Spark Streaming + Kafka 0.10 Demo

This demo and slides were used in the Spark Barcelona Meetup. I hope all of you found it interesting, and I would like to share it to improve our community :)

The purpose was to show a brief history of spark streaming + kafka evolution over the time and some code to make it run. Here is a little demo on how to connect to kafka from Spark Streaming, do some transformations (actually a word count splitting lines), and outputting data to a local directory.

Feel free to use it wherever you want, or for whatever purpose, just let me know because I'd love to hear about your work :)

Running Local Kafka Cluster

To run the demo, you will need a local kafka cluster, with a broker listening on localhost:9092. A docker-compose config file is provided, to run a single broker kafka cluster + single node zookeeper.

To start it:

$ docker-compose -f kafka-docker/docker-compose.yml up -d

And to shut it down:

docker-compose -f kafka-docker/docker-compose.yml down

The ports are 2181 for ZooKeeper and 9092 for Kafka

Obiously you can use your own local kafka cluster to run the demo, but make sure the version is >= 0.10 (as is needed for the new spark streaming integration), and the advertised hostname is 127.0.0.1, or just do it the docker-way because it's cooler ;)

Generating records to the topic

To send records to text topic (the one the demo is subsribed to), you can use kafka-console-producer.sh in the kafka broker docker instance.

$ docker exec -i kafkadocker_kafka_1 /opt/kafka/bin/kafka-console-producer.sh \
            --broker-list 127.0.0.1:9092 --topic text < input/shakespeare.txt 

Running the Demo

Once the kafka cluster + zookeeper is up and running, you can start the demo with your IDE of choice importing the maven pom.xml, or you can build it from shell with maven and launch the generated jar (it's a shaded fat jar including all the dependencies)

$ mvn clean package
$ java -jar target/spark-streaming-kafka-0-10-demo.jar

You can access the Spark UI with a web broswer at http://localhost:4040.

Probably the most interesting tab is the Streaming one, but feel free to look at the Stages scheduled and other info around.

Spark Streaming UI

About the code

You can tune how fast your streaming app ingests data with spark.streaming.kafka.maxRatePerPartition property defined in the SparkConf object. If you are using the docker approach to create a local kafka cluster, take into consideration that there are 4 partitions in the text topic.

Also, take a look at auto.offset.reset and enable.auto.commit, to tune if commiting offsets automatically to kafka, or where to start on the topic when starting for the first time.
