Kafka简介及基本原理与使用场景

Apache Kafka是分布式发布-订阅消息系统。它最初由LinkedIn公司开发，之后成为Apache项目的一部分。Kafka是一种快速、可扩展的、设计内在就是分布式的，分区的和可复制的提交日志服务。

现在很多开源分布式系统，例如Flume(数据实时分析)，Storm(数据实时处理)，Spark(内存数据处理)，elasticsearch(全文检索)
几种分布式系统的对比

上图介绍到的动态扩容，kafka目前是通过zookeeper来实现动态扩容的。zookeeper：一个提供分布式状态管理，分布式配置管理，分布式锁服务的集群。

AMQP协议

kafka借鉴AMQP协议进行开发
基本概念

 

• 消费者(Consumer)：从消息队列中请求消息的客户端应用程序
• 生产者(Producer)：向Broker发布消息的客户端应用程序。
• AMQP服务器端(Broker)：用于接收生产者发送的消息并将消息路由给服务器中队列。
• 话题（Topic）：是特定类型的消息流。消息是字节的有效负载（Payload），话题是消息的分类名或种子（Feed）名。类似新闻中的体育，娱乐，教育等概念。实际应用中往往一个业务一个主题。
• 分区(Partition)：topic中的消息按照分区来进行组织。其是kafka消息队列组织的最小单位，一个分区可以看作一个FIFO队列。
  
  
  

   
• 备份(Replication)：为了保证分布式高可靠性，kafka0.8开始对每个分区数据进行备份，防止一个Broker宕机导致分区数据中数据不可用

zookeeper配置

配置zookeeper需要先配置JAVA_HOME，注意下JAVA_HOME的配置方法如下：

JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk1.8
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

一般将系统的环境变量PATH写在后面，因为系统读取环境变量是从前往后找的，如果PATH中本来已经配置了JAVA_HOME，那么将其放在后面可以让我们配置的JAVA_HOME优先被读取到。
配置完java的环境变量后，需要配置zookeeper的conf/目录下的zoo.cfg文件。将zoo_sample.cfg拷贝为zoo.cfg后，修改内容为下：

# The number of milliseconds of each tick
# 即下面计时方式的单位
tickTime=2000
# The number of ticks that the initial 
# synchronization phase can take
# 20S，即这个时间内，集群中的机器都要启动
initLimit=10
# The number of ticks that can pass between 
# sending a request and getting an acknowledgement
# leader发送给follower的心跳超时时间
syncLimit=5
# the directory where the snapshot is stored.
# do not use /tmp for storage, /tmp here is just 
# example sakes.
# 设置了zookeeper的dataDir以及DataLogDir，注意下这两个目录不要设
# 置为同一个，那样的话会影响到zookeeper的性能。
dataDir=/home/eversilver/silverTest/kafka/zkData
# 这里存放的是zookeeper的事务日志，一般很多，需要定期的去清理，否
# 则产生很多垃圾，拖慢响应速度。官方文档只给出了具体的清理方法
dataLogDir=/home/eversilver/silverTest/kafka/zookeeper/zkLog
# the port at which the clients will connect
clientPort=2181
# the maximum number of client connections.
# increase this if you need to handle more clients
#maxClientCnxns=60
#
# Be sure to read the maintenance section of the 
# administrator guide before turning on autopurge.
#
# http://zookeeper.apache.org/doc/current/zookeeperAdmin.html#sc_maintenance
#
# The number of snapshots to retain in dataDir
#autopurge.snapRetainCount=3
# Purge task interval in hours
# Set to "0" to disable auto purge feature
#autopurge.purgeInterval=1
# 设置zookeeper的服务器集群，集群一般设置为基数台，当前机器对应
# 的集群id为1，有几台机器就配置几行，这里有三台机器。
# 机器名称=机器IP:leader与follower之间通信端口:leader选举的端口
# 注意，所以集群中的机器上面的端口应该对应相同
server.1=192.168.142.133:12888:13888
server.2=192.168.142.134:12888:13888
server.3=192.168.142.135:12888:13888

cfg文件配置完成后，在cfg文件中的dataDir目录下新建一个myid文件，代表当前机器的id，这个id与上面server.后面的值相同即可：

eversilver@debian:/usr/local/zookeeper$ cat ~/silverTest/kafka/zookeeper/zkData/myid 
1

然后即可启动本机，有几台机器即启动几台：

eversilver@debian:/usr/local/zookeeper$ ./bin/zkServer.sh start
ZooKeeper JMX enabled by default
Using config: /usr/local/zookeeper/bin/../conf/zoo.cfg
Starting zookeeper ... STARTED
eversilver@debian:/usr/local/zookeeper$ jps
25846 Jps
25822 QuorumPeerMain
eversilver@debian:/usr/local/zookeeper$

这里启动了三台虚拟机上的zookeeper，可以通过zkServer.sh status来查看zookeeper运行状态

# debian
eversilver@debian:/usr/local/zookeeper$ ./bin/zkServer.sh status
/usr/local/jdk1.8/bin/java
ZooKeeper JMX enabled by default
Using config: /usr/local/zookeeper/bin/../conf/zoo.cfg
Client port found: 2181. Client address: localhost.
Mode: follower

#debian2
eversilver@debian:/usr/local/zookeeper$ ./bin/zkServer.sh status
/usr/local/jdk1.8/bin/java
ZooKeeper JMX enabled by default
Using config: /usr/local/zookeeper/bin/../conf/zoo.cfg
Client port found: 2181. Client address: localhost.
Mode: leader

#debian3
eversilver@debian:/usr/local/zookeeper$ ./bin/zkServer.sh status
/usr/local/jdk1.8/bin/java
ZooKeeper JMX enabled by default
Using config: /usr/local/zookeeper/bin/../conf/zoo.cfg
Client port found: 2181. Client address: localhost.
Mode: follower

上面三台机器中，debian2机器被选作了leader
leader主要作用是从客户端接受并且响应请求
follower的主要作用:从leader同步数据，再leader关闭时，进行投票选举出集群中的新的leader

集群搭建中的几个重要的文件分别为：
myid文件：用于zookeeper机器间互相发现彼此
zoo.cfg：集群配置文件
log4j.properties文件：zk集群的日志输出文件，同样在conf目录下
zkEnv.sh以及zkServer.sh：分别用于启动环境配置以及集群启动

注意，/bin目录下的zkCleanUp.sh脚本可以快速的对zookeeper生成的日志进行清理，这里使用crontab定期执行其来进行清理。
crontab -l来查看定时任务是否存在，crontab -e对其进行编辑。这里编辑如下。其中主要需要进行配置的配置项有broker.id,port,hostname,log.dirs,numpartitions, message.max.bytes,default,replication.factor,replica.fetch.max.bytes以及zookeeper.connect

eversilver@debian:/usr/local/zookeeper$ crontab -e
# 分别代表分钟，小时，月，年，星期几，命令选项
0 0 * * 0 /usr/local/zookeeper/zkCleanup.sh

kafka集群搭建

解压缩完成kafka后，打开配置文件server.properties.配置完成的的文件如下所示。

# see kafka.server.KafkaConfig for additional details and defaults

############################# Server Basics #############################

# The id of the broker. This must be set to a unique integer for each broker.
# 类似zookeeper的myid字段
broker.id=1

# Switch to enable topic deletion or not, default value is false
#delete.topic.enable=true

############################# Socket Server Settings #############################

# The address the socket server listens on. It will get the value returned from 
# java.net.InetAddress.getCanonicalHostName() if not configured.
#   FORMAT:
#     listeners = security_protocol://host_name:port
#   EXAMPLE:
#     listeners = PLAINTEXT://your.host.name:9092
#listeners=PLAINTEXT://:9092


# Hostname and port the broker will advertise to producers and consumers. If not set, 
# it uses the value for "listeners" if configured.  Otherwise, it will use the value
# returned from java.net.InetAddress.getCanonicalHostName().
#advertised.listeners=PLAINTEXT://your.host.name:9092
port=19092
host.name=192.168.128.128
# The number of threads handling network requests
num.network.threads=3

# The number of threads doing disk I/O
# 设置成多个的时候一般下面的logDir也设置成多个，这样一个线程处理一个目录，性能会好很多
# 注意下面的多个目录往往以逗号来分割
num.io.threads=8

# The send buffer (SO_SNDBUF) used by the socket server，主要为了提高性能
socket.send.buffer.bytes=102400

# The receive buffer (SO_RCVBUF) used by the socket server
socket.receive.buffer.bytes=102400

# The maximum size of a request that the socket server will accept (protection against OOM)
# 这个数不能超过java的堆栈大小
socket.request.max.bytes=104857600


############################# Log Basics #############################

# A comma seperated list of directories under which to store log files
log.dirs=/home/eversilver/silverTest/kafka/kafka/kafkaLogs

# The default number of log partitions per topic. More partitions allow greater
# parallelism for consumption, but this will also result in more files across
# the brokers.
# topic分区数
num.partitions=2

# The number of threads per data directory to be used for log recovery at startup and flushing at shutdown.
# This value is recommended to be increased for installations with data dirs located in RAID array.
num.recovery.threads.per.data.dir=1

############################# Log Flush Policy #############################

# Messages are immediately written to the filesystem but by default we only fsync() to sync
# the OS cache lazily. The following configurations control the flush of data to disk.
# There are a few important trade-offs here:
#    1. Durability: Unflushed data may be lost if you are not using replication.
#    2. Latency: Very large flush intervals may lead to latency spikes when the flush does occur as there will be a lot of data to flush.
#    3. Throughput: The flush is generally the most expensive operation, and a small flush interval may lead to exceessive seeks.
# The settings below allow one to configure the flush policy to flush data after a period of time or
# every N messages (or both). This can be done globally and overridden on a per-topic basis.

# The number of messages to accept before forcing a flush of data to disk
#log.flush.interval.messages=10000

# The maximum amount of time a message can sit in a log before we force a flush
#log.flush.interval.ms=1000

############################# Log Retention Policy #############################

# The following configurations control the disposal of log segments. The policy can
# be set to delete segments after a period of time, or after a given size has accumulated.
# A segment will be deleted whenever *either* of these criteria are met. Deletion always happens
# from the end of the log.

# The minimum age of a log file to be eligible for deletion
# 消息失效期，7天
log.retention.hours=168

# kafka每条消息存放的最大大小
message.max.byte=5048576
#kafka集群保存消息的默认份数（副本数）
default.replication.factor=2
# 取消息的最大字节数，设置为5M
replica.fetch.max.bytes=5048576


# A size-based retention policy for logs. Segments are pruned from the log as long as the remaining
# segments don't drop below log.retention.bytes.
#log.retention.bytes=1073741824

# The maximum size of a log segment file. When this size is reached a new log segment will be created.
# 超过这个大小就不再追加文件，而是新启动一个文件
log.segment.bytes=1073741824

# The interval at which log segments are checked to see if they can be deleted according
# to the retention policies
# 每隔这么多毫秒查看是否有失效的消息，（上面是168小时）。有的话就删除消息
log.retention.check.interval.ms=300000
# 是否启用log压缩
log.cleaner.enable=false

############################# Zookeeper #############################

# Zookeeper connection string (see zookeeper docs for details).
# This is a comma separated host:port pairs, each corresponding to a zk
# server. e.g. "127.0.0.1:3000,127.0.0.1:3001,127.0.0.1:3002".
# You can also append an optional chroot string to the urls to specify the
# root directory for all kafka znodes.
zookeeper.connect=192.168.128.128:2181,192.168.128.129:2181,192.168.128.130:2181

# Timeout in ms for connecting to zookeeper
zookeeper.connection.timeout.ms=6000

三个机器都配置完成后，可以使用./bin/kafka-server.sh -daemon ./config/servers.properties命令来打开kafka。打开命令后使用jps查看运行状态如下：

eversilver@debian:/usr/local/kafka$ jps
10273 Jps
8994 QuorumPeerMain
10026 Kafka

下面可以使用一个例子查看配置是否正确。创建一个主题。命令如下：

eversilver@debian:/usr/local/kafka$ ./bin/kafka-topics.sh --create --zookeeper localhost:2181 --replication-factor 2 --partitions 1 --topic test
Created topic "test".

查看当前的主题

eversilver@debian:/usr/local/kafka$ bin/kafka-topics.sh --list --zookeeper localhost:2181
test #当前的test主题已经存在

启动一个kafka的生产者：

eversilver@debian:/usr/local/kafka$ bin/kafka-console-producer.sh --broker-list 192.168.128.128:19092 --topic test

另一台机器上启动一个kafka的消费者

eversilver@debian:/usr/local/kafka$ bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --bootstrap-server 192.168.128.129:19092 --topic test --from-beginning

当在生产者端输入"hello"后，消费者端也会正常显示"hello"
同样可以通过命令查看topic的基本信息：

eversilver@debian:/usr/local/kafka$ ./bin/kafka-topics.sh --describe --zookeeper localhost:2181 --topic test
Topic:test    PartitionCount:1    ReplicationFactor:1    Configs:
Topic: test    Partition: 0    Leader: 1    Replicas: 1    Isr: 1

kafka的日志目录下的server.log是kafka集群的机器进行leader切换时产生的日志。state.change.log日志。controller.log存放的是kafka集群中的controller所产生的日志。

zookeeper运行之后可以使用 ./bin/zkCli.sh -server 127.0.0.1:2181 可以进入zookeeper的客户端，ls / 命令显示的zookeeper内部状态如下所示。

[zk: 127.0.0.1:2181(CONNECTED) 0] ls /
[admin, brokers, cluster, config, consumers, controller, controller_epoch, isr_change_notification, zookeeper]

上面的所有文件除了zookeeper文件夹是zookeeper产生的其他均为kafka所产生的。可以查看broker下面的相关信息。

[zk: 127.0.0.1:2181(CONNECTED) 12] ls /brokers
[ids, seqid, topics]
[zk: 127.0.0.1:2181(CONNECTED) 13] ls /brokers/ids
[1, 2]
[zk: 127.0.0.1:2181(CONNECTED) 14] ls /brokers/ids/1
[]
[zk: 127.0.0.1:2181(CONNECTED) 15] get /brokers/ids/1
{"jmx_port":-1,"timestamp":"1494050585414","endpoints":["PLAINTEXT://192.168.128.128:19092"],"host":"192.168.128.128","version":3,"port":19092}

上面显示了ids1的启动时间，端口号，版本

 [zk: 127.0.0.1:2181(CONNECTED) 16] ls /brokers/topics
[__consumer_offsets, my-first-kafka-topic, test]
[zk: 127.0.0.1:2181(CONNECTED) 17] get /brokers/topics/test
{"version":1,"partitions":{"0":[1]}}

上面显示了当前存在的所有的topic。例如其中的test topic，只有一个分区 ，版本是1.

kafka的config文件夹下的，consumer.properties配置项如下：

eversilver@debian:/usr/local/kafka$ cat ./config/consumer.properties 
# Licensed to the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) under one or more
# contributor license agreements.  See the NOTICE file distributed with

# see kafka.consumer.ConsumerConfig for more details

# Zookeeper connection string
# comma separated host:port pairs, each corresponding to a zk
# server. e.g. "127.0.0.1:3000,127.0.0.1:3001,127.0.0.1:3002"
zookeeper.connect=127.0.0.1:2181

# timeout in ms for connecting to zookeeper
zookeeper.connection.timeout.ms=6000

# consumer group id
# 用来组合一个topic下面的多个partition，如果一个topic有两个group-id，那么
# 一个group-id对应于一个consumer组。不同consumer组可以复制消费这个topic的
# 消息。即一个topic消息可以被两个group拿两次。
group.id=test-consumer-group

#consumer timeout
#consumer.timeout.ms=5000

kafka的config文件夹下的，producer.properties配置项也需要注意些。
注意，kafka的配置项优先级最高的是程序中设置的配置项，其次是shell中开始命令时的配置项，最低的是配置文件中设置的配置项。
