JIRA: KAFKA-7740

Please keep the discussion on the mailing list rather than commenting on the wiki (wiki discussions get unwieldy fast).

Motivation

Quota management via Admin Client has gone through a couple drafts of proposals (KIP-248, KIP-422). While improvements have been made to the Admin interface for configuration handling, fitting quotas into the API is awkward as they don't fit the natural key-value pairing, nor is the configuration output expressive enough to return all useful information. Therefore, it'd be beneficial to have a quota-native API for managing quotas, which would offer an intuitive and less error-prone interface, convey additional information beyond what the configuration APIs provide, and enable for future extensibility as quotas types are added or evolved.

Background

By default, quotas are defined in terms of a user and client ID, where the user acts as an opaque principal name, and the client ID as a generic group identifier. When setting quotas, an administrator has flexibility in how it specifies the user and client ID for which the quota applies, where the user and client ID may be specifically named, indicated as a default, or omitted entirely. Since quotas have flexible configurations, there is a method for resolving the quotas that apply to a request: a hierarchy structure is used, where the most specific defined quota will be matched to a request's user and client ID.

...

As such, reasoning around quotas can be complex, as it's not immediately obvious which quotas may apply to a given user and/or client ID. Providing descriptive information about how quotas are matched is the first goal of this KIP. Likewise, retrieving and modifying quota values can be done in a more expressive and robust way, which is the second goal of the KIP.

APIs

In order to clearly specify the APIs, let's first disambiguate some terminology: Every client request that is processed is associated with a quota entity, which is a map of entity types to their corresponding entity names for the request. Using the current entity types, an entity is of the form {user=test-user, client-id=test-client}, where user and client-id are the types, and test-user and test-client are the names. However, when specifying a quota configuration entry, only a subset of the entity types need to be provided, which is referred to as an entity match, for example, {user=<default>}.

...

Altering quotas only works on a config-centric manner, and therefore doesn't need distinguishing. For a given entity match, the administrator should be able to specify which quotas apply, or alternatively remove existing quotas so they no longer match. This is AlterClientQuotas.

The quota values are of type Double, which presents a complication in that the RPC protocol doesn't support floating point values. To accommodate this, RPC protocol message type 'double' will be added, which will serialize doubles according to the IEEE 754 floating-point "double format" bit layout.

Types Rationale

While there's two defined entity types in AK, a server-side plugin mechanism allows for further expansion. Likewise, as use cases evolve, finer-grained quota control may be necessary. Therefore, entity types should not be statically bound to publicly defined constants, and instead the API should support flexible entity types by interpreting them as a String identifier. Any entity types that the broker doesn't understand should throw an IllegalArgumentException back to the client.

...

Since a fixed set of entity types aren't defined, an entity should be represented by a Map<String, String>, which maps an entity type to the entity name.

Public Interfaces

Admin client calls will be added to correspond to DescribeClientQuotas, ResolveClientQuotas, and AlterClientQuotas, with supporting types defined in the common.quotas package.

kafka-client-quotas.sh/ClientQuotasCommand:

A ClientQuotasCommand would be constructed with an associated bin/kafka-client-quotas.sh script for managing quotas via command line, and would have three modes of operation, roughly correlating to each of the API calls:

  1. List: Lists the quota entities for the given entity specification and their corresponding quota values, as explicitly specified in the configuration. The user may provide explicit entity types+names, or a pattern to apply to an entity type find matching entity names. If an entity type is omitted from the input, it is treated as a wildcard.
  2. Describe: Describes the effective quotas for an entity, including contextual information about how those quotas were derived. This includes what configuration entries matched to the entity and, if requested, the overridden, less-specific matches for the entity.
  3. Alter: Modifies a quota configuration entry in an incremental manner, i.e. specify which entries to add, update, and/or remove.
Flags

Various flags will be used to accomplish these operations.

Common flags:
--bootstrap-server: The standard bootstrap server.
--command-config: Property file for the Admin client.

Operations (mutually exclusive):
--list: Lists the entities that match the given specification, and prints out their configuration values.
--describe: Describes the effective quota values for an entity.
--alter: Alters the configuration for the given specification.

Entity specification flags (common to all):
--names: Comma-separated list of type=name pairs, e.g. "user=some-user,client-id=some-client-id"
--defaults: Comma-separated list of entity types with the default name, e.g. "defaults=user,client-id" (Note a separate flag is necessary since names are opaque.)

Exclusive to --list:
--prefix: Comma-separated prefix=name pairs, e.g. "user=test-".

Exclusive to --describe: None.

Exclusive to --alter:
--add: Comma-separated list of entries to add or update to the configuration, in format "name=value".
--delete: Comma-separated list of entries to remove from the configuration, in format "name".
--validate-only: If set, validates the alteration but doesn't perform it.

Input

When specifying configuration entries, the form: quota-name[=quota-value] is used.

Output

In general, the output of the entities will be of the form: {entity-type=entity-name, ...}, where entity-name is sanitized for output since it is an opaque string. When displaying configuration values, the form: quota-name=quota-value.

When describing overridden entries in the ResolveClientQuotas, the entry is prefixed by a * to denote it's not effective.

Kafka RPC 'double' support (2.6.0)

Note that, while the ByteBuffer natively supports serializing a Double, the format in which the value is serialized is not strongly specified, so the preference is to explicitly ensure a standard representation of double-precision 64-bit IEEE 754 format. This is achieved in Java using Double.doubleToRawLongBits() and Double.longBitsToDouble() and should be easily portable to other languages.

Code Block
titleclients/src/main/java/org/apache/kafka/common/utils/ByteUtils.java
    /**
     * Read a double-precision 64-bit format IEEE 754 value.
     *
     * @param buffer The buffer to read from
     * @return The long value read
     */
    public static double readDouble(ByteBuffer buffer) {
        return Double.longBitsToDouble(buffer.getLong());
    }

    /**
     * Write the given double following the double-precision 64-bit format IEEE 754 value into the buffer.
     *
     * @param value The value to write
     * @param buffer The buffer to write to
     */
    public static void writeDouble(double value, ByteBuffer buffer) {
        buffer.putLong(Double.doubleToRawLongBits(value));

Compatibility, Deprecation, and Migration Plan

All changes would be are forward-compatible, and no migration plan is necessary. It's outside the scope of this KIP to deprecate any functionality.

Rejected Alternatives

  • Use existing describeConfigs/incrementalAlterConfigs for quota functionality. This falls short for a couple reasons. First, quotas entity names are more dynamic than brokers and tasks which makes them awkward to fit into generic tools which expect a single unique, distinct key, e.g. ConfigCommand. Second, there's no tool that expresses a way to get the effective quota resolved quota for an entity without some heavy engineering on the client side, which lacks extensibility and is more expensive to perform, especially over large collection of entities. Therefore, it makes sense to approach quotas as a standalone set of APIs that provide more targeted information and can properly support future extensibility.
