Stream geometry points into kafka topic using kafka JDBC source connector - postgresql

I am trying to stream a table from PostgreSQL to Kafka topic using Kafka JDBC connector.
This table contains a geometry column with data type Point
Here is my JDBC connector configuration:
curl -i -X PUT http://localhost:8083/connectors/source-jdbc-pg-00/config \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{
"connector.class" : "io.confluent.connect.jdbc.JdbcSourceConnector",
"connection.url" : "jdbc:postgresql://postgres:5432/postgres",
"connection.user" : "me",
"connection.password" : "12345",
"topic.prefix" : "pg-",
"mode" : "bulk",
"poll.interval.ms" : 3600000
}'
The connector is running successfully, but when I check the topic, the geometry column is missing.
Is it possible to stream geospatial data using Kafka JDBC connectors?
Does anyone have any advice?
UPDATE 2021-04-12
I can see the postgis-jdbc-2.5.0.jar had been installed properly in this directory:
cd /usr/share/confluent-hub-components/confluentinc-kafka-connect-jdbc/lib
But when I checked the kafka-connect log, it seemed that the postgis jdbc plugin was not working properly,
kafka-connect | [2021-04-11 23:38:25,275] WARN [source-jdbc-pg-00|task-0] JDBC type 1111 ("public"."geometry") not currently supported (io.confluent.connect.jdbc.dialect.PostgreSqlDatabaseDialect:1153)

Kafka: Source-Connector to Topic mapping is Flakey

I have the following Kafka connector configuration (below). I have created the "member" topic already (30 partitions). The problem is that I will install the connector and it will work; i.e.
curl -d "#mobiledb-member.json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X PUT https://TTGSSQA0VRHAP81.ttgtpmg.net:8085/connectors/mobiledb-member-connector/config
curl -s https://TTGSSQA0VRHAP81.ttgtpmg.net:8085/connectors/member-connector/topics
returns:
{"member-connector":{"topics":[member]}}
the status call returns no errors:
curl -s https://TTGSSQA0VRHAP81.ttgtpmg.net:8085/connectors/mobiledb-member-connector/status
{"name":"member-connector","connector":{"state":"RUNNING","worker_id":"ttgssqa0vrhap81.***.net:8085"},"tasks":[{"id":0,"state":"RUNNING","worker_id":"ttgssqa0vrhap81.***.net:8085"}],"type":"source"}
... but at other times, I will install a similar connector config and it will return no topics.
{"member-connector":{"topics":[]}}
Yet the status shows no errors and the Connector logs show no clues as to why this "connector to topic" mapping isn't working. Why aren't the logs helping out?

How does JDBC sink connector inserts values into postgres database

I'm using JDBC sink connector to load data from kafka topic to postgres database.
here is my configuration:
curl --location --request PUT 'http://localhost:8083/connectors/sink_1/config' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
"connector.class": "io.confluent.connect.jdbc.JdbcSinkConnector",
"connection.url":"jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/postgres",
"connection.user":"user",
"connection.password":"passwd",
"tasks.max" : "10",
"topics":"<topic_name_same_as_tablename>",
"insert.mode":"insert",
"key.converter":"org.apache.kafka.connect.converters.ByteArrayConverter",
"value.converter":"org.apache.kafka.connect.json.JsonConverter",
"quote.sql.identifiers":"never",
"errors.tolerance":"all",
"errors.deadletterqueue.topic.name":"failed_records",
"errors.deadletterqueue.topic.replication.factor":"1",
"errors.log.enable":"true"
}'
In my table, I have 100k+ records so, I tried partitioning the topic into 10 and I tried with tasks.max with 10 to speed up the loading process, which was much faster when compared to single partition.
Can someone help me understand how the sink connector loads data into postgres? How will be the insert statement it will consider? either approach-1 or approach-2? If it is approach-1 then can we achieve approach-2? if yes, how can we?

Kafka connect MongoDB Kafka connector using JSONConverter not working

I'm trying to configure the Kafka connector to use mongoDB as the source and send the records into Kakfa topics.
I've successfully done so, but I'm trying to do it with the JSONConverter in order to also save the schema with the payload.
My problem is that the connector is saving the data as follows:
{ "schema": { "type": "string" } , "payload": "{....}" }
In other words, it's automatically assuming the actual JSON is a string and it's saving the schema as String.
This is how I'm setting up the connector:
curl -X POST http://localhost:8083/connectors -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{
"name": "newtopic",
"config": {
"tasks.max":1,
"connector.class":"com.mongodb.kafka.connect.MongoSourceConnector",
"key.converter":"org.apache.kafka.connect.json.JsonConverter",
"key.converter.schemas.enabled": "true",
"value.converter":"org.apache.kafka.connect.json.JsonConverter",
"value.converter.schemas.enabled": "true",
"connection.uri":"[MONGOURL]",
"database":"dbname",
"collection":"collname",
"pipeline":"[]",
"topic.prefix": "",
"publish.full.document.only": "true"
}}'
Am I missing something for the configuration? Is it simply not able to guess the schema of the document stored in MongoDB, so it goes with String?
There's nothing to guess. Mongo is schemaless, last I checked, so the schema is a string or bytes. I would suggest using AvroConverter or setting schema enabled to false
You may also want to try using Debezium to see if you get different results
The latest version 1.3 of the MongoDB connector should solve this issue.
It even provides an option for inferring the source schema.

With Kafka JDBC source connector getting only 1000 records/sec. How to improve the record pulling rate

I am using kafka connect with JDBC source connector. The connector is working fine but i able to get only 1000 messages/sec. to the topic from Oracle DB. I tried most of the configuration settings but no luck. i tried in both standalone and distributed modes. Pls. help on this. Below is my JDBC Source connector configuration:
curl -X POST http://localhost:8083/connectors -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"name": "ORA_SRC_DEVDB",
"config": { "connector.class": "io.confluent.connect.jdbc.JdbcSourceConnector",
"connection.url": "jdbc:oracle:thin:#xxxxxxx/DBDEV",
"connection.user": "xxxxxx",
"connection.password": "xxxxxx",
"query": "select * from A.LOG_AUDIT",
"topic.prefix": "Topic_POC",
"tasks.max": "1",
"poll.interval.ms": "5000",
"batch.max.rows": "1000",
"table.poll.interval.ms": "60000",
"mode": "timestamp",
"timestamp.column.name": "MODIFIED_DATEnTIME" }
}'
And also the destination Topic "Topic_POC" created with 3 partitions & 3 replicas.
poll.interval.ms: Frequency in ms to poll for new data in each table(default 5000)
batch.max.rows: Maximum number of rows to include in a single batch(default 100)
In your case every 5 seconds you are polling max 1000 record from DB. Trying to decrease poll.interval.ms and increase batch.max.rows could improve fetch rate.
Not only that below factors also impact on your fetch rate
Rate of incoming data into the Database that also depends
I/O rate from DB to JDBC connector to Kafka
DB table performance if you have a proper index on the time column.
After all its uses JDBC to fetch data from the database so implies all that you face on a single JDBC application
As per my experience JDBC connector is pretty fas

How do I create the json for creating a distributed Kafka Connect Instance with a transformation?

Using standalone mode I create a connector and my customized transformation like that:
name=rabbitmq-source
connector.class=com.github.jcustenborder.kafka.connect.rabbitmq.RabbitMQSourceConnector
tasks.max=1
rabbitmq.host=rabbitmq-server
rabbitmq.queue=answers
kafka.topic=net.gutefrage.answers
transforms=extractFields
transforms.extractFields.type=net.gutefrage.connector.transforms.ExtractFields$Value
transforms.extractFields.fields=body,envelope.routingKey
transforms.extractFields.structName=net.gutefrage.events
But for a distributed connector what is the syntax for the PUT request to the Connect REST API? I cannot find any example in the docs.
Already tried a couple of things like:
cat <<EOF >/tmp/connector
{
"name": "rabbitmq-source",
"config": {
"connector.class": "com.github.jcustenborder.kafka.connect.rabbitmq.RabbitMQSourceConnector",
"tasks.max": "1",
"rabbitmq.host": "rabbitmq-server",
"rabbitmq.queue": "answers",
"kafka.topic": "net.gutefrage.answers",
"transforms": "extractFields",
"transforms.extractFields": {
"type": "net.gutefrage.connector.transforms.ExtractFields$Value",
"fields": "body,envelope.routingKey",
"structName": "net.gutefrage.events"
}
}
}
EOF
curl -vs --stderr - -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data #/tmp/connector "http://localhost:8083/connectors"
rm /tmp/connector
or also this did not work:
{
"name": "rabbitmq-source",
"config": {
"connector.class": "com.github.jcustenborder.kafka.connect.rabbitmq.RabbitMQSourceConnector",
"tasks.max": "1",
"rabbitmq.host": "rabbitmq-server",
"rabbitmq.queue": "answers",
"kafka.topic": "net.gutefrage.answers",
"transforms": "extractFields",
"transforms.extractFields.type": "net.gutefrage.connector.transforms.ExtractFields$Value",
"transforms.extractFields.fields": "body,envelope.routingKey",
"transforms.extractFields.structName": "net.gutefrage.events"
}
}
For the last variant I get the following error:
{"error_code":400,"message":"Connector configuration is invalid and contains the following 1 error(s):\nInvalid value class net.gutefrage.connector.transforms.ExtractFields for configuration transforms.extractFields.type: Error getting config definition from Transformation: null\nYou can also find the above list of errors at the endpoint `/{connectorType}/config/validate`"}
Please note that with the properties format it works nicely (using Landoops Create New Connector UI in fast-data-dev. Interesting that the Landoop's Ui feature 'translate to curl' produces the very same json as my second example)
Update
To be sure that it's not a problem with Landoop, docker and with my custom transformation, I've started zookeeper, broker, schema registry and Kafka Connect in distributed mode with the standard distributed properties from COP 3.3.0
bin/connect-distributed etc/schema-registry/connect-avro-distributed.properties
which logs
[2017-09-13 14:07:52,930] INFO Loading plugin from: /opt/connectors/confluent-oss-gf-assembly-1.0.jar (org.apache.kafka.connect.runtime.isolation.DelegatingClassLoader:176)

All good so far. Then I created a connector config:
cat <<EOF >/tmp/connector
{
"name": "rabbitmq-source",
"config": {
"connector.class": "com.github.jcustenborder.kafka.connect.rabbitmq.RabbitMQSourceConnector",
"tasks.max": "1",
"rabbitmq.host": "rabbitmq-server",
"rabbitmq.queue": "answers",
"kafka.topic": "net.gutefrage.answers",
"transforms": "extractFields",
"transforms.extractFields.type": "org.apache.kafka.connect.transforms.ExtractField$Value",
"transforms.extractFields.field": "body"
}
}
EOF
Please note that there I do now use the standard (bundled) extract field transform.
When I post that with curl -vs --stderr - -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data #/tmp/connector "http://localhost:8083/connectors"
I get the same
{"error_code":400,"message":"Connector configuration is invalid and contains the following 1 error(s):\nInvalid value class org.apache.kafka.connect.transforms.ExtractField for configuration transforms.extractFields.type: Error getting config definition from Transformation: null\nYou can also find the above list of errors at the endpoint `/{connectorType}/config/validate`"}*
Make sure the $Value in transforms.extractFields.type=net.gutefrage.connector.transforms.ExtractFields$Value is not interpreted as a variable by the bash command cat. It worked for me.
If you want to run the Kafka Connect worker in standalone mode, then you must start the worker and supply the worker configuration file and one or more connector configuration files. All of those configuration files are in Java properties format, so the first configuration sample you provided is the correct format:
name=rabbitmq-source
connect.class=com.github.jcustenborder.kafka.connect.rabbitmq.RabbitMQSourceConnector
tasks.max=1
rabbitmq.host=rabbitmq-server
rabbitmq.queue=answers
kafka.topic=net.gutefrage.answers
transforms=extractFields
transforms.extractFields.type=net.gutefrage.connector.transforms.ExtractFields$Value
transforms.extractFields.fields=body,envelope.routingKey
transforms.extractFields.structName=net.gutefrage.events
If you want to run the Kafka Connect worker in distributed mode, then you will have to first start the distributed worker and then create the connector as a second step using the REST API and a PUT request with a JSON document to the /connectors endpoint. That JSON document would match the format of you're second JSON document:
{
"name": "rabbitmq-source",
"config": {
"connector.class": "com.github.jcustenborder.kafka.connect.rabbitmq.RabbitMQSourceConnector",
"tasks.max": "1",
"rabbitmq.host": "rabbitmq-server",
"rabbitmq.queue": "answers",
"kafka.topic": "net.gutefrage.answers",
"transforms": "extractFields",
"transforms.extractFields.type": "net.gutefrage.connector.transforms.ExtractFields$Value",
"transforms.extractFields.fields": "body,envelope.routingKey",
"transforms.extractFields.structName": "net.gutefrage.events"
}
}
The Confluent CLI, included in Confluent's Open Source Platform that includes Kafka, is a developer tool to help you quickly get started by running a Zookeeper instance, a Kafka broker, the Confluent Schema Registry, the REST proxy, and a Connect worker in distributed mode. When you load a connector, you specify the connector configuration as either a JSON file or property file, converting the latter to a JSON format using jq.
However, the error you reported is:
{
"error_code":400,
"message":"Connector configuration is invalid and contains the following 1 error(s):\nInvalid value class net.gutefrage.connector.transforms.ExtractFields for configuration transforms.extractFields.type: Error getting config definition from Transformation: null\nYou can also find the above list of errors at the endpoint `/{connectorType}/config/validate`"
}
The important part of this error message is "Error getting config definition from Transformation: null". Although this is a bit too cryptic, it means that the config() method of the net.gutefrage.connector.transforms.ExtractFields Java class is returning null.
Make sure that the net.gutefrage.connector.transforms.ExtractFields$Valuestring you specified is the correct fully qualified name for the nested static class Value, and that the Value class fully and correctly implements the org.apache.kafka.connect.transforms.Transformation<? extends ConnectRecord<R>> interface. Note that the config() method must return a non-null ConfigDef object.
Take a look at this example of a Single Message Transform (SMT) that ships with Apache Kafka, or Robin's blog post for other examples.
For using json format of connector config and the CP connect CLI, the jq tool has to be installed on the machine where the Kafka-Connect Cluster is running.
E.g. for Landoops fast-data-dev environment you'll have to
docker exec rabbitmqconnect_fast-data-dev_1 apk add --no-cache jq
Then this will work:
docker exec rabbitmqconnect_fast-data-dev_1 /opt/confluent-3.3.0/bin/confluent config rabbitmq-source -d /tmp/connector-config.json
This doesn't solve the issue when using the connector REST endpoint though.
With fast-data-dev you can build a JAR file for any connector, and then just add it in the classpath with the instructions at
https://github.com/Landoop/fast-data-dev#enable-additional-connectors
The UI will auto-detect the new connector - and provide you instructions when you hit NEW for the new connector at:
http://localhost:3030/kafka-connect-ui
What would also be worth trying - as fast-data-dev comes already with an generic MQTT sink connector, is trying it out. See instructions at http://docs.datamountaineer.com/en/latest/mqtt-sink.html
You would effectively need to do
connect.mqtt.kcql=INSERT INTO /answers SELECT body FROM net.gutefrage.answers
As this is a generic MQTT connector - possibly you will need to add the rabbitmq client library using the enable-additional-connectors instructions
