Hi all Iam trying to write a web application which is invoked when the message arrives in topic. The code is waiting for a message in kafka consumer in while loop and sometimes it picks up the message and sometimes its waiting forever even when the message is produced in the topic. I am invoking the kafka consumer in servlet init method as a result its waiting in the while and not fully deploying the web app. I would appreciate any suggestions as iam looking to invoke my consumer as soon any message arrives in topic. Map<String, Integer> topicMap = new HashMap<String, Integer>(); // 1 represents the single thread topicMap.put(topic, new Integer(1)); Map<String, List<KafkaStream<byte[], byte[]>>> consumerStreamsMap = consumerConnector .createMessageStreams(topicMap); // Get the list of message streams for each topic, using the default // decoder. KafkaStream<byte[], byte[]> stream = consumerStreamsMap.get(topic).get(0); ConsumerIterator<byte[], byte[]> it = stream.iterator(); try { // for (final KafkaStream<byte[], byte[]> stream : streamList) { // ConsumerIterator<byte[], byte[]> consumerIte = stream.iterator(); // reads from Kafka until you stop it. while (it.hasNext()) { // System.out.println("Message from Single Topic :: " + // new byte[] msg = ((MessageAndMetadata<byte[], byte[]>) it.next()).message(); // byte[] rawMsg = msg.message(); // byte[] ObjInBytes = it.next().message(); final RequestMessage msgAsObject = convertFromBytes(msg); if (msgAsObject != null) { Thread thread = new Thread() { public void run() { logger.info("Starting new Thread for request Object" + msgAsObject.getRequestId()); StateMachine sm = new StateMachine(msgAsObject); sm.processPdfaRequest(); System.out.println("Request Fully completed"); logger.info("Request Fully completed"); Thread.currentThread().stop(); sm = null; } }; thread.run(); } } } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); }
