KafkaConfig¶

KafkaConfig is configuration properties of a Kafka broker.

KafkaConfig is a AbstractConfig.

Accessing KafkaConfig¶

import kafka.server.KafkaConfig
import java.util.Properties
val props = new Properties()
props.put("zookeeper.connect", ":2181") // a required property
val config = KafkaConfig.fromProps(props, doLog = true)
assert(config.uncleanLeaderElectionEnable == false)

authorizer.class.name¶

The fully-qualified name of a class that implements Authorizer interface, which is used by the broker for request authorization.

Default: empty

Use KafkaConfig.authorizerClassName to access the current value.

Used when:

BrokerServer is requested to start up
ControllerServer is requested to start up
KafkaServer is requested to start up

broker.id¶

The broker ID of this Kafka server.

Default: -1

If unset or negative, a unique broker id will be generated (when KafkaServer is requested to start up).

To avoid conflicts between zookeeper generated broker id's and user configured broker id's, generated broker ids start from reserved.broker.max.id + 1

Use KafkaConfig.brokerId to access the current value.

import kafka.server.KafkaConfig
// For some reason zookeeper.connect is required?!
val m = Map(
  "zookeeper.connect" -> "xxx"
)
val props = new java.util.Properties()
import scala.jdk.CollectionConverters._
props.putAll(m.asJava)
val config = KafkaConfig.fromProps(props)
assert(config.brokerId == -1)

broker.id.generation.enable¶

Enables broker id generation on a server. When enabled, reserved.broker.max.id should be reviewed.

Default: true

Use brokerIdGenerationEnable to access the current value.

default.replication.factor¶

inter.broker.protocol.version¶

Specify which version of the inter-broker protocol to use. Typically bumped up after all brokers were upgraded to a new version.

Default: The latest version of ApiVersion of the broker

log.cleaner.enable¶

Enables LogCleaner

Default: true

Should be enabled if using any topics with a cleanup.policy=compact including the internal offsets topic
If disabled those topics will not be compacted and continually grow in size.

Used when:

CleanerConfig is created

log.cleaner.threads¶

The number of background threads to use for log cleaning (by LogCleaner)

Default: 1

Must be at least 0

Reconfigurable Config

Used when:

CleanerConfig is created

log.cleaner.backoff.ms¶

How long to pause a CleanerThread (until next log cleaning attempt) when there are no logs to clean

Default: 15 * 1000

Must be at least 0

Reconfigurable Config

Used when:

CleanerConfig is created

num.partitions¶

offsets.topic.num.partitions¶

The number of partitions for __consumer_offsets offset commit topic (should not change after deployment)

For every partition there is a GroupCoordinator elected to handle consumer groups that are "assigned" to this partition.

Default: 50

Must be at least 1

Use KafkaConfig.offsetsTopicPartitions to access the current value.

Used when:

GroupCoordinator is requested to create an OffsetConfig
DefaultAutoTopicCreationManager is requested to creatableTopic
KafkaServer is requested to start up (and starts up the GroupCoordinator)
BrokerMetadataPublisher is requested to initializeManagers (and starts up the GroupCoordinator)

offsets.topic.replication.factor¶

process.roles¶

A comma-separated list of the roles that this process plays in a Kafka cluster:

Supported values:

broker
controller

Default: (empty)

When empty, the process requires Zookeeper (runs with Zookeeper).
Only applicable for clusters in KRaft (Kafka Raft) mode
If used, controller.quorum.voters must contain a parseable set of voters
advertised.listeners config must not contain KRaft controller listeners from controller.listener.names when process.roles contains broker role because Kafka clients that send requests via advertised listeners do not send requests to KRaft controllers -- they only send requests to KRaft brokers
If process.roles contains controller role, the node.id must be included in the set of voters controller.quorum.voters
If process.roles contains just the broker role, the node.id must not be included in the set of voters controller.quorum.voters
If controller.listener.names has multiple entries; only the first will be used when process.roles is broker
The advertised listeners (advertised.listeners or listeners) config must only contain KRaft controller listeners from controller.listener.names when process.roles is controller

request.timeout.ms¶

request.timeout.ms

transaction.abort.timed.out.transaction.cleanup.interval.ms¶

transactional.id.expiration.ms¶

transaction.max.timeout.ms¶

transaction.remove.expired.transaction.cleanup.interval.ms¶

transaction.state.log.num.partitions¶

The number of partitions for the transaction topic

Default: 50

Must be at least 1

transaction.state.log.replication.factor¶

transaction.state.log.segment.bytes¶

transaction.state.log.load.buffer.size¶

transaction.state.log.min.isr¶

unclean.leader.election.enable¶

Enables replicas not in the ISR to be elected as leaders as a last resort, even though it is not guaranteed to have every committed message (and may even result in data loss).

It is to support use cases where uptime and availability are preferable over consistency and allow non-in-sync replicas to become partition leaders.

Default: false (disabled)

Unclean leader election is automatically enabled by the controller when this config is dynamically updated by using per-topic config override.

Use KafkaConfig.uncleanLeaderElectionEnable to access the current value.

Per-topic configuration: unclean.leader.election.enable

Used when:

TopicConfigHandler is requested to processConfigChanges (to enableTopicUncleanLeaderElection on an active controller)

Utilities¶

DynamicBrokerConfig¶

dynamicConfig: DynamicBrokerConfig

KafkaConfig initializes dynamicConfig when created (based on the optionaldynamicConfigOverride).

The DynamicBrokerConfig is used when:

FIXME

interBrokerProtocolVersion¶

interBrokerProtocolVersion: ApiVersion

interBrokerProtocolVersion creates a ApiVersion for the inter.broker.protocol.version.

requiresZookeeper¶

requiresZookeeper: Boolean

requiresZookeeper is true when process.roles is empty.

Creating Instance¶

KafkaConfig takes the following to be created:

doLog flag
Properties
DynamicBrokerConfig

KafkaConfig is created when:

DynamicBrokerConfig is requested to initialize, reloadUpdatedFilesWithoutConfigChange, processReconfiguration
KafkaConfig is requested to fromProps, apply

dynamicConfigOverride¶

KafkaConfig can be given a DynamicBrokerConfig when created.

Note

DynamicBrokerConfig seems never be given.

KafkaConfig creates a new DynamicBrokerConfig for dynamicConfig unless given.

Creating KafkaConfig Instance¶

fromProps¶

fromProps(
  props: Properties): KafkaConfig
fromProps(
  props: Properties,
  doLog: Boolean): KafkaConfig
fromProps(
  defaults: Properties,
  overrides: Properties): KafkaConfig
fromProps(
  defaults: Properties,
  overrides: Properties,
  doLog: Boolean): KafkaConfig

fromProps...FIXME

fromProps is used when:

Kafka is requested to build a Server
AclAuthorizer is requested to configure

apply¶

apply(
  props: Map[_, _],
  doLog: Boolean = true): KafkaConfig

apply...FIXME

apply seems to be used for testing only.
