The GET methods should return all initialized loggers (ancestors and the

The ancestors are also specified in the GET responses. Updated the KIP to

Re: [DISCUSS] KIP-495: Dynamically Adjust Log Levels in Connect

2019-09-16 Thread Randall Hauch
Thanks for the updates, Arjun. If possible, it'd be great to have the KIP
clarify a few things:

1) IIUC, the loggers returned by the GET methods are only those loggers
that have been activated/used/set in the JVM. If this is the case, this
should be specified.

2) It's possible to set a log level on an ancestor of other loggers, so we
should also specify whether or not ancestors are included in the GET
responses. Doing so would be helpful, but might not be feasible since two
different descendants might have different log levels.

Otherwise this looks good!

Best regards,

Randall

Re: [DISCUSS] KIP-495: Dynamically Adjust Log Levels in Connect

2019-09-16 Thread Arjun Satish
Good catch, Randall. Yes, we should be able to set the level of any logger
given its name. If this is an ancestor, then the levels of all child
classes are updated. I updated the KIP to be more explicit about what
loggers we can set, and how they affect child classes, if any.

Let me know what you think.

Best,

Re: [DISCUSS] KIP-495: Dynamically Adjust Log Levels in Connect

2019-09-12 Thread Randall Hauch
Thanks for the KIP, Arjun. It's going to be really nice to be able to set
the log levels dynamically, especially through the REST API.

However, I think it's not clear what behavior the KIP is actually proposing
with respect to which loggers are exposed (just those that are used, or
common ancestors) and the behavior when I change the log level on a
specific logger (is just that logger affected, or are descendants affected,
too).

For example, in a Log4J configuration file we can set the logger for
packages (e.g., `org.apache.kafka`, `org.apache.kafka.connect`, etc.) or
classes (e.g., `org.apache.kafka.connect.runtime.WorkerSinkTask`). Really,
those are just conventions, because if the code created a logger for the
"kafka.connect.worker" context then we could set that, too. So by
convention, the loggers map to Kafka classes and packages.

But it's unclear what behavior the KIP is proposing. Are the intermediate
loggers such as all packages exposed as loggers? If so, if I set the logger
on `org.apache.kafka.connect.runtime`, will this set the log level for all
loggers below this?

My concern is that if the behavior is (a) only concrete classes, and/or (b)
setting a log level for a specific logger sets only that logger, then this
deviates from what our users are familiar with when setting the log levels
in the Log4J configuration files, and would be a difficult user experience
if I have to set 30+ loggers rather than 1 or 2.

Thanks a lot, Jason! Answers inline. I'll also modify the kip to make these

Uses the normal listener by default.

Changes will not be persistent and only apply to the worker that received

Re: [DISCUSS] KIP-495: Dynamically Adjust Log Levels in Connect

2019-09-06 Thread Jason Gustafson
Hi Arjun,

The updated KIP looks good. Just a couple questions:

1. Is the /admin endpoint on the normal listener by default? If not, is
there a way to have it use the same listener?
2. Changes to logging configuration are not intended to be persistent, is
that right? Also, I assume changes only apply to the worker that received
the request?

Re: [DISCUSS] KIP-495: Dynamically Adjust Log Levels in Connect

2019-08-30 Thread Arjun Satish
OK. I didn't realize the plan was to deprecate and remove the JMX endpoint.
KIP-412 says brokers will continue to expose the JMX API. JMX was selected
so all components could follow the brokers. In light of this, I think we
should simply aim for semantic equivalency across the different API for
this functionality.

REST is convenient for Connect. We can modify the KIP to have a /admin
endpoint, and /admin/loggers specifically for getting/setting the log
levels of different loggers. The /admin/loggers will only impact loggers
running in the specific worker we target requests to, and upon restarting
the worker, these loggers will reset back to their original level.

Since configuring the rest server already has multiple config keys, I am
inclined to bundle this /admin endpoint on to the same listener, and
provide a single new config key that enables or disables the entire /admin
endpoint. This keeps the initial approach simple and doesn't require users
to configure/discover a new endpoint.

If this works with you all, I can update the KIP. Please let me know what
you think.

Thanks everyone.

Best,

Hi Jason,

I agree... I think Connect needs a REST admin API.  There will probably be a 
lot of other stuff that we'll want to add to it.

Hi Arjun,

>From a high level, I feel like we are making light of the JMX api because
it's convenient and the broker already has it. Personally I would take the
broker out of the picture. The JMX endpoint is not something we were happy
with, hence KIP-412. Ultimately I think we will deprecate and remove it and
there's no point trying to standardize on a deprecated mechanism. Thinking
just about connect, we already have an HTTP endpoint. The default position

The fewer ways you have to interact with a system, the better, right?

I think the main argument against a REST endpoint is basically that
adjusting log levels is an administrative operation and connect is lacking
an authorization framework to enforce administrative access. The same
argument applies to JMX, but it has the benefit that you can specify
different credentials and it is easier to isolate since it is running on a
separate port. As you suggested, I think the same benefits could be
achieved by having a separate /admin endpoint which is exposed (perhaps
optionally) on another listener. This is a pretty standard pattern. If
memory serves, dropwizard has something like this out of the box. We should
think hard whether there are additional administrative capabilities that we
would ultimately need. The answer is probably yes, so unless we want to
double down on JMX, it might be worth thinking through the implications of
an admin endpoint now so that we're not left with odd compatibility baggage
in the future.

Thanks,
Jason

Re: [DISCUSS] KIP-495: Dynamically Adjust Log Levels in Connect

2019-08-23 Thread Arjun Satish
Jason,

Thanks for your comments!

I understand the usability issues with JMX that you mention. But it was
chosen for the following reasons:

1. Cross-cutting functionality across different components (Kafka brokers,
Connect workers and even with Streams jobs). If we go down the REST route,
then brokers don't get this feature.
2. Adding this to existing REST servers adds the whole-or-nothing problem.
It's hard to disable an endpoint if the functionality is not desired or
needs to be protected from users (Connect doesn't have ACLs which makes
this even harder to manage). Adding endpoints to different listeners makes
configuring Connect harder (and it's already a hard problem as it is). A
lot of the existing functionality there is driven around the connector data
model (connectors, plugins, their statuses and so on). Adding an '/admin'
endpoint may be a way to go, but that has tremendous implications (we are
effectively adding an administration endpoint similar to the admin one in
brokers), and probably requires a KIP of its own with discussions catered
around just that.
3. JMX is currently AK's default way to report metrics and perform other
operations. Changing log levels is typically a system level/admin
operation, and fits better there, instead of REST APIs (which is more user
facing).

Having said that, I'm happy to consider alternatives. JMX seemed to be the
lowest hanging fruit. But if there are better ideas, we can consider them.
At the end of the day, when we download and run Kafka, there should be one
way to achieve the same functionality among its components.

Finally, I hope I didn't convey that we are reverting/changing the changes
made in KIP-412. The proposed changes would be an addition to it. It will
give brokers multiple ways of changing log levels. and there is still a
consistent way of achieving cross component goals of the KIP.

Best,

Re: [DISCUSS] KIP-495: Dynamically Adjust Log Levels in Connect

2019-08-23 Thread Jason Gustafson
Let me elaborate a little bit. We made the decision early on for Connect to
use HTTP instead of Kafka's custom RPC protocol. In exchange for losing
some hygienic consistency with Kafka, we took easier integration with
management tools. The scope of the connect REST APIs is really managing the
connect cluster. It has endpoints for creating connectors, changing
configs, seeing their health, etc. Doesn't debugging fit in with that? I am
not sure I see why we would treat this as an exceptional case.

I personally see JMX as a necessary evil in Kafka because most metrics
agents have native support. But it is particularly painful when it comes to
use as an RPC mechanism. This was the central motivation behind KIP-412,
which makes it very odd to see a new proposal which suggests standardizing
on JMX for log level adjustment. I actually see this as something we'd want
to eventually turn off in Kafka. Now that we have a proper API with support
in the AdminClient, we can deprecate and eventually remove the JMX endpoint.

Thanks,
Jason

Re: [DISCUSS] KIP-495: Dynamically Adjust Log Levels in Connect

2019-08-23 Thread Jason Gustafson
Hi Arjun,

Thanks for the KIP. Do we really need a JMX-based API? Is there literally
anyone in the world that wants to use JMX if they don't have to? I thought
one of the major motivations of KIP-412 was how much of a pain JMX is.

Thanks,
Jason

Thanks, Konstantine.

Updated the KIP with the restrictions around log4j and added references to
similar KIPs.

2019-08-19 Thread Konstantine Karantasis
Thanks Arjun, the example is useful!

My point when I mentioned the restrictions around log4j is that this is
information is significant and IMO needs to be included in the KIP.

Speaking of its relevance to KIP-412, I think a reference would be nice
too.

Re: [DISCUSS] KIP-495: Dynamically Adjust Log Levels in Connect

2019-08-15 Thread Arjun Satish
Hey Konstantine,

Thanks for the feedback.

re: the use of log4j, yes, the proposed changes will only work if log4j is
available in runtime. We will not add the mBean if log4j is not available
in classpath. If we change from log4j 1 to 2, that would involve another
KIP, and it would need to update the changes proposed in this KIP and
others (KIP-412, for instance).

re: use of Object types, I've changed it from Boolean to the primitive type
for setLogLevel. We are changing the signature of the old method this way,
but since it never returned null, this should be fine.

re: example usage, I've added some screenshot on how this feature would be
used with jconsole.

Hope this works!

Thanks very much,
Arjun

instance to DEBUG) would be nice, even if it's showing only one out of the
many possible ways to achieve that.

Re: [DISCUSS] KIP-495: Dynamically Adjust Log Levels in Connect

2019-08-14 Thread Konstantine Karantasis
Thanks Arjun for tackling the need to support this very useful feature.

One thing I noticed while reading the KIP is that I would have loved to see
more info regarding how this proposal depends on the underlying logging
APIs and implementations. For instance, my understanding is that slf4j can
not be leveraged and that the logging framework needs to be pegged to log4j
explicitly (or another logging implementation). Correct me if I'm wrong,
but if such a dependency is introduced I believe it's worth mentioning.

Additionally, if the above is correct, there are differences in log4j's
APIs between version 1 and version 2. In version 2, Logger#setLevel method
has been removed from the Logger interface and in order to set the log
level programmatically the Configurator class needs to used, which as
stated in the FAQ (
https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/faq.html#reconfig_level_from_code)
it's not part of log4j2's public API. Is this a concern? I believe that
even if these are implementation specific details for the wrappers
introduced by this KIP (which to a certain extent they are), a mention in
the KIP text and a few references would be useful to understand the changes
and the dependencies introduced by this proposal.

And a few minor comments:
- Is there any specific reason that object types were preferred in the
proposed interface compared to primitive types? My understanding is that
`null` is not expected as a return value.
- Related to the above, I think it'd be nice for the javadoc to mention
when a parameter is not expected to be `null` with an appropriate comment
(e.g. foo bar etc; may not be null)

Cheers,
Konstantine

This looks like a useful feature, the strategy makes sense, and the KIP is
thorough and nicely written. Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback, Chris!

Yes, the example is pretty much how Connect will use the new feature.
Tweaked the section to make this more clear.

Best,

Re: [DISCUSS] KIP-495: Dynamically Adjust Log Levels in Connect

2019-07-26 Thread Chris Egerton
Hi Arjun,

This looks great. The changes to public interface are pretty small and
moving the Log4jController class into the clients package seems like the
right way to go. One question I have--it looks like the purpose of this KIP
is to enable dynamic setting of log levels in the Connect framework, but
it's not clear how the Connect framework will use that new utility. Is the
"Example Usage" section (which involves invoking the utility with a
namespace of "kafka.connect") actually meant to be part of the proposed
changes to public interface?

Cheers,

Chris

[DISCUSS] KIP-495: Dynamically Adjust Log Levels in Connect

2019-07-23 Thread Arjun Satish
Hi everyone.

I'd like to propose the following KIP to implement changing log levels on
the fly in Connect workers:

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-495%3A+Dynamically+Adjust+Log+Levels+in+Connect

Would like to hear your thoughts on this.

Thanks very much,
Arjun
