Kafka Connect for Hbase
A Sink connector to write to HBase.
I have the source connector implementation available at https://github.com/mravi/hbase-connect-kafka
Pre-requisites
- Confluent 2.0
- HBase 1.0.0
- JDK 1.8
Assumptions
- The HBase table already exists.
- Each Kafka topic is mapped to a HBase table.
Properties
Below are the properties that need to be passed in the configuration file:
name | data type | required | description |
---|---|---|---|
zookeeper.quorum | string | yes | Zookeeper quorum of the HBase cluster |
event.parser.class | string | yes | Can be either AvroEventParser or JsonEventParser to parse avro or json events respectively. |
topics | string | yes | list of kafka topics. |
hbase.<topicname> .rowkey.columns | string | yes | The columns that represent the rowkey of the hbase table <topicname> |
hbase.<topicname> .family | string | yes | Column family of the hbase table <topicname> . |
Example connector.properties file
name=kafka-cdc-hbase
connector.class=io.svectors.hbase.sink.HBaseSinkConnector
tasks.max=1
topics=test
zookeeper.quorum=localhost:2181
event.parser.class=io.svectors.hbase.parser.AvroEventParser
hbase.test.rowkey.columns=id
hbase.test.rowkey.delimiter=|
hbase.test.family=d
Packaging
- mvn clean package
Deployment
-
Follow the Getting started guide for HBase.
-
Copy hbase-sink.jar and hbase-sink.properties from the project build location to
$CONFLUENT_HOME/share/java/kafka-connect-hbase
mkdir $CONFLUENT_HOME/share/java/kafka-connect-hbase
cp target/hbase-sink.jar $CONFLUENT_HOME/share/java/kafka-connect-hbase/
cp hbase-sink.properties $CONFLUENT_HOME/share/java/kafka-connect-hbase/
- Start Zookeeper, Kafka and Schema registry
nohup $CONFLUENT_HOME/bin/zookeeper-server-start $CONFLUENT_HOME/etc/kafka/zookeeper.properties &
nohup $CONFLUENT_HOME/bin/kafka-server-start $CONFLUENT_HOME/etc/kafka/server.properties &
nohup $CONFLUENT_HOME/bin/schema-registry-start $CONFLUENT_HOME/etc/schema-registry/schema-registry.properties &"
-
Create HBase table 'test' from hbase shell
-
Start the hbase sink
export CLASSPATH=$CONFLUENT_HOME/share/java/kafka-connect-hbase/hbase-sink.jar
$CONFLUENT_HOME/bin/connect-standalone etc/schema-registry/connect-avro-standalone.properties etc/kafka-connect-hbase/hbase-sink.properties
- Test with avro console, start the console to create the topic and write values
$CONFLUENT_HOME/bin/kafka-avro-console-producer \
--broker-list localhost:9092 --topic test \
--property value.schema='{"type":"record","name":"record","fields":[{"name":"id","type":"int"}, {"name":"name", "type": "string"}]}'
#insert at prompt
{"id": 1, "name": "foo"}
{"id": 2, "name": "bar"}
