Intermediate Stream Processing with ksqlDB

This code corresponds with Chapter 11 in the upcoming O'Reilly book: Mastering Kafka Streams and ksqlDB by Mitch Seymour. This tutorial picks up where the Chapter 10 tutorial leaves off. We can continue building our Netflix change tracking application by exploring more advanced topics, including:

  • Using joins to combine and enrich data
  • Performing aggregations
  • Executing pull queries (i.e. point lookups) against materialized views using the CLI
  • Working with built-in ksqlDB functions (scalar, aggregate, and table functions)
  • Creating user-defined functions using Java

Building the Custom ksqlDB Functions

Before you start the ksqlDB server (see the Running Locally section later in this README), you should first build any of the custom functions you want to experiment with so that the UDF JARs can be mounted into the ksqlDB server container (which is defined in the docker-compose.yml file). The following custom ksqlDB functions are currently included in our examples:

Custom UDF (remove_stop_words)

The custom function in the udf/ directory is what we built in Chapter 11. It's purpose is to remove stop words from a string of text. To build this UDF, run the following commands:

$ cd udf/
$ ./gradlew build --info

Running Locally

We're deploying the following components with Docker compose:

  • Zookeeper
  • Kafka
  • ksqlDB server (with Kafka Connect running in embedded mode)
  • ksqlDB CLI
  • Schema Registry
  • Postgres
  • Elasticsearch

Feel free to checkout the following config files:

Once you're ready to start everything, run the following command:

$ docker-compose up -d

Once the services are running, open another tab and log into the ksqlDB CLI using the following command:

$ docker-compose exec ksqldb-cli \
    ksql http://ksqldb-server:8088 \
     --config-file /etc/ksqldb-cli/cli.properties

If you see a Could not connect to the server error in the CLI, wait a few seconds and try again. ksqlDB can take several seconds to start.

Since this tutorial continues where Chapter 10 left off, we need to initialize the topics, streams, and tables from the previous chapter.. For your convenience, the relevant SQL statements have been mounted into the image, so you can use ksqlDB's RUN SCRIPT statement to execute them.

ksql> RUN SCRIPT '/etc/sql/init.sql' ;

Now, you can run each of the queries mentioned in the book from the CLI. Also, the entire set of queries needed for this chapter have been saved to the following file:

Once you're finished, tear everything down using the following command:

docker-compose down
