KafkaConnection

Kafka connection using the default driver.

Description

KafkaConnection is used to create Kafka connections using the default driver.

Important points By defining a connection and sharing it through multiple message queues you can reduce the number of used database connections.

Methods

CheckOpen

Checks if the connection is open.
Raises an error if the connection is closed.

(c *KafkaConnection) checkOpen(context IContext) error

  • returns: error - error or nil if no errors occurred.

Close

Closes a component and frees used resources.

(c *KafkaConnection) Close(ctx context.Context, context IContext) error

  • ctx: context.Context - operation context
  • context: IContext - (optional) a context to trace execution through a call chain.
  • returns: error - error or nil if no errors occurred.

Commit!

Note: this method is not implemented

Commit a message offset.

Configure

Configures the component by passing its configuration parameters.

(c *KafkaConnection) Configure(ctx context.Context, config *ConfigParams)

  • ctx: context.Context - operation context
  • config: *ConfigParams - configuration parameters to be set.

connectToAdmin

Connects an admin client on demand.

(c *KafkaConnection) connectToAdmin(context IContext) error

  • returns: error - error or nil if no errors occurred.

CreateQueue

Creates a message queue. If the connection doesn’t support this function, it exists without error.

(c *KafkaConnection) CreateQueue(name string) error

  • name: string - name of the queue to be created.
  • returns: error - error or nil if no errors occurred.

DeleteQueue

Deletes a message queue. If the connection doesn’t support this function, it exists without error.

(c *KafkaConnection) DeleteQueue(name string) error

  • name: string - name of the queue to be deleted.
  • returns: error - error or nil if no errors occurred.

GetConnection

Gets the connection.

(c *KafkaConnection) GetConnection() kafka.SyncProducer

  • returns: kafka.SyncProducer - connection to Kafka

IsOpen

Checks if the component is open.

(c *KafkaConnection) IsOpen() bool

  • returns: bool - true if the component is open and false otherwise.

Open

Opens the component.

(c *KafkaConnection) Open(ctx context.Context, context IContext) error

  • ctx: context.Context - operation context
  • context: IContext - (optional) a context to trace execution through a call chain.
  • returns: error - error or nil if no errors occurred.

Publish

Publish a message to a specified topic.

(c *KafkaConnection) Publish(ctx context.Context, topic string, messages []*kafka.ProducerMessage, config *kafka.Config) error

  • ctx: context.Context - operation context.
  • topic: string - topic where the message will be placed.
  • messages: []*kafka.ProducerMessage - list of messages to be published.
  • config: *kafka.Config - publishing options.
  • returns: error - error or nil if no errors occurred.

ReadQueueNames

Reads a list of registered queue names. If the connection doesn’t support this function, it returns an empty list.
