Stream Reactor

This page contains the release notes for the Stream Reactor.

8.1.21

Azure Service Bus source

Performance improvements in the source to handle a higher throughput. The code now leverages prefetch count, and disables the auto complete. The following connector configs were added

  • connect.servicebus.source.prefetch.count The number of messages to prefetch from ServiceBus

  • connect.servicebus.source.complete.retries.max The maximum number of retries to attempt while completing a message

  • connect.servicebus.source.complete.retries.min.backoff.ms The minimum duration in milliseconds for the first backoff

  • connect.servicebus.source.sleep.on.empty.poll.ms The duration in milliseconds to sleep when no records are returned from the poll. This avoids a tight loop in Connect.

8.1.20

Datalakes extra logging

A NullPointerException is thrown and the sinks lose the stacktrace. It is a patch to enhance the logging

8.1.19

Prevent ElasticSearch from Skipping Records After Tombstone

Addresses a critical bug in ElasticSearch versions 6 (ES6) and 7 (ES7) where records following a tombstone are inadvertently skipped during the insertion process. The issue stemmed from an erroneous return statement that halted the processing of subsequent records.

8.1.18

🚀 New Features

Sequential Message Sending for Azure Service Bus

  • Introduced a new KCQL property: batch.enabled (default: true).

  • Users can now disable batching to send messages sequentially, addressing specific scenarios with large message sizes (e.g., >1 MB).

  • Why this matters: Batching improves performance but can fail for large messages. Sequential sending ensures reliability in such cases.

  • How to use: Configure batch.enabled=false in the KCQL mapping to enable sequential sending.

Post-Processing for Datalake Cloud Source Connectors

  • Added post-processing capabilities for AWS S3 and GCP Storage source connectors ( Azure Datalake Gen 2 support coming soon).

  • New KCQL properties:

    • post.process.action: Defines the action (DELETE or MOVE) to perform on source files after successful processing.

    • post.process.action.bucket: Specifies the target bucket for the MOVE action (required for MOVE).

    • post.process.action.prefix: Specifies a new prefix for the file’s location when using the MOVE action (required for MOVE).

  • Use cases:

    • Free up storage space by deleting files.

    • Archive or organize processed files by moving them to a new location.

  • Example 1 : Delete Files:

INSERT INTO `my-bucket`
SELECT * FROM `my-topic`
PROPERTIES ('post.process.action'=`DELETE`)

  • Example 2: Move files to an archive bucket:

INSERT INTO `my-bucket:archive/`
SELECT * FROM `my-topic`
PROPERTIES (
    'post.process.action'=`MOVE`,
    'post.process.action.bucket'=`archive-bucket`,
    'post.process.action.prefix'=`archive/`
)

🛠 Dependency Updates

Updated Azure Service Bus Dependencies

  • azure-core updated to version 1.54.1.

  • azure-messaging-servicebus updated to version 7.17.6.

These updates ensure compatibility with the latest Azure SDKs and improve stability and performance.

Upgrade Notes

  • Review the new KCQL properties and configurations for Azure Service Bus and Datalake connectors.

  • Ensure compatibility with the updated Azure Service Bus dependencies if you use custom extensions or integrations.

Thank you to all contributors! 🎉

8.1.17

  1. Improves ElasticSearch sinks by allowing the message key fields, or message headers to be used as part of the document primary key. Reference _key[.key_field_path or _header.header_name to set the document primary key

  2. Fixes the data lake sinks error message on flush.interval

8.1.16

Improvements to the HTTP Sink

  1. Queue Limiting: We've set a limit on the queue size per topic to reduce the chances of an Out-of-Memory (OOM) issue. Previously the queue was unbounded and in a scenario where the http calls are slow and the sink gets more records than it clears, it would eventually lead to OOM.

  2. Offering Timeout: The offering to the queue now includes a timeout. If there are records to be offered, but the timeout is exceeded, a retriable exception is thrown. Depending on the connector's retry settings, the operation will be attempted again. This helps avoid situations where the sink gets stuck processing a slow or unresponsive batch.

  3. Duplicate Record Handling: To prevent the same records from being added to the queue multiple times, we've introduced a Map[TopicPartition, Offset] to track the last processed offset for each topic-partition. This ensures that the sink does not attempt to process the same records repeatedly.

  4. Batch Failure Handling: The changes also address a situation where an HTTP call fails due to a specific input, but the batch is not removed from the queue. This could have led to the batch being retried indefinitely, which is now prevented.

8.1.15

HTTP sink ignores null records. Avoids a NPE if custom SMTs send null records to the pipeline

8.1.14

Improvements to the HTTP Sink reporter

    • Syntax Example: INSERT INTO foo SELECT * FROM bar NOPARTITION

7.4.3

All Connectors

Dependency version upgrades

Data Lake Sinks (AWS, Azure Datalake and GCP Storage)

This release introduces a new configuration option for three Kafka Connect Sink Connectors—S3, Data Lake, and GCP Storage—allowing users to disable exactly-once semantics. By default, exactly once is enabled, but with this update, users can choose to disable it, opting instead for Kafka Connect’s native at-least-once offset management.

S3 Sink Connector: connect.s3.exactly.once.enable Data Lake Sink Connector: connect.datalake.exactly.once.enable GCP Storage Sink Connector: connect.gcpstorage.exactly.once.enable

Default Value: true

Indexing is enabled by default to maintain exactly-once semantics. This involves creating an .indexes directory at the root of your storage bucket, with subdirectories dedicated to tracking offsets, ensuring that records are not duplicated.

Users can now disable indexing by setting the relevant property to false. When disabled, the connector will utilise Kafka Connect’s built-in offset management, which provides at-least-once semantics instead of exactly-once.

7.4.2

All Connectors

Dependency version upgrades

AWS S3 Source and GCP Storage Source Connectors

File Extension Filtering

Introduced new properties to allow users to filter the files to be processed based on their extensions.

For AWS S3 Source Connector:

  • connect.s3.source.extension.excludes: A comma-separated list of file extensions to exclude from the source file search. If this property is not configured, all files are considered.

  • connect.s3.source.extension.includes: A comma-separated list of file extensions to include in the source file search. If this property is not configured, all files are considered.

For GCP Storage Source Connector:

  • connect.gcpstorage.source.extension.excludes: A comma-separated list of file extensions to exclude from the source file search. If this property is not configured, all files are considered.

  • connect.gcpstorage.source.extension.includes: A comma-separated list of file extensions to include in the source file search. If this property is not configured, all files are considered.

These properties provide more control over the files that the AWS S3 Source Connector and GCP Storage Source Connector process, improving efficiency and flexibility.

GCP Storage Source and Sink Connectors

  • Increases the default HTTP Retry timeout from 250ms total timeout to 3 minutes as default. The default consumer group max.poll.timeout is 5 minutes, so it’s within the boundaries to avoid a group rebalance.

7.4.1

GCP Storage Connector

Adding retry delay multiplier as a configurable parameter (with default value) to Google Cloud Storage Connector. Main changes revolve around RetryConfig class and its translation to gax HTTP client config.

Data Lake Sinks (AWS, Azure Datalake and GCP Storage)

Making indexes directory configurable for both source and sink.

Sinks

Use the below properties to customise the indexes root directory:

  • connect.datalake.indexes.name

  • connect.gcpstorage.indexes.name

  • connect.s3.indexes.name

See connector documentation for more information.

Sources:

  • Use the below properties to exclude custom directories from being considered by the source.

  • connect.datalake.source.partition.search.excludes

  • connect.gcpstorage.source.partition.search.excludes

  • connect.s3.source.partition.search.excludes

NEW: Azure Service Bus Source Connector

NEW: GCP Pub/Sub Source Connector

Data Lake Sinks (AWS, Azure Datalake and GCP Storage)

  • To back the topics up the KCQL statement is

INSERT INTO bucket
SELECT * FROM `*`
...

When * is used the envelope setting is ignored.

This change allows for the * to be taken into account as a default if the given message topic is not found.

HTTP Sink

Bug fix to ensure that, if specified as part of the template, the Content-Type header is correctly populated.

All Connectors:

  • Update of dependencies.

Upgrading from any version prior to 7.0.0, please see the release and upgrade notes for 7.0.0.

7.2.0

Enhancements

  1. Automated Skip for Archived Objects:

  • The S3 source now seamlessly bypasses archived objects, including those stored in Glacier and Deep Archive. This enhancement improves efficiency by automatically excluding archived data from processing, avoiding the connector crashing otherwise

  1. Enhanced Key Storage in Envelope Mode:

  • Changes have been implemented to the stored key when using envelope mode. These modifications lay the groundwork for future functionality, enabling seamless replay of Kafka data stored in data lakes (S3, GCS, Azure Data Lake) from any specified point in time.

Full Changelog: https://github.com/lensesio/stream-reactor/compare/7.1.0...7.2.0

7.1.0

Source Line-Start-End Functionality Enhancements

We’ve rolled out enhancements to tackle a common challenge faced by users of the S3 source functionality. Previously, when an external producer abruptly terminated a file without marking the end message, data loss occurred.

To address this, we’ve introduced a new feature: a property entry for KCQL to signal the handling of unterminated messages. Meet the latest addition, read.text.last.end.line.missing. When set to true, this property ensures that in-flight data is still recognized as a message even when EOF is reached but the end line marker is missing.

Upgrading from any version prior to 7.0.0, please see the release and upgrade notes for 7.0.0.

7.0.0

Data-lakes Sink Connectors

This release brings substantial enhancements to the data-lakes sink connectors, elevating their functionality and flexibility. The focal point of these changes is the adoption of the new KCQL syntax, designed to improve usability and resolve limitations inherent in the previous syntax.

Key Changes

  • New KCQL Syntax: The data-lakes sink connectors now embrace the new KCQL syntax, offering users enhanced capabilities while addressing previous syntax constraints.

  • Data Lakes Sink Partition Name: This update ensures accurate preservation of partition names by avoiding the scraping of characters like \ and /. Consequently, SMTs can provide partition names as expected, leading to reduced configuration overhead and increased conciseness.

KCQL Keywords Replaced

Several keywords have been replaced with entries in the PROPERTIES section for improved clarity and consistency:

  • WITHPARTITIONER: Replaced by PROPERTIES ('partition.include.keys'=true/false). When WITHPARTITIONER KeysAndValue is set to true, the partition keys are included in the partition path. Otherwise, only the partition values are included.

  • WITH_FLUSH_SIZE: Replaced by PROPERTIES ('flush.size'=$VALUE).

  • WITH_FLUSH_COUNT: Replaced by PROPERTIES ('flush.count'=$VALUE).

  • WITH_FLUSH_INTERVAL: Replaced by PROPERTIES ('flush.interval'=$VALUE).

Benefits

The adoption of the new KCQL syntax enhances the flexibility of the data-lakes sink connectors, empowering users to tailor configurations more precisely to their requirements. By transitioning keywords to entries in the PROPERTIES section, potential misconfigurations stemming from keyword order discrepancies are mitigated, ensuring configurations are applied as intended.

Upgrades

Please note that the upgrades to the data-lakes sink connectors are not backward compatible with existing configurations. Users are required to update their configurations to align with the new KCQL syntax and PROPERTIES entries. This upgrade is necessary for any instances of the sink connector (S3, Azure, GCP) set up before version 7.0.0.

To upgrade to the new version, users must follow these steps:

  1. Stop the sink connectors.

  2. Update the connector to version 7.0.0.

  3. Edit the sink connectors’ KCQL setting to translate to the new syntax and PROPERTIES entries.

  4. Restart the sink connectors.

6.3.1

This update specifically affects datalake sinks employing the JSON storage format. It serves as a remedy for users who have resorted to a less-than-ideal workaround: employing a Single Message Transform (SMT) to return a Plain Old Java Object (POJO) to the sink. In such cases, instead of utilizing the Connect JsonConverter to seamlessly translate the payload to JSON, reliance is placed solely on Jackson.

However, it’s crucial to note that this adjustment is not indicative of a broader direction for future expansions. This is because relying on such SMT practices does not ensure an agnostic solution for storage formats (such as Avro, Parquet, or JSON).

6.3.0

NEW: HTTP Sink Connector

  • HTTP Sink Connector (Beta)

NEW: Azure Event Hubs Source Connector

  • Azure Event Hubs Source Connector.

All Connectors:

  • Update of dependencies, CVEs addressed.

Please note that the Elasticsearch 6 connector will be deprecated in the next major release.

6.2.0

NEW: GCP Storage Source Connector

AWS Source Connector

  • Important: The AWS Source Partition Search properties have changed for consistency of configuration. The properties that have changed for 6.2.0 are:

    • connect.s3.partition.search.interval changes to connect.s3.source.partition.search.interval.

    • connect.s3.partition.search.continuous changes to connect.s3.source.partition.search.continuous.

    • connect.s3.partition.search.recurse.levels changes to connect.s3.source.partition.search.recurse.levels.

  • If you use any of these properties, when you upgrade to the new version then your source will halt and the log will display an error message prompting you to adjust these properties. Be sure to update these properties in your configuration to enable the new version to run.

  • Dependency upgrade of Hadoop libraries version to mitigate against CVE-2022-25168.

JMS Source and Sink Connector

  • Jakarta Dependency Migration: Switch to Jakarta EE dependencies in line with industry standards to ensure evolution under the Eclipse Foundation.

All Connectors:

  • There has been some small tidy up of dependencies, restructuring and removal of unused code, and a number of connectors have a slimmer file size without losing any functionality.

  • The configuration directory has been removed as these examples are not kept up-to-date. Please see the connector documentation instead.

  • Dependency upgrades.

6.1.0

All Connectors:

  • In this release, all connectors have been updated to address an issue related to conflicting Antlr jars that may arise in specific environments.

AWS S3 Source:

  • Byte Array Support: Resolved an issue where storing the Key/Value as an array of bytes caused compatibility problems due to the connector returning java.nio.ByteBuffer while the Connect framework’s ByteArrayConverter only works with byte[]. This update ensures seamless conversion to byte[] if the key/value is a ByteBuffer.

JMS Sink:

  • Fix for NullPointerException: Addressed an issue where the JMS sink connector encountered a NullPointerException when processing a message with a null JMSReplyTo header value.

JMS Source:

  • Fix for DataException: Resolved an issue where the JMS source connector encountered a DataException when processing a message with a JMSReplyTo header set to a queue.

AWS S3 Sink/GCP Storage Sink (beta)/Azure Datalake Sink (beta):

  • GZIP Support for JSON Writing: Added support for GZIP compression when writing JSON data to AWS S3, GCP Storage, and Azure Datalake sinks.

  • Code Optimization: Removed unused code and converted Java code and tests to Scala for enhanced stability and maintainability.

  • Ascii Art Loading Fix: Resolved issues related to ASCII art loading.

  • Build System Updates: Implemented build system updates and improvements.

  • Stream Reactor Integration: Integrated Kafka-connect-query-language inside of Stream Reactor for enhanced compatibility.

  • STOREAS Consistency: Ensured consistent handling of backticks with STOREAS.

AWS S3 Connector - S3 Source & Sink

The source and sink has been the focus of this release.

  • Full message backup. The S3 sink and source now supports full message backup. This is enabled by adding in the KCQL PROPERTIES('store.envelope'=true)

  • Removed Bytes_*** storage format. For those users leveraging them there is a migration information below. Storing raw Kafka message the storage format should be AVRO/PARQUET/JSON(less ideal).

  • Introduced support for BYTES storing single message as raw binary. Typically, storing images or videos are the use case for this. This is enabled by adding in the KCQL STOREAS BYTES

  • Introduced support for PROPERTIES to drive new settings required to drive the connectors’ behaviour. The KCQL looks like this: INSERT INTO ... SELECT ... FROM ... PROPERTIES(property=key, ...)

Sink

  • Enhanced PARTITIONBY Support: expanded support for PARTITIONBY fields, now accommodating fields containing dots. For instance, you can use PARTITIONBY a, `field1.field2` for enhanced partitioning control.

  • Advanced Padding Strategy: a more advanced padding strategy configuration. By default, padding is now enforced, significantly improving compatibility with S3 Source.

  • Improved Error Messaging: Enhancements have been made to error messaging, providing clearer guidance, especially in scenarios with misaligned topic configurations (#978).

  • Commit Logging Refactoring: Refactored and simplified the CommitPolicy for more efficient commit logging (#964).

  • Comprehensive Testing: Added additional unit testing around configuration settings, removed redundancy from property names, and enhanced KCQL properties parsing to support Map structures.

  • Consolidated Naming Strategies: Merged naming strategies to reduce code complexity and ensure consistency. This effort ensures that both hierarchical and custom partition modes share similar code paths, addressing issues related to padding and the inclusion of keys and values within the partition name.

  • Optimized S3 API Calls: Switched from using deleteObjects to deleteObject for S3 API client calls (#957), enhancing performance and efficiency.

  • JClouds Removal: The update removes the use of JClouds, streamlining the codebase.

  • Legacy Offset Seek Removal: The release eliminates legacy offset seek operations, simplifying the code and enhancing overall efficiency

Source

  • Expanded Text Reader Support: new text readers to enhance data processing flexibility, including:

    • Regex-Driven Text Reader: Allows parsing based on regular expressions.

    • Multi-Line Text Reader: Handles multi-line data.

    • Start-End Tag Text Reader: Processes data enclosed by start and end tags, suitable for XML content.

  • Improved Parallelization: enhancements enable parallelization based on the number of connector tasks and available data partitions, optimizing data handling.

  • Data Consistency: Resolved data loss and duplication issues when the connector is restarted, ensuring reliable data transfer.

  • Dynamic Partition Discovery: No more need to restart the connector when new partitions are added; runtime partition discovery streamlines operations.

  • Efficient Storage Handling: The connector now ignores the .indexes directory, allowing data storage in an S3 bucket without a prefix.

  • Increased Default Records per Poll: the default limit on the number of records returned per poll was changed from 1024 to 10000, improving data retrieval efficiency and throughput.

  • Ordered File Processing: Added the ability to process files in date order. This feature is especially useful when S3 files lack lexicographical sorting, and S3 API optimisation cannot be leveraged. Please note that it involves reading and sorting files in memory.

  • Parquet INT96 Compatibility: The connector now allows Parquet INT96 to be read as a fixed array, preventing runtime failures.

Kudu and Hive

  • The Kudu and Hive connectors are now deprecated and will be removed in a future release.

InfluxDB

  • Fixed a memory issue with the InfluxDB writer.

  • Upgraded to Influxdb2 client (note: doesn’t yet support Influxdb2 connections).

S3 upgrade notes

Upgrading from 5.0.0 (preview) to 5.0.0

For installations that have been using the preview version of the S3 connector and are upgrading to the release, there are a few important considerations:

Previously, default padding was enabled for both “offset” and “partition” values starting in June.

However, in version 5.0, the decision to apply default padding to the “offset” value only, leaving the " partition" value without padding. This change was made to enhance compatibility with querying in Athena.

If you have been using a build from the master branch since June, your connectors might have been configured with a different default padding setting.

To maintain consistency and ensure your existing connector configuration remains valid, you will need to use KCQL configuration properties to customize the padding fields accordingly.

INSERT INTO $bucket[:$prefix]
SELECT *
FROM $topic
...
PROPERTIES(
  'padding.length.offset'=12,
  'padding.length.partition'=12
)

Upgrading from 4.x to 5.0.0

Starting with version 5.0.0, the following configuration keys have been replaced.

Field
Old Property
New Property

AWS Secret Key

aws.secret.key

connect.s3.aws.secret.key

Access Key

aws.access.key

connect.s3.aws.access.key

Auth Mode

aws.auth.mode

connect.s3.aws.auth.mode

Custom Endpoint

aws.custom.endpoint

connect.s3.custom.endpoint

VHost Bucket

aws.vhost.bucket

connect.s3.vhost.bucket

Upgrading from 4.1.* and 4.2.0

In version 4.1, padding options were available but were not enabled by default. At that time, the default padding length, if not specified, was set to 8 characters.

However, starting from version 5.0, padding is now enabled by default, and the default padding length has been increased to 12 characters.

Enabling padding has a notable advantage: it ensures that the files written are fully compatible with the Lenses Stream Reactor S3 Source, enhancing interoperability and data integration.

Sinks created with 4.2.0 and 4.2.1 should retain the padding behaviour, and, therefore should disable padding:

INSERT INTO $bucket[:$prefix]
SELECT *
FROM $topic
...
PROPERTIES (
  'padding.type'=NoOp
)

If padding was enabled in 4.1, then the padding length should be specified in the KCQL statement:

INSERT INTO $bucket[:$prefix]
SELECT *
FROM $topic
...
PROPERTIES (
  'padding.length.offset'=12,
  'padding.length.partition'=12
)

Upgrading from 4.x to 5.0.0 only when STOREAS Bytes_*** is used

The Bytes_*** storage format has been removed. If you are using this storage format, you will need to install the 5.0.0-deprecated connector and upgrade the connector instances by changing the class name:

Source Before:

class.name=io.lenses.streamreactor.connect.aws.s3.source.S3SourceConnector 
...

Source After:

class.name=io.lenses.streamreactor.connect.aws.s3.source.S3SourceConnectorDeprecated
...

Sink Before:

class.name=io.lenses.streamreactor.connect.aws.s3.sink.S3SinkConnector
...

Sink After:

class.name=io.lenses.streamreactor.connect.aws.s3.sink.S3SinkConnectorDeprecated
connect.s3.padding.strategy=NoOp
...

The deprecated connector won’t be developed any further and will be removed in a future release. If you want to talk to us about a migration plan, please get in touch with us at sales@lenses.io.
