-Operator to up-scale or down-scale your name service cluster.
If you want to enlarge your name service cluster. Modify your name service CR file rocketmq_v1alpha1_nameservice_cr.yaml, increase the field size to the number you want, for example, from size: 1 to size: 2.
Notice: if your broker image version is 4.5.0 or earlier, you need to make sure that
allowRestart: trueis set in the broker CR file to enable rolling restart policy. IfallowRestart: false, configure it toallowRestart: trueand runkubectl apply -f example/rocketmq_v1alpha1_broker_cr.yamlto apply the new config.
After configuring the size fields, simply run
kubectl apply -f example/rocketmq_v1alpha1_nameservice_cr.yaml
Then a new name service pod will be deployed and meanwhile the operator will inform all the brokers to update their name service list parameters, so they can register to the new name service.
Notice: under the policy
allowRestart: true, the broker will gradually be updated so the update process is also not perceptible to the producer and consumer clients.
It is often the case that with the development of your business, the old broker cluster scale no longer meets your needs. You can simply use RocketMQ-Operator to up-scale your broker cluster:
-
Modify the
sizein the broker CR file to the number that you want the broker cluster scale will be, for example, fromsize: 1tosize: 2. -
Choose the source broker pod, from which the old metadata like topic and subscription information data will be transferred to the newly created brokers. The source broker pod field is
...
# scalePodName is broker-[broker group number]-master-0
scalePodName: broker-0-master-0
...
- Apply the new configurations:
kubectl apply -f example/rocketmq_v1alpha1_broker_cr.yaml
Then a new broker group of pods will be deployed and meanwhile the operator will copy the metadata from the source broker pod to the newly created broker pods before the new brokers are stared, so the new brokers will reload previous topic and subscription information.
Topic Transfer means that the user wants to migrate the work of providing service for a specific topic from a source(original) cluster to a target cluster without affecting the business. This may happen when the source cluster is about to shutdown, or the user wants to reduce the workload on the source cluster.
Usually the Topic Transfer process consists of 7 steps:
-
Add all consumer groups of the topic to the target cluster.
-
Add the topic to be transferred to the target cluster.
-
Forbid new message writing into the source cluster.
-
Check the consumer group consumption progress to make sure all messages in the source cluster have been consumed.
-
Delete the topic in the source cluster when all messages in the source cluster have been consumed.
-
Delete the consumer groups in the source cluster.
-
Add the retry-topic to the target cluster.
The TopicTransfer CRD can help you do that. Simply configure the CR file example/rocketmq_v1alpha1_topictransfer_cr.yaml:
apiVersion: rocketmq.apache.org/v1alpha1
kind: TopicTransfer
metadata:
name: topictransfer
spec:
# topic defines which topic to be transferred
topic: TopicTest
# sourceCluster define the source cluster
sourceCluster: broker-0
# targetCluster defines the target cluster
targetCluster: broker-1
Then apply the TopicTransfer resource:
$ kubectl apply -f example/rocketmq_v1alpha1_topictransfer_cr.yaml
The operator will automatically do the topic transfer job.
If the transfer process is failed, the operator will roll-back the transfer operations for the atomicity of the TopicTransfer operation.
You can check the operator logs or consume progress status to monitor and verify the topic transfer process:
$ kubectl logs -f [operator-pod-name]
$ sh bin/mqadmin consumerprogress -g [consumer-group] -n [name-server-ip]:9876
If you want to tear down the RocketMQ cluster, to remove the broker clusters run
$ kubectl delete -f example/rocketmq_v1alpha1_broker_cr.yaml
to remove the name service clusters:
$ kubectl delete -f example/rocketmq_v1alpha1_nameservice_cr.yaml
to remove the RocketMQ Operator:
$ ./purge-operator.sh
to remove the storage class for RocketMQ:
$ cd deploy/storage
$ ./remove-storage-class.sh
Note: the NFS and HostPath persistence data will not be deleted by default.

For developers who want to build and push the operator-related images to the docker hub, please follow the instructions below.
RocketMQ-Operator uses operator-sdk to generate the scaffolding and build the operator image. You can refer to the operator-sdk user guide for more details.
If you want to push the newly build operator image to your own docker hub, please modify the DOCKERHUB_REPO variable in the create-operator.sh script using your own repository. Then run the build script:
$ ./create-operator.sh
RocketMQ-Operator is based on customized images of Broker and Name Server, which are build by build-broker-image.sh and build-namesrv-image.sh respectively. Therefore, the images used in the Broker and NameService CR yaml files should be build by these scripts.
You can also modify the DOCKERHUB_REPO variable in the scripts to push the newly build images to your own repository:
$ cd images/broker
$ ./build-broker-image.sh
$ cd images/namesrv
$ ./build-namesrv-image.sh
Note: for users who just want to use the operator, there is no need to build the operator and customized broker and name server images themselves. Users can simply use the default official images which are maintained by the RocketMQ community.
