 Implement Kafka connector using the new Kafka Consumer API
 --

 Key: FLINK-2386
 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-2386
 Project: Flink
  Issue Type: Improvement
  Components: Kafka Connector
Reporter: Robert Metzger
Assignee: Robert Metzger
 Fix For: 0.10, 0.9.1


 Once Kafka has released its new consumer API, we should provide a connector 
 for that version.
 The release will probably be called 0.9 or 0.8.3.
 The connector will be mostly compatible with Kafka 0.8.2.x, except for 
 committing offsets to the broker (the new connector expects a coordinator to 
 be available on Kafka). To work around that, we can provide a configuration 
 option to commit offsets to zookeeper (managed by flink code).
 For 0.9/0.8.3 it will be fully compatible.
 It will not be compatible with 0.8.1 because of mismatching Kafka messages.

This needs to go into 0.9.1, so the diamond operators are going to be a 
problem

There is no difference, currently, between the 0.8.2 and the 0.8.1 Kafka 
consumers. Should we even differentiate between them, or only port the 
`PersistentKafkaSource` to extend the `FlinkKafkaConsumer`

Damn. You are right. I'll add the full type parameters again for the 0.9.1 
backport (once this one is merged).

 Should we even differentiate between them, or only port the 
PersistentKafkaSource to extend the FlinkKafkaConsumer

That's a good question. I though that having the two user-facing classes 
would allow us to silently change the implementation for the different Kafka 
versions if needed (for example when the new consumer API is out, and we know 
its fully backwards compatible).
But I guess this is a matter of taste. I can change the name to 
FlinkKafkaConsumer (without the version suffix) if you want.
Do you think having two `PersistentKafkaSource` in different packages is a 
good idea? 
I don't know whether Sink / Source or Producer / Consumer are better pairs 
of names.

Concerning the `FlinkKafkaConsumer081` and `FlinkKafkaConsumer082` - lets 
keep them exactly to fix bugs underneath the hood.

I would actually move all this from the `flink-connector-kafka-083`to the 
other kafka connector project and replace the old `PersistentKafkaSource`.

In a sepaate patch, we should we add some convenience constructors, where 
one can directly pass the list of brokers, rather than a properties object.

Reporter: Robert Metzger
Assignee: Robert Metzger

 Once Kafka has released its new consumer API, we should provide a connector 
 for that version.
 The release will probably be called 0.9 or 0.8.3.
 The connector will be mostly compatible with Kafka 0.8.2.x, except for 
 committing offsets to the broker (the new connector expects a coordinator to 
 be available on Kafka). To work around that, we can provide a configuration 
 option to commit offsets to zookeeper (managed by flink code).
 For 0.9/0.8.3 it will be fully compatible.
 It will not be compatible with 0.8.1 because of mismatching Kafka messages.

Okay, I've relocated the source into the `flink-connector-kafka` module.
I added a convenience class `PersistentKafkaSource` in the exact same 
package as in the old module, with the same Ctor arguments. So 0.9.0 users can 
just set their version to 0.9.1 without touching the code.

How about dropping the backported Kafka code and relying completely on our 
own implementation against the SimpleConsumer API?
We would need to implement the `KafkaConsumer.partitionsFor()` method 
ourselves, but I think that's doable.

Since Kafka is Apache, copying should be okay. It is good style, though, to 
add to every copied file a note of origin.

And this is a temporary solution anyways, since we can get rid of most of 
the copied files as soon as the new Kafka release is properly out.

Thanks for all the information Robert! I will have a more detailed look at 
the classes you mentioned until you are back. Regarding the open questions:

1) Copying code
- I don't see a problem with this in general. I would assume that the 
copied solution will lead to less surprises in the end. After the new API is 
released by Kafka, we can remove the code, right?

2) Packaging
- I think it's OK with proper documentation and as you said we have to do 
it anyways at some point in time.

---

I've started a discussion about a bug fix release for 0.9. I think this 
issue is a blocker for that release. What's your stand on this? What do you 
think how much longer it will take after you are back?

[WIP][FLINK-2386] Add new Kafka Consumers

I'm opening a WIP pull request (against our rules) to get some feedback on 
my ongoing work.
Please note that I'm on vacation next week (until August 17)

**Why this rework?**

The current `PersistentKafkaSource` does not always provide exactly-once 
processing guarantees because we are using the high level Consumer API of Kafka.
We've chosen to use that API because it is handling all the corner cases 
such as leader election, leader failover and other low level stuff.
The problem is that the API does not allow us to
- commit offsets manually
- consistently (across restarts) assign partitions to Flink instances  

The Kafka community is aware of these issues and actively working on a new 
Consumer API. See 
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Kafka+0.9+Consumer+Rewrite+Design
 and https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1326
The release of Kafka 0.8.3 is scheduled for October 2015 (see plan: 
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Future+release+plan)

Therefore, I decided for the following approach:
Copy the code of the unreleased, new Kafka Consumer into the Flink consumer 
and use it.
The new API has all the bells and whistles we need (manual committing, 
per-partition subscriptions, nice APIs), but it is not completely backwards 
compatible.

We can retrieve topic metadata with the new API from Kafka 0.8.1, 0.8.2 
(and of course 0.8.3)
We can retrieve data from Kafka 0.8.2 (and 0.8.3)
We can only commit to Kafka 0.8.3

Therefore, this pull request contains three different user facing classes 
`FlinkKafkaConsumer081`,  `FlinkKafkaConsumer082` and `FlinkKafkaConsumer083` 
for the different possible combinations.
For 0.8.1 we are using a hand-crafted implementation against the simple 
consumer API 
(https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/0.8.0+SimpleConsumer+Example)
 so we had to do what we originally wanted to avoid.
I tried to make that implementation as robust and efficient as possible. 
I'm intentionally not handling any broker failures in the code. For these 
cases, I'm relying on Flink's fault tolerance mechanisms (which effectively 
means redeploying the Kafka sources against other online brokers)

For reviewing the pull request, there are only a few important classes to 
look at:
- FlinkKafkaConsumerBase
- IncludedFetcher
- LegacyFetcher (the one implementing the SimpleConsumer API)
I fixed a little bug in the stream graph generator. It was ignoring the 
number of execution retries when no checkpointing is enabled. 


Known issues:
- this pull request contains at least one failing test
- the KafkaConsumer contains at least one known, yet untested bug
- missing documentation

I will also open a pull request for using the new Producer API. It provides 
much better performance and usability.

Open questions:
- Do we really want to copy 20k+ lines of code into our code base (for 
now)? 
If there are concerns about this, I could also manually implement the 
missing pieces. Its probably 100 lines of code for getting the partition infos 
for a topic, and we would use the Simple Consumer also for reading from 0.8.2.

- Do we want to use the packaging I'm suggesting here (additional maven 
module for `flink-connector-kafka-083`). We would need to introduce it anyways 
when Kafka releases 0.8.3 because the dependencies are not compatible.
But its adding confusion for our users.
I will write more documentation for guidance.

My current work in progress code is located here: 
https://github.com/rmetzger/flink/tree/flink2386
It contains a full copy of the new kafka consumer code (because it is not yet 
released).
I'll probably finish the changes once Kafka has released the new consumer.

 Implement Kafka connector using the new Kafka Consumer API
 --

 Key: FLINK-2386
 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-2386
 Project: Flink
  Issue Type: Improvement
  Components: Kafka Connector
Reporter: Robert Metzger

 Once Kafka has released its new consumer API, we should provide a connector 
 for that version.
 The release will probably be called 0.9 or 0.8.3.
 The connector will be mostly compatible with Kafka 0.8.2.x, except for 
 committing offsets to the broker (the new connector expects a coordinator to 
 be available on Kafka). To work around that, we can provide a configuration 
 option to commit offsets to zookeeper (managed by flink code).
 For 0.9/0.8.3 it will be fully compatible.
 It will not be compatible with 0.8.1 because of mismatching Kafka messages.
