Debezium Server

This feature is currently in incubating state, i.e. exact semantics, configuration options etc. may change in future revisions, based on the feedback we receive.

Please let us know if you encounter any problems while using this feature. Also please reach out if you have requirements for specific sinks to be supported by Debezium Server or even would be interested in contributing the required implementation.

Debezium provides a ready-to-use application that streams change events from a source database to messaging infrastructure like Amazon Kinesis, Google Cloud Pub/Sub, Apache Pulsar or Redis (Stream). For streaming change events to Apache Kafka, it is recommended to deploy the Debezium connectors via Kafka Connect.

Installation

To install the server download and unpack the server distribution archive:

Debezium Server distribution

A directory named debezium-server will be created with these contents:

debezium-server/
|-- CHANGELOG.md
|-- conf
|-- CONTRIBUTE.md
|-- COPYRIGHT.txt
|-- debezium-server-2.0.1.Final-runner.jar
|-- lib
|-- LICENSE-3rd-PARTIES.txt
|-- LICENSE.txt
|-- README.md
`-- run.sh

The server is started using run.sh script, dependencies are stored in the lib directory, and the directory conf contains configuration files.

In case of using the Oracle connector you will have to add to the lib directory the ORACLE JDBC driver (if using XStream also the XStream API files), explained here: Obtaining the Oracle JDBC driver and XStream API files

Configuration

Debezium Server uses MicroProfile Configuration for configuration. This means that the application can be configured from disparate sources like configuration files, environment variables, system properties etc.

The main configuration file is conf/application.properties. There are multiple sections configured:

debezium.source is for source connector configuration; each instance of Debezium Server runs exactly one connector
debezium.sink is for the sink system configuration
debezium.format is for the output serialization format configuration
debezium.transforms is for the configuration of message transformations

An example configuration file can look like so:

debezium.sink.type=kinesis
debezium.sink.kinesis.region=eu-central-1
debezium.source.connector.class=io.debezium.connector.postgresql.PostgresConnector
debezium.source.offset.storage.file.filename=data/offsets.dat
debezium.source.offset.flush.interval.ms=0
debezium.source.database.hostname=localhost
debezium.source.database.port=5432
debezium.source.database.user=postgres
debezium.source.database.password=postgres
debezium.source.database.dbname=postgres
debezium.source.topic.prefix=tutorial
debezium.source.schema.include.list=inventory

When the server is started it generates a seqeunce of log messages like this:

__  ____  __  _____   ___  __ ____  ______

Transformation configuration

Before the messages are delivered to the sink, they can run through a sequence of transformations. The server supports single message transformations defined by Kafka Connect. The configuration will need to contain the list of transformations, implementation class for each transformation and configuration options for each of the transformations.

Additional configuration

Debezium Server runs on top Quarkus framework. All configuration options exposed by Quarkus are available in Debezium Server too. The most frequent used are:

Property Default Description [id="debezium-quarkus-http-port"]

Property	Default	Description [id="debezium-quarkus-http-port"]
`quarkus.http.port`	8080	The port on which Debezim exposes Microprofile Health endpoint and other exposed status information.

`quarkus.log.console.json`	true	Determine whether to enable the JSON console formatting extension, which disables "normal" console formatting.

quarkus.http.port

8080

The port on which Debezim exposes Microprofile Health endpoint and other exposed status information.

quarkus.log.level

INFO

The default log level for every log category.

quarkus.log.console.json

Determine whether to enable the JSON console formatting extension, which disables "normal" console formatting.

JSON logging can be disabled by setting quarkus.log.console.json=false in the conf/application.properties file, as demonstrated in the conf/application.properties.example file.

Enabling message filtering

Debezium server provide filter STM capability, see Message Filtering for more details. However, for security reasons it’s not enabled by default and has to be explicitly enabled when Debezium server is started. To enable it, set environment variable ENABLE_DEBEZIUM_SCRIPTING to true. This will add debezium-scripting jar file and JSR 223 implementations (currently Groovy and graalvm.js) jar files into the server class path. These jar files are contained in opt_lib directory of the Debezium server distribution.

Sink configuration

Sink configuration is specific for each sink type.

The sink is selected by configuration property debezium.sink.type.

The non-transactional mode individually writes each event in a Debezium batch to Pravega. The transactional mode writes the Debezium batch to a Pravega transaction that commits when the batch is completed.

The Pravega sink expects destination scope and streams to already be created.

Property Default Description

Property	Default	Description
`debezium.sink.type`		Must be set to `pravega`.
`debezium.sink.pravega.controller.uri`	`tcp://localhost:9090`	The connection string to a Controller in the Pravega cluster.
`debezium.sink.pravega.scope`		The name of the scope in which to find the destination streams.
`debezium.sink.pravega.transaction`	`false`	Set to `true` to have the sink use Pravega transactions for each Debezium batch.

debezium.sink.type

Must be set to pravega.

debezium.sink.pravega.controller.uri

tcp://localhost:9090

The connection string to a Controller in the Pravega cluster.

debezium.sink.pravega.scope

The name of the scope in which to find the destination streams.

debezium.sink.pravega.transaction

false

Set to true to have the sink use Pravega transactions for each Debezium batch.

Injection points

Pravega sink behavior can be modified by custom logic providing alternative implementations for specific functionalities. When the alternative implementations are not available then the default ones are used.

Interface CDI classifier Description

Interface	CDI classifier	Description
`io.debezium.server.StreamNameMapper`		Custom implementation maps the planned destination (stream) name into a physical Pravega stream name. By default the same name is used.

io.debezium.server.StreamNameMapper

Custom implementation maps the planned destination (stream) name into a physical Pravega stream name. By default the same name is used.

Extensions

Debezium Server uses the Quarkus framework and relies on dependency injection to enable developer to extend its behaviour. Note that only the JVM mode of Quarkus is supported, but not native execution via GraalVM. The server can be extended in two ways by providing a custom logic:

implementation of a new sink
customization of an existing sink - i.e. non-standard configuration

Implementation of a new sink

The new sink can be implemented as a CDI bean implementing interface DebeziumEngine.ChangeConsumer and with annotation @Named and unique name and scope @Dependent. The name of the bean is used as the debezium.sink.type option.

The sink needs to read the configuration using Microprofile Config API. The execution path must pass the messages into the target system and regularly commit the passed/processed messages.

See the Kinesis sink implementation for further details.

Customization of an existing sink

Some of the sinks exposes dependency injections points that enable users to provide its own bean that would modify the behaviour of the sink. Typical examples are fine tuning of the target client setup, the destination naming etc.

See an example of a custom topic naming policy implementation for further details.
