- using RQ/RP wire protocol to the controller instead of the current way (via ZK admin path) may expose concurrency on the admin requests, which may not be supported yet. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1305
Proposed RQ/RP Format
For each type of Admin Request a separate type of Wire protocol message is created.
Currently there are 5 types of messages which support TopicCommand - CreateTopic(Request | Response)
, AlterTopic
, DeleteTopic
, DescribeTopic
, ListTopics
. And a special message type to identify cluster info - ClusterMetadata
(read Kafka Admin Command Line Internals for details).
The same notation as in A Guide To The Kafka Protocol is used here. The only difference - new Kafka Protocol metatype - MaybeOf
("
?"
in notation), when used means value is optional in message. To define value existence special control byte is prepended before each value (0
- field is absent, otherwise - read value normally).
Cluster Metadata Request
ClusterMetadataRequest => |
Cluster Metadata Response
ClusterMEtadataResponse => ErrorCode [Broker] ?(Controller) ErrorCode => int16 Broker => NodeId Host Port NodeId => int32 Host => string Port => int32 Controller => Broker
|
ClusteMetadataRequest
is a request with no arguments.
ClusterMetadataResponse
holds error code (0
in case of successful result), list of brokers in cluster and optionally broker serving a Controller's role (returning empty Controller most likely means either error during request processing or cluster being in some intermediate state).
Admin RQ/RP format
All admin messages listed below are required to be sent only to Controller broker. Only controller will process such messages. If Admin message is sent to an ordinary broker a special error code is returned (code 22
). In case of other failure during processing message AdminRequestFailedError
is returned.
Error | Code | Description |
---|---|---|
| 21 | Unexpected error occurred while processing Admin request. |
InvalidRequestTarget | 22 | Target broker (id=<this_broker_id>) is not serving a controller's role. |
Create Topic Request
CreateTopicRequest => TopicName ?(Partitions) ?(Replicas) ?(ReplicaAssignment) [Config] TopicName => string Partitions => int32 Replicas => int32 ReplicaAssignment => string |
Create Topic Response
CreateTopicResponse => ErrorCode ?(ErrorDescription) ErrorCode => int16 ErrorDescription => string |
CreateTopicRequest
requires topic name and either (partitions+replicas) or replicas assignment to create topic (validation is done on server side). You can also specify topic-level configs to create topic with (to use default set an empty array), format key=value
.
CreateTopicResponse
is fairly simple - you receive error code (0
as always identifies NO_ERROR
) and optionally error description. Usually it will hold the higher level exception that happened during command execution.
Alter Topic Request
AlterTopicRequest => TopicName ?(Partitions) ?(ReplicaAssignment) [AddedConfig] [DeletedConfig] TopicName => string Partitions => int32 Replicas => int32
Deleted Config => string |
Alter Topic Response
AlterTopicResponse => ErrorCode ?(ErrorDescription) ErrorCode => int16 ErrorDescription => string
|
AlterTopicRequest
is similar to previous, to specify topic level settings that should be removed, use DeletedConfig
array (just setting keys).AlterTopicResponse
is similar to CreateTopicResponse
.
Delete Topic Request
DeleteTopicRequest => TopicName TopicName => string |
Delete Topic Response
DeleteTopicResponse => ErrorCode ?(ErrorDescription) ErrorCode => int16 ErrorDescription => string
|
DeleteTopicRequest
requires only topic name which should be deleted.
DeleteTopicResponse
is similar to CreateTopicResponse
.
Describe Topic Request
TopicName TopicName => string |
Describe Topic Response
DescribeTopicResponse => ErrorCode ?(ErrorDescription) ?(TopicDescription) ErrorCode => int16 ErrorDescription => string TopicDescription => TopicName TopicConfigDetails [TopicPartitionDetails] TopicName => string TopicConfigDetails => Partitions ReplicationFactor [Config] Partitions => int32 ReplicationFactor => int32 Config => overridden topic-level configs TopicPartitionsDetails => PartitionId ?(Leader) [Replica] [ISR] PartitionId => int32 Leader => int32 Replica => int32 ISR => int32 |
DescribeTopicRequest
requires only topic name.DescribeTopicResponse
besides errorCode and optional errorDescription which are used in the same way as in previous messages, holds optional (non empty if execution was successful) TopicDescription
structure. Its structure is the following:
Field | Description |
---|---|
TopicName | The name of the topic for which description is provided. |
TopicConfigDetails | A structure that holds basic replication details. |
Partitions | Number of partitions in give topic. |
Config | Topic-level setting and value which was overridden. |
TopicPartitionDetails | List describing replication details for each partition. |
PartitionId | Id of the partition. |
Leader | Optional broekr-leader id for the described partition. |
Replicas | List of broker ids serving a replica's role for the partition. |
ISR | Same as replicas but includes only brokers that are known to be "in-sync" |
List Topics Request
ListTopicsRequest => |
List Topics Response
ListTopicsResponse => ErrorCode ?(ErrorDescription) ?(TopicsList) ErrorCode => int16 ErrorDescription => string TopicsList => [TopicMarkedForDeletion] [AliveTopic] TopicMarkedForDeletion => string AliveTopic => string |
ListTopicsRequest
is a request with no arguments.ListTopicsResponse
besides errorCode and optional errorDescription which are used in the same way as in previous messages, holds optional (non empty if execution was successful) two list of topic names - one for deleted topics (marked for deletion) and the second one for ordinary, alive topics.
