Jruby::Kafka
Prerequisites
-
Apache Kafka version 0.8.1.1 installed and running.
-
JRuby installed.
About
This gem is primarily used to wrap most of the Kafka 0.8.1.1 high level consumer and Kafka 0.8.1.1 producer API into jruby. The Kafka Consumer Group Example is pretty much ported to this library.
Installation
This package is now distributed via RubyGems.org but you can build it using the following instructions.
From the root of the project run:
$ rake package
You can run the following to install the resulting package:
$ gem install jruby-kafka*.gem
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'jruby-kafka'
Usage
If you want to run the tests, make sure you already have downloaded Kafka 0.8.X, followed the kafka quickstart instructions and have KAFKA_PATH set in the environment.
Using in irb
make a producer
jar_dir = "path/to/dir/with/kafka/jars"
include Java
Dir.glob(File.join(jar_dir, "*.jar")) { |jar|
$CLASSPATH << jar
}
require 'jruby-kafka'
producer_options = {:topic_id => "test", :broker_list => "localhost:9092"}
producer = Kafka::Producer.new(producer_options)
producer.connect()
producer.sendMsg(nil, "here's a test")
then a consumer
include Java
Dir.glob(File.join(jar_dir, "*.jar")) { |jar|
$CLASSPATH << jar
}
require 'jruby-kafka'
queue = SizedQueue.new(20)
group = Kafka::Group.new(options)
group.run(1,queue)
Java::JavaLang::Thread.sleep 3000
#just gets first 20 things & prints out
until queue.empty?
puts(queue.pop)
end
group.shutdown()
