How does SSM use Kafka to implement a message queue?
Kafka is a high-performance, scalable, and distributed message queuing system that supports multiple data formats and multiple operations, and can be used to implement scenarios such as data transmission, message communication, and log processing. In the development of SSM (Spring + Spring MVC + MyBatis), Kafka can be used to implement message queues to improve the reliability and scalability of the system.
This article will introduce how to use the SSM framework and Kafka to implement message queues, including the basic concepts of Kafka, how to use Kafka's Java client KafkaProducer and KafkaConsumer, and how to use Kafka in SSM.
Basic concepts of Kafka
Kafka is a message queuing system based on the publish-subscribe model, which includes multiple concepts and components. The following briefly introduces the characteristics and uses of these concepts and components.
1. Broker
Broker is one or more servers in the Kafka cluster, which is responsible for storing messages and handling the transmission of messages. Broker can be expanded horizontally, adding Broker can improve the performance and reliability of Kafka.
2. Topic
Topic is a message topic in Kafka, which is a logical concept used to distinguish different types of messages. Each Topic can contain multiple Partitions, and each Partition can contain multiple messages.
3. Partition
Partition is the partition of Topic, which is the physical storage unit of the message. Each Partition can only be consumed by one consumer at a time, but multiple consumers can consume different Partitions at the same time.
4. Producer
Producer is the producer, which is responsible for sending messages to the Broker in the Kafka cluster. Producer can send messages to one or more Topics, and can also specify which Partition to send the message to.
5. Consumer
Consumer is the consumer, which is responsible for consuming messages from the Broker in the Kafka cluster. Consumer can consume one or more Topic messages, and can also specify which Partition messages to consume.
6. Consumer Group
Consumer Group is a consumer group, which is a group composed of multiple Consumers, which is used to achieve message load balancing and fault tolerance. Consumers in each Consumer Group consume different Partitions, thereby improving system reliability and performance.
How to use Kafka's Java client KafkaProducer and KafkaConsumer
Kafka provides Java client KafkaProducer and KafkaConsumer, which can be used to send and consume messages. The following describes how to use KafkaProducer and KafkaConsumer respectively.
1. How to use KafkaProducer
KafkaProducer can be used to send messages to Broker in the Kafka cluster. Its basic usage is as follows:
- Create a KafkaProducer object
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("bootstrap.servers", "localhost:9092");
props.put("key.serializer", "org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringSerializer");
props.put("value.serializer", "org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringSerializer");
KafkaProducer<String, String> producer = new KafkaProducer<>(props);
When creating a KafkaProducer object, you need to specify the address and serializer of the Kafka cluster. Here StringSerializer is used as the key and value serializer.
- Send a message to the Kafka cluster
String topic = "test-topic";
String key = "test-key";
String value = "test-value";
ProducerRecord<String, String> record = new ProducerRecord<>(topic, key, value);
producer.send(record);
When sending a message, you need to specify the subject, key and value of the message. A ProducerRecord object is created here, which contains the subject, key and value of the message, and then the send method of KafkaProducer is called to send the message to the Kafka cluster.
- Close the KafkaProducer object
producer.close();
After using KafkaProducer, you need to call the close method to close the KafkaProducer object and release resources.
2. How to use KafkaConsumer
KafkaConsumer can be used to consume messages from the Broker in the Kafka cluster. Its basic usage is as follows:
- Create a KafkaConsumer object
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("bootstrap.servers", "localhost:9092");
props.put("group.id", "test-group");
props.put("key.deserializer", "org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringDeserializer");
props.put("value.deserializer", "org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringDeserializer");
KafkaConsumer<String, String> consumer = new KafkaConsumer<>(props);
When creating a KafkaConsumer object, you need to specify the address of the Kafka cluster, the ID of the consumer group, and the deserializer. Here StringDeserializer is used as the key and value deserializer.
- Subscribe to a message topic
String topic = "test-topic";
consumer.subscribe(Collections.singleton(topic));
When subscribing to a message topic, you can use the subscribe method to subscribe to one or more topics. Here the Collections.singleton method is used to subscribe to a single topic.
- consumption news
while (true) {
ConsumerRecords<String, String> records = consumer.poll(Duration.ofMillis(100));
for (ConsumerRecord<String, String> record : records) {
System.out.println("offset = " + record.offset() + ", key = " + record.key() + ", value = " + record.value());
}
}
When consuming messages, you need to use the poll method to pull messages from the Kafka cluster. Each call to the poll method can pull a batch of messages, and then use the for loop to process the messages one by one.
- Close the KafkaConsumer object
consumer.close();
After using KafkaConsumer, you need to call the close method to close the KafkaConsumer object and release resources.
Using Kafka in SSM
Using Kafka in SSM can be realized by injecting KafkaTemplate and KafkaListener. The following describes the usage of KafkaTemplate and KafkaListener respectively.
1. How to use KafkaTemplate
KafkaTemplate is a class provided by Spring Kafka for sending messages to the Kafka cluster. Here is sample code using KafkaTemplate:
- Introduce dependencies
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.kafka</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-kafka</artifactId>
<version>2.8.0</version>
</dependency>
- Configure KafkaTemplate in the Spring configuration file
<bean id="kafkaTemplate" class="org.springframework.kafka.core.KafkaTemplate">
<constructor-arg>
<bean class="org.springframework.kafka.core.DefaultKafkaProducerFactory">
<constructor-arg>
<map>
<entry key="bootstrap.servers" value="localhost:9092"/>
<entry key="key.serializer" value="org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringSerializer"/>
<entry key="value.serializer" value="org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringSerializer"/>
</map>
</constructor-arg>
</bean>
</constructor-arg>
</bean>
When configuring KafkaTemplate, you need to specify the address and serializer of the Kafka cluster.
- Inject KafkaTemplate in Service
@Service
public class UserService {
@Autowired
private KafkaTemplate<String, String> kafkaTemplate;
public void sendMessage(String topic, String key, String value) {
kafkaTemplate.send(topic, key, value);
}
}
Inject KafkaTemplate into the Service, and then call the send method to send messages to the Kafka cluster. A sendMessage method is created here to send a message to the specified topic.
2. How to use KafkaListener
KafkaListener is an annotation provided by Spring Kafka for message consumption. Here is sample code using KafkaListener:
- Configure KafkaListenerContainerFactory in the Spring configuration file
<bean id="kafkaListenerContainerFactory" class="org.springframework.kafka.config.ConcurrentKafkaListenerContainerFactory">
<property name="consumerFactory">
<bean class="org.springframework.kafka.core.DefaultKafkaConsumerFactory">
<constructor-arg>
<map>
<entry key="bootstrap.servers" value="localhost:9092"/>
<entry key="group.id" value="test-group"/>
<entry key="key.deserializer" value="org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringDeserializer"/>
<entry key="value.deserializer" value="org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringDeserializer"/>
</map>
</constructor-arg>
</bean>
</property>
</bean>
When configuring KafkaListenerContainerFactory, you need to specify the address of the Kafka cluster, the ID of the consumer group, and the deserializer.
- Use the KafkaListener annotation in the consumer class
@Component
public class UserConsumer {
@KafkaListener(topics = "user-topic", groupId = "test-group")
public void onMessage(ConsumerRecord<String, String> record) {
System.out.println("offset = " + record.offset() + ", key = " + record.key() + ", value = " + record.value());
}
}
Use the KafkaListener annotation in the consumer class to specify the topic to be consumed and the ID of the consumer group. Then define an onMessage method for processing received messages.
