# Quick Start (demo) guide for Kafka Connect Sink for Hudi This repo contains a sample project that can be used to start off your own source connector for Kafka Connect. This is work is tracked by [HUDI-2324](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HUDI-2324) ## Building the Hudi Sink Connector The first thing you need to do to start using this connector is building it. In order to do that, you need to install the following dependencies: - [Java 1.8+](https://openjdk.java.net/) - [Apache Maven](https://maven.apache.org/) - Install [kcat](https://github.com/edenhill/kcat) After installing these dependencies, execute the following commands. This will install all the Hudi dependency jars, including the fat packaged jar that contains all the dependencies required for a functional Hudi Kafka Connect Sink. ```bash cd $HUDI_DIR mvn clean -DskipTests install ``` Henceforth, incremental builds can be performed as follows. ```bash mvn clean -pl hudi-kafka-connect install -DskipTests mvn clean -pl packaging/hudi-kafka-connect-bundle install ``` Next, we need to make sure that the hudi sink connector bundle jar is in Kafka Connect classpath. Note that the connect classpath should be same as the one configured in the connector configuration file. ```bash cp $HUDI_DIR/packaging/hudi-kafka-connect-bundle/target/hudi-kafka-connect-bundle-0.10.0-SNAPSHOT.jar /usr/local/share/java/hudi-kafka-connect/ ``` ## Trying the connector After building the package, we need to install the Apache Kafka ### 1 - Starting the environment To try out the Connect Sink locally, set up a Kafka broker locally. Download the latest apache kafka from https://kafka.apache.org/downloads. Once downloaded and built, run the Zookeeper server and Kafka server using the command line tools. ```bash export KAFKA_HOME=/path/to/kafka_install_dir cd $KAFKA_KAFKA_HOME ./bin/zookeeper-server-start.sh ./config/zookeeper.properties ./bin/kafka-server-start.sh ./config/server.properties ``` Wait until the kafka cluster is up and running. ### 2 - Set up the schema registry Hudi leverages schema registry to obtain the latest schema when writing records. While it supports most popular schema registries, we use Confluent schema registry. Download the latest confluent platform and run the schema registry service. ```bash cd $CONFLUENT_DIR ./bin/schema-registry-start etc/schema-registry/schema-registry.properties ``` ### 3 - Create the Hudi Control Topic for Coordination of the transactions The control topic should only have `1` partition, since its used to coordinate the Hudi write transactions across the multiple Connect tasks. ```bash cd $KAFKA_HOME ./bin/kafka-topics.sh --delete --topic hudi-control-topic --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 ./bin/kafka-topics.sh --create --topic hudi-control-topic --partitions 1 --replication-factor 1 --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 ``` ### 4 - Create the Hudi Topic for the Sink and insert data into the topic Open a terminal to execute the following command: ```bash cd $HUDI_DIR/hudi-kafka-connect/demo/ bash setupKafka.sh -n ``` ### 4 - Run the Sink connector worker (multiple workers can be run) The Kafka connect is a distributed platform, with the ability to run one or more workers (each running multiple tasks) that parallely process the records from the Kafka partitions for the same topic. We provide a properties file with default properties to start a Hudi connector. Note that if multiple workers need to be run, the webserver needs to be reconfigured for subsequent workers to ensure successful running of the workers. ```bash cd $KAFKA_HOME ./bin/connect-distributed.sh $HUDI_DIR/hudi-kafka-connect/demo/connect-distributed.properties ``` ### 5- To add the Hudi Sink to the Connector (delete it if you want to re-configure) Once the Connector has started, it will not run the Sink, until the Hudi sink is added using the web api. The following curl APIs can be used to delete and add a new Hudi Sink. Again, a default configuration is provided for the Hudi Sink, that can be changed based on the desired properties. ```bash curl -X DELETE http://localhost:8083/connectors/hudi-sink curl -X POST -H "Content-Type:application/json" -d @$HUDI_DIR/hudi-kafka-connect/demo/config-sink.json http://localhost:8083/connectors ``` Now, you should see that the connector is created and tasks are running. ```bash curl -X GET -H "Content-Type:application/json" http://localhost:8083/connectors ["hudi-sink"] curl -X GET -H "Content-Type:application/json" http://localhost:8083/connectors/hudi-sink/status | jq ``` And, you should see your Hudi table created, which you can query using Spark/Flink. Note: HUDI-2325 tracks Hive sync, which will unlock pretty much every other query engine. ```bash ls -a /tmp/hoodie/hudi-test-topic . .hoodie partition-1 partition-3 .. partition-0 partition-2 partition-4 ls -lt /tmp/hoodie/hudi-test-topic/.hoodie total 72 -rw-r--r-- 1 user wheel 346 Sep 14 10:32 hoodie.properties -rw-r--r-- 1 user wheel 0 Sep 13 23:18 20210913231805.inflight -rw-r--r-- 1 user wheel 0 Sep 13 23:18 20210913231805.commit.requested -rw-r--r-- 1 user wheel 9438 Sep 13 21:45 20210913214351.commit -rw-r--r-- 1 user wheel 0 Sep 13 21:43 20210913214351.inflight -rw-r--r-- 1 user wheel 0 Sep 13 21:43 20210913214351.commit.requested -rw-r--r-- 1 user wheel 18145 Sep 13 21:43 20210913214114.commit -rw-r--r-- 1 user wheel 0 Sep 13 21:41 20210913214114.inflight -rw-r--r-- 1 user wheel 0 Sep 13 21:41 20210913214114.commit.requested drwxr-xr-x 2 user wheel 64 Sep 13 21:41 archived ls -l /tmp/hoodie/hudi-test-topic/partition-0 total 5168 -rw-r--r-- 1 user wheel 439332 Sep 13 21:43 2E0E6DB44ACC8479059574A2C71C7A7E-0_0-0-0_20210913214114.parquet -rw-r--r-- 1 user wheel 440179 Sep 13 21:42 3B56FAAAE2BDD04E480C1CBACD463D3E-0_0-0-0_20210913214114.parquet -rw-r--r-- 1 user wheel 437097 Sep 13 21:45 3B56FAAAE2BDD04E480C1CBACD463D3E-0_0-0-0_20210913214351.parquet -rw-r--r-- 1 user wheel 440219 Sep 13 21:42 D5AEE453699D5D9623D704C1CF399C8C-0_0-0-0_20210913214114.parquet -rw-r--r-- 1 user wheel 437035 Sep 13 21:45 D5AEE453699D5D9623D704C1CF399C8C-0_0-0-0_20210913214351.parquet -rw-r--r-- 1 user wheel 440214 Sep 13 21:43 E200FA75DCD1CED60BE86BCE6BF5D23A-0_0-0-0_20210913214114.parquet ```
