Apache Kafka Quick Start Guide

Overview of this book

Apache Kafka is a great open source platform for handling your real-time data pipeline to ensure high-speed filtering and pattern matching on the ?y. In this book, you will learn how to use Apache Kafka for efficient processing of distributed applications and will get familiar with solving everyday problems in fast data and processing pipelines. This book focuses on programming rather than the configuration management of Kafka clusters or DevOps. It starts off with the installation and setting up the development environment, before quickly moving on to performing fundamental messaging operations such as validation and enrichment. Here you will learn about message composition with pure Kafka API and Kafka Streams. You will look into the transformation of messages in different formats, such asext, binary, XML, JSON, and AVRO. Next, you will learn how to expose the schemas contained in Kafka with the Schema Registry. You will then learn how to work with all relevant connectors with Kafka Connect. While working with Kafka Streams, you will perform various interesting operations on streams, such as windowing, joins, and aggregations. Finally, through KSQL, you will learn how to retrieve, insert, modify, and delete data streams, and how to manipulate watermarks and windows.

HealthCheck message

The second step is to code the HealthCheck class. This class is a Plain Old Java Object (POJO). The model class is the template for the value object.

Open the project with your favorite IDE and, in the src/main/java/kioto directory, create a file called HealthCheck.java with the content of Listing 4.4.

The following is the content of Listing 4.4, HealthCheck.java:

package kioto;
import java.util.Date;
public final class HealthCheck {
private String event;
private String factory;
private String serialNumber;
private String type;
private String status;
private Date lastStartedAt;
private float temperature;
private String ipAddress;
}
Listing 4.4: HealthCheck.java

With your IDE, generate the following:

  • A no-parameter constructor
  • A constructor with all of the attributes passed as parameters
  • The getters and the setters for each attribute

This is a data class...
