Copying messages from a single partition topic to a multi-partition topic

2014-09-19 Thread Dennis Haller
Hi, We have an interesting problem to solve due to a very large traffic volumes on particular topics. In our initial system configuration we had only one partition per topic, and in in a couple of topics we have built up huge backlogs of several million messages that our consumers are slowly proce

Re: are consumer offsets stored in a log?

This will force a rewrite of those monitoring tools and UI tools that read offsets from Zookeeper in order directly to get lag information for reporting on consumer clients. It seems a good thing to know this is coming down the pipe. Dennis On Wed, Jun 4, 2014 at 6:50 PM, Neha Narkhede wrote:

How does Kafka decide which Consumer out of multiple Consumer clients to assign to a single topic partition

2013-08-22 Thread Dennis Haller
I have a situation where two high level consumers are being created to consume a single topic. There is only one partition for the topic, so I understand that only one Consumer will end up owning the topic and receiving messages. The two consumers are created from two servers in a redundant master

Kafka issue with "Reconnect due to socket error"

2013-07-08 Thread Dennis Haller
I have a 4-broker Kafka system running in Amazon EC2, and we are using Kafka 0.8 beta1. Most of the standard default configurations remain unchanged. Running the kafka tool ConsumerOffsetChecker is causing socket errors to occur. Some of these socket reset errors are also in the kafka server log.

Hi, When the zk.connect property of the Kafka server is specified with a comma separated host:port list, such as "127.0.0.1:3000,127.0.0.1:3001, 127.0.0.1:3002"., does that mean that every ZK connection attempt goes to the first listed server if it exists? And does that represent a risk of driving

I'm not sure if this relates directly to your problem, but you are using non-standard topic names because of the @ character. Topic names should only include alphanumeric plus hyphen and underscore. Have you checked your logs for any errors because of processing these topic names? Regards, Dennis
