Adding Kafka Driver for Notification Usage in oslo_messaging
|
||||
=============================================================
|
||||
|
||||
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/oslo.messaging/+spec/adding-kafka-support
|
||||
|
||||
Apache Kafka is messaging broker which enables to establish nice log-centric communication bus in OpenStack.
|
||||
|
||||
Problem description
|
||||
===================
|
||||
|
||||
Some OpenStack services like Ceilometer and Monasca have the collaboration part with
|
||||
Apache Kafka, distributed messaging system, to publish and subscribe logs and metrics
|
||||
data. Since Kafka is well-designed log-centric messaging broker, it will be expected
|
||||
to appear the new Kafka related implementation in existing or future OpenStack projects.
|
||||
This blueprint aims to implement kafka driver in oslo_messaging, which enable us to
|
||||
reduce the wasting time to re-implement the same functionality, and since Kafka would
|
||||
have multiple clients from separate projects, to use the same client to communicate
|
||||
with Kafka will make the reduce of the implementation-dependent bugs and errors.
|
||||
|
||||
Proposed change
|
||||
===============
|
||||
|
||||
To reduce the cost of independently implementing kafka communication functionality,
|
||||
let's support for the kafka driver in oslo_messaging. Kafka driver enables us to publish
|
||||
and subscribe messages similar to the other oslo_messaging drivers, but will not
|
||||
support for the RPC methods since Kafka is not expected to be used as a RPC broker.
|
||||
In the future, if there are some needs for Kafka RPC, it will be a new proposal.
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatives
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
There are several messaging brokers currently not supported by oslo_messaging, for
|
||||
example NATS, NSQ and etc. However, Kafka have already been used more than one OpenStack
|
||||
projects, and also since Kafka is developed for handling high load logs, Kafka have
|
||||
several features which are better for logging data. For example, Kafka queue retains the
|
||||
messages for configured period of time. This means that when consumers of the queue lost
|
||||
messages after subscribing, they can replay the same message. Also additional kafka brokers
|
||||
and consumers are easily joined, because horizontal scaling of kafka is supported by
|
||||
Zookeeper. Moreover, kafka can send the bunch of messages together, this can contribute
|
||||
the performance and flexibility of messaging.

||||

Impact on Existing APIs

|

|
||||
Security impact
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
|
||||
Current security support of Kafka are under implementation. Authentication of clients
|
||||
and encrypting connections would be coming. More information can be found in the references.
|
||||
|
||||
Performance Impact
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
There would be no impact unless the kafka is selected for use.
|
||||
The overall performance will depend on the server component which the broker
|
||||
is setted up. The paper related to Kafka says that producers can publish about
|
||||
50,000 messages/sec on the condition that message size is 200 byte and messages
|
||||
are sent one by one. However, this number is affected by parameters such as
|
||||
message size, the number of replication, batch size (kafka can send multiple
|
||||
messages together), and environments. Roughly, RabbitMQ can publish about 10,000
|
||||
messages/sec, it means kafka might not be the bottleneck of performance.

|
||||
Adoption
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
Currently Ceilometer and Monasca are using Kafka service. Ceilomter project have
|
||||
Kafka publisher as a metrics publisher, and Monasca project is using kafka as
|
||||
a part of their architecture. For more detail, see the References chapter.

Documentation Impact
|
||||
====================
|
||||
|
||||
OpenStack developer documentation for oslo_messaging library will have the
|
||||
description for the behaviors and how to select kafka driver plugin.
