How to split a stream of events into substreams using Kafka Streams

Use the split() and branch() method, see below. Notice the last predicate which simply returns true, which acts as an "else" statement to catch all events that don’t match the other predicates.

        builder.<String, ActingEvent>stream(inputTopic)
              .split()
              .branch(
                   (key, appearance) -> "drama".equals(appearance.getGenre()),
                   Branched.withConsumer(ks -> ks.to(allProps.getProperty("output.drama.topic.name"))))
              .branch(
                   (key, appearance) -> "fantasy".equals(appearance.getGenre()),
                   Branched.withConsumer(ks -> ks.to(allProps.getProperty("output.fantasy.topic.name"))))
              .branch(
                   (key, appearance) -> true,
                   Branched.withConsumer(ks -> ks.to(allProps.getProperty("output.other.topic.name"))));

Prerequisites

This tutorial installs Confluent Platform using Docker. Before proceeding:

• Install Docker Desktop (version 4.0.0 or later) or Docker Engine (version 19.03.0 or later) if you don’t already have it
• Install the Docker Compose plugin if you don’t already have it. This isn’t necessary if you have Docker Desktop since it includes Docker Compose.
• Start Docker if it’s not already running, either by starting Docker Desktop or, if you manage Docker Engine with systemd, via systemctl
• Verify that Docker is set up properly by ensuring no errors are output when you run docker info and docker compose version on the command line

Initialize the project

To get started, make a new directory anywhere you’d like for this project:

mkdir split-stream && cd split-stream

Get Confluent Platform

Next, create the following docker-compose.yml file to obtain Confluent Platform (for Kafka in the cloud, see Confluent Cloud):

version: '2'
services:
  broker:
    image: confluentinc/cp-kafka:7.4.1
    hostname: broker
    container_name: broker
    ports:
    - 29092:29092
    environment:
      KAFKA_BROKER_ID: 1
      KAFKA_LISTENER_SECURITY_PROTOCOL_MAP: PLAINTEXT:PLAINTEXT,PLAINTEXT_HOST:PLAINTEXT,CONTROLLER:PLAINTEXT
      KAFKA_ADVERTISED_LISTENERS: PLAINTEXT://broker:9092,PLAINTEXT_HOST://localhost:29092
      KAFKA_OFFSETS_TOPIC_REPLICATION_FACTOR: 1
      KAFKA_GROUP_INITIAL_REBALANCE_DELAY_MS: 0

      KAFKA_PROCESS_ROLES: broker,controller
      KAFKA_NODE_ID: 1
      KAFKA_CONTROLLER_QUORUM_VOTERS: 1@broker:29093
      KAFKA_LISTENERS: PLAINTEXT://broker:9092,CONTROLLER://broker:29093,PLAINTEXT_HOST://0.0.0.0:29092

      KAFKA_LOG_DIRS: /tmp/kraft-combined-logs
      CLUSTER_ID: MkU3OEVBNTcwNTJENDM2Qk
  schema-registry:
    image: confluentinc/cp-schema-registry:7.3.0
    hostname: schema-registry
    container_name: schema-registry
    depends_on:
    - broker
    ports:
    - 8081:8081
    environment:
      SCHEMA_REGISTRY_HOST_NAME: schema-registry
      SCHEMA_REGISTRY_KAFKASTORE_BOOTSTRAP_SERVERS: broker:9092
      SCHEMA_REGISTRY_LOG4J_ROOT_LOGLEVEL: WARN

And launch it by running:

docker compose up -d

Configure the project

Then create the following Gradle build file, named build.gradle for the project:

buildscript {
  repositories {
    mavenCentral()
  }
  dependencies {
    classpath "gradle.plugin.com.github.jengelman.gradle.plugins:shadow:7.0.0"
  }
}

plugins {
  id "java"
  id "com.github.davidmc24.gradle.plugin.avro" version "1.7.0"
}

sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_17
targetCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_17
version = "0.0.1"

repositories {
  mavenCentral()


  maven {
    url "https://packages.confluent.io/maven"
  }
}

apply plugin: "com.github.johnrengelman.shadow"

dependencies {
  implementation "org.apache.avro:avro:1.11.1"
  implementation "org.slf4j:slf4j-simple:2.0.7"
  implementation 'org.apache.kafka:kafka-streams:3.4.0'
    implementation ('org.apache.kafka:kafka-clients') {
       version {
           strictly '3.4.0'
        }
      }
  implementation "io.confluent:kafka-streams-avro-serde:7.3.0"
  testImplementation "org.apache.kafka:kafka-streams-test-utils:3.4.0"
  testImplementation "junit:junit:4.13.2"
}

test {
  testLogging {
    outputs.upToDateWhen { false }
    showStandardStreams = true
    exceptionFormat = "full"
  }
}

jar {
  manifest {
    attributes(
        "Class-Path": configurations.compileClasspath.collect { it.getName() }.join(" "),
        "Main-Class": "io.confluent.developer.SplitStream"
    )
  }
}

shadowJar {
  archiveBaseName = "kstreams-split-standalone"
  archiveClassifier = ""
}

And be sure to run the following command to obtain the Gradle wrapper:

gradle wrapper

Next, create a directory for configuration data:

mkdir configuration

Then create a development file at configuration/dev.properties:

application.id=splitting-app
bootstrap.servers=127.0.0.1:29092
schema.registry.url=http://127.0.0.1:8081

input.topic.name=acting-events
input.topic.partitions=1
input.topic.replication.factor=1

output.drama.topic.name=drama-acting-events
output.drama.topic.partitions=1
output.drama.topic.replication.factor=1

output.fantasy.topic.name=fantasy-acting-events
output.fantasy.topic.partitions=1
output.fantasy.topic.replication.factor=1

output.other.topic.name=other-acting-events
output.other.topic.partitions=1
output.other.topic.replication.factor=1

Create a schema for the events

Create a directory for the schemas that represent the events in the stream:

mkdir -p src/main/avro

Then create the following Avro schema file at src/main/avro/acting_event.avsc for the acting appearance events:

{
  "namespace": "io.confluent.developer.avro",
  "type": "record",
  "name": "ActingEvent",
  "fields": [
    {"name": "name", "type": "string"},
    {"name": "title", "type": "string"},
    {"name": "genre", "type": "string"}
  ]
}

Because we will use this Avro schema in our Java code, we’ll need to compile it. Run the following:

./gradlew build

Create the Kafka Streams topology

Create a directory for the Java files in this project:

mkdir -p src/main/java/io/confluent/developer

Then create the following file at src/main/java/io/confluent/developer/SplitStream.java. Notice the buildTopology method, which uses the Kafka Streams DSL. By using the split and Branched methods, which are stateless record-by-record operations, you can create branches for messages that match the predicate. If no predicates are matched, the event gets dropped from further processing, but in this case, notice the last predicate, which simply returns true. This acts as an "else" statement to catch all events that don’t match the other predicates.

Compile and run the Kafka Streams program

In your terminal, run:

./gradlew shadowJar

Now that an uberjar for the Kafka Streams application has been built, you can launch it locally. When you run the following, the prompt won’t return, because the application will run until you exit it:

java -jar build/libs/kstreams-split-standalone-0.0.1.jar configuration/dev.properties

Produce events to the input topic

In a new terminal, run:

docker exec -i schema-registry /usr/bin/kafka-avro-console-producer --topic acting-events --bootstrap-server broker:9092 --property value.schema="$(< src/main/avro/acting_event.avsc)"

When the console producer starts, it will log some messages and hang, waiting for your input. Type in one line at a time and press enter to send it. Each line represents an event. To send all of the events below, paste the following into the prompt and press enter:

{"name": "Meryl Streep", "title": "The Iron Lady", "genre": "drama"}
{"name": "Will Smith", "title": "Men in Black", "genre": "comedy"}
{"name": "Matt Damon", "title": "The Martian", "genre": "drama"}
{"name": "Judy Garland", "title": "The Wizard of Oz", "genre": "fantasy"}
{"name": "Jennifer Aniston", "title": "Office Space", "genre": "comedy"}
{"name": "Bill Murray", "title": "Ghostbusters", "genre": "fantasy"}
{"name": "Christian Bale", "title": "The Dark Knight", "genre": "crime"}
{"name": "Laura Dern", "title": "Jurassic Park", "genre": "fantasy"}
{"name": "Keanu Reeves", "title": "The Matrix", "genre": "fantasy"}
{"name": "Russell Crowe", "title": "Gladiator", "genre": "drama"}
{"name": "Diane Keaton", "title": "The Godfather: Part II", "genre": "crime"}

Consume the event subsets from the output topics

Leave your original terminal running. To consume the output events from each of the topic, you’ll need to open several new terminal windows. In each instance, the prompt will hang, waiting for more events to arrive. To continue studying the example, send more events through the input terminal prompt. Otherwise, you can Control-C to exit the process.

First, to consume the events of drama films, run the following:

docker exec -it schema-registry /usr/bin/kafka-avro-console-consumer --topic drama-acting-events --bootstrap-server broker:9092 --from-beginning

This should yield the following messages:

{"name":"Meryl Streep","title":"The Iron Lady","genre":"drama"}
{"name":"Matt Damon","title":"The Martian","genre":"drama"}
{"name":"Russell Crowe","title":"Gladiator","genre":"drama"}

Second, to consume those from fantasy films, run the following:

docker exec -it schema-registry /usr/bin/kafka-avro-console-consumer --topic fantasy-acting-events --bootstrap-server broker:9092 --from-beginning

This should yield the following messages:

{"name":"Judy Garland","title":"The Wizard of Oz","genre":"fantasy"}
{"name":"Bill Murray","title":"Ghostbusters","genre":"fantasy"}
{"name":"Laura Dern","title":"Jurassic Park","genre":"fantasy"}
{"name":"Keanu Reeves","title":"The Matrix","genre":"fantasy"}

And finally, to consume all the other genres, run the following:

docker exec -it schema-registry /usr/bin/kafka-avro-console-consumer --topic other-acting-events --bootstrap-server broker:9092 --from-beginning

This should yield the following messages:

{"name":"Will Smith","title":"Men in Black","genre":"comedy"}
{"name":"Jennifer Aniston","title":"Office Space","genre":"comedy"}
{"name":"Christian Bale","title":"The Dark Knight","genre":"crime"}
{"name":"Diane Keaton","title":"The Godfather: Part II","genre":"crime"}

Create a test configuration file

First, create a test file at configuration/test.properties:

application.id=splitting-app
bootstrap.servers=127.0.0.1:29092
schema.registry.url=mock://splitting-app:8081

input.topic.name=acting-events
input.topic.partitions=1
input.topic.replication.factor=1

output.drama.topic.name=drama-acting-events
output.drama.topic.partitions=1
output.drama.topic.replication.factor=1

output.fantasy.topic.name=fantasy-acting-events
output.fantasy.topic.partitions=1
output.fantasy.topic.replication.factor=1

output.other.topic.name=other-acting-events
output.other.topic.partitions=1
output.other.topic.replication.factor=1

Write a test

Then, create a directory for the tests to live in:

mkdir -p src/test/java/io/confluent/developer

Create the following test file at src/test/java/io/confluent/developer/SplitStreamTest.java:

Now run the test, which is as simple as:

./gradlew test

Run your app with Confluent Cloud

Instead of running a local Kafka cluster, you may use Confluent Cloud, a fully managed Apache Kafka service.

Sign up for Confluent Cloud, a fully managed Apache Kafka service.
After you log in to Confluent Cloud Console, click Environments in the lefthand navigation, click on Add cloud environment, and name the environment learn-kafka. Using a new environment keeps your learning resources separate from your other Confluent Cloud resources.
From the Billing & payment section in the menu, apply the promo code CC100KTS to receive an additional $100 free usage on Confluent Cloud (details). To avoid having to enter a credit card, add an additional promo code CONFLUENTDEV1. With this promo code, you will not have to enter a credit card for 30 days or until your credits run out.
Click on LEARN and follow the instructions to launch a Kafka cluster and enable Schema Registry.

Next, from the Confluent Cloud Console, click on Clients to get the cluster-specific configurations, e.g., Kafka cluster bootstrap servers and credentials, Confluent Cloud Schema Registry and credentials, etc., and set the appropriate parameters in your client application. In the case of this tutorial, add the following properties to the client application’s input properties file, substituting all curly braces with your Confluent Cloud values.

# Required connection configs for Kafka producer, consumer, and admin
bootstrap.servers={{ BROKER_ENDPOINT }}
security.protocol=SASL_SSL
sasl.jaas.config=org.apache.kafka.common.security.plain.PlainLoginModule required username='{{ CLUSTER_API_KEY }}' password='{{ CLUSTER_API_SECRET }}';
sasl.mechanism=PLAIN
# Required for correctness in Apache Kafka clients prior to 2.6
client.dns.lookup=use_all_dns_ips

# Best practice for Kafka producer to prevent data loss
acks=all

# Required connection configs for Confluent Cloud Schema Registry
schema.registry.url=https://{{ SR_ENDPOINT }}
basic.auth.credentials.source=USER_INFO
schema.registry.basic.auth.user.info={{ SR_API_KEY }}:{{ SR_API_SECRET }}

Now you’re all set to run your streaming application locally, backed by a Kafka cluster fully managed by Confluent Cloud.
