                 Per day stats
                 • writes: 10+ billion messages (2+TB compressed data)
                 • reads: 50+ billion messages
Kafka vs. Other Messaging Systems
•   Scale-out from groundup
•   Persistence to disks
•   High throughput (10s MB/sec per server)
•   Multi-subscription

Kafka Architecture
         Producer                            Producer




Broker              Broker   Zookeeper   Broker         Broker




         Consumer                                 Consumer
Terminologies
• Topic = message stream
• Topic has partitions
  – partitions distributed to brokers
• Partition has a log on disk
  – message persisted in log
  – message addressed by offset
API
• Producer
  messages = new List<KeyedMessage<K,V>>();
  messages.add(newKeyedMessage(“topic1”, null, “msg1”);
  send(messages);



• Consumer
  streams[] = Consumer.createMessageStream(“topic1”, 1);

  for(message: streams[0]) {
     // do something with message
  }
Deliver High Throughput
• Simple storage
                    logs in broker
                                                     msg-1
                                                     msg-2
             topic1:part1      topic2:part1          msg-3
                                                     msg-4   index

                                                      …
                                                      …
             segment-2          segment-2            msg-n



                                              read()
             segment-n          segment-n
                                              append()



• Batched writes and reads
• Zero-copy transfer from file to socket
• Compression (batched)
Outline
•   Overview of Kafka
•   Kafka architecture
•   Kafka replication design
•   Performance
•   Q/A
Why Replication
• Broker can go down
  – controlled: rolling restart for code/config push
  – uncontrolled: isolated broker failure
• If broker down
  – some partitions unavailable
  – could be permanent data loss
• Replication  higher availability and
  durability
CAP Theorem
• Pick two from
  – consistency
  – availability
  – network partitioning
Kafka Replication: Pick CA
• Brokers within a datacenter
  – i.e., network partitioning is rare
• Strong consistency
  – replicas byte-wise identical
• Highly available
  – typical failover time: < 10ms
Replicas and Layout
• Partition has replicas
• Replicas spread evenly among brokers


       logs              logs           logs           logs

    topic1-part1      topic1-part2   topic2-part1   topic2-part2

    topic2-part2      topic1-part1   topic1-part2   topic2-part1

    topic2-part1      topic2-part2   topic1-part1   topic1-part2

      broker 1          broker 2       broker 3        broker 4
Maintain Strongly Consistent Replicas
•   One of the replicas is leader
•   All writes go to leader
•   Leader propagates writes to followers in order
•   Leader decides when to commit message
Conventional Quorum-based Commit
• Wait for majority of replicas (e.g. Zookeeper)
• Plus: good latency
• Minus: 2f+1 replicas  tolerate f failures
  – ideally want to tolerate 2f failures
Commit Messages in Kafka
• Leader maintains in-sync-replicas (ISR)
  – initially, all replicas in ISR
  – message committed if received by ISR
  – follower fails  dropped from ISR
  – leader commits using new ISR
• Benefit: f replicas  tolerate f-1 failures
  – latency less an issue within datacenter
Data Flow in Replication

           When producer receives ack Latency                                     Durabilityon failures
           no ack                                      no network delay           some data loss
           wait for leader                             1 network roundtrip        a few data loss
           wait for committed                          2 network roundtrips no data loss

           Only committed messages exposed to consumers
                • independent of ack type chosen by producer

• Leaders are evenly spread among brokers
Handling Follower Failures
• Leader maintains last committed offset
  – propagated to followers
  – checkpointed to disk
• When follower restarts
  – truncate log to last committed
  – fetch data from leader
  – fully caught up  added to ISR
Handling Leader Failure
• Use an embedded controller (inspired by Helix)
  – detect broker failure via Zookeeper
  – on leader failure: elect new leader from ISR
  – committed messages not lost
• Leader and ISR written to Zookeeper
  – for controller failover
  – expected to change infrequently
Example of Replica Recovery
1. ISR = {A,B,C}; Leader A commits message m1;
                  L (A)   F (B)        F (C)
                  m1       m1           m1
last committed             m2
                  m2
                  m3

2. A fails and B is new leader; ISR = {B,C}; B commits m2, but not m3
                  L (A)   L (B)        F (C)
                  m1       m1           m1
                  m2       m2           m2
                  m3

3. B commits new messages m4, m5
                  L (A)   L (B)        F (C)
                  m1       m1           m1
                  m2       m2           m2
                  m3       m4           m4
                           m5           m5


4. A comes back, truncates to m1 and catches up; finally ISR = {A,B,C}
                  F (A)   L (B)        F (C)                 F (A)       L (B)   F (C)
                  m1       m1           m1                   m1           m1      m1
                           m2           m2                   m2           m2      m2
                           m4           m4                   m4           m4      m4

  • 16. Kafka Replication: Pick CA • Brokers within a datacenter – i.e., network partitioning is rare • Strong consistency – replicas byte-wise identical • Highly available – typical failover time: < 10ms
  • 17. Replicas and Layout • Partition has replicas • Replicas spread evenly among brokers logs logs logs logs topic1-part1 topic1-part2 topic2-part1 topic2-part2 topic2-part2 topic1-part1 topic1-part2 topic2-part1 topic2-part1 topic2-part2 topic1-part1 topic1-part2 broker 1 broker 2 broker 3 broker 4
  • 18. Maintain Strongly Consistent Replicas • One of the replicas is leader • All writes go to leader • Leader propagates writes to followers in order • Leader decides when to commit message
  • 19. Conventional Quorum-based Commit • Wait for majority of replicas (e.g. Zookeeper) • Plus: good latency • Minus: 2f+1 replicas  tolerate f failures – ideally want to tolerate 2f failures
  • 20. Commit Messages in Kafka • Leader maintains in-sync-replicas (ISR) – initially, all replicas in ISR – message committed if received by ISR – follower fails  dropped from ISR – leader commits using new ISR • Benefit: f replicas  tolerate f-1 failures – latency less an issue within datacenter
  • 21. Data Flow in Replication producer 2 ack 1 2 leader follower follower 3 commit 4 topic1-part1 topic1-part1 topic1-part1 consumer broker 1 broker 2 broker 3 When producer receives ack Latency Durabilityon failures no ack no network delay some data loss wait for leader 1 network roundtrip a few data loss wait for committed 2 network roundtrips no data loss Only committed messages exposed to consumers • independent of ack type chosen by producer
  • 22. Extend to Multiple Partitions producer leader follower follower topic1-part1 topic1-part1 topic1-part1 producer leader follower follower producer topic2-part1 topic2-part1 topic2-part1 follower follower leader topic3-part1 topic3-part1 topic3-part1 broker 1 broker 2 broker 3 broker 4 • Leaders are evenly spread among brokers
  • 23. Handling Follower Failures • Leader maintains last committed offset – propagated to followers – checkpointed to disk • When follower restarts – truncate log to last committed – fetch data from leader – fully caught up  added to ISR
  • 24. Handling Leader Failure • Use an embedded controller (inspired by Helix) – detect broker failure via Zookeeper – on leader failure: elect new leader from ISR – committed messages not lost • Leader and ISR written to Zookeeper – for controller failover – expected to change infrequently
  • 25. Example of Replica Recovery 1. ISR = {A,B,C}; Leader A commits message m1; L (A) F (B) F (C) m1 m1 m1 last committed m2 m2 m3 2. A fails and B is new leader; ISR = {B,C}; B commits m2, but not m3 L (A) L (B) F (C) m1 m1 m1 m2 m2 m2 m3 3. B commits new messages m4, m5 L (A) L (B) F (C) m1 m1 m1 m2 m2 m2 m3 m4 m4 m5 m5 4. A comes back, truncates to m1 and catches up; finally ISR = {A,B,C} F (A) L (B) F (C) F (A) L (B) F (C) m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m1 m2 m2 m2 m2 m2 m4 m4 m4 m4 m4 m5 m5 m5 m5 m5
  • 26. Outline • Overview of Kafka • Kafka architecture • Kafka replication design • Performance • Q/A
  • 27. Setup • 3 brokers • 1 topic with 1 partition • Replication factor=3 • Message size = 1KB
  • 28. Choosing btw Latency and Durability When producer Time to publish Durabilityon receives ack a message (ms) failures no ack 0.29 some data loss wait for leader 1.05 a few data loss wait for committed 2.05 no data loss
  • 29. Producer Throughput varying messages per send varying # concurrent producers 70 70 60 60 50 50 MB/s MB/s 40 40 no ack no ack 30 30 20 leader 20 leader 10 committed 10 committed 0 0 1 10 100 1000 1 5 10 20 messages per send # producers
