Debezium Server

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, Redis (Stream), or NATS JetStream. 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
|-- config
|-- CONTRIBUTE.md
|-- COPYRIGHT.txt
|-- debezium-server-3.0.5.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 config 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 config/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
debezium.predicates is for the configuration of message transformation predicates

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

In this configuration file example:

The sink is setup for AWS Kinesis in region eu-central-1
The source connector is setup for PostgreSQL using the default Debezium decoderbufs plugin. If using PostgreSQL’s built-in pgoutput plugin, set debezium.source.plugin.name=pgoutput
The source connector is set to capture events from a schema named inventory. If you want to capture all changes in the database, remove this line. Otherwise, update this line to correspond to your preferred schema or tables.
The source offset will be stored in a file named offsets.dat in the data directory. Note that you might need to create this directory to prevent an error on startup.

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

Asynchronous Engine Properties

By default, Debezium server uses the asynchronous embedded engine (AsyncEmbeddedEngine) as its processing engine. You can configure the following options for the asynchronous embedded engine:

Property

Default

Description

record.processing.threads

Threads allocated on demand, based on the workload and the number of available CPU cores.

The number of threads that are available to process change event records. If no value is specified (the default), the engine uses the Java ThreadPoolExecutor to dynamically adjust the number of threads, based on the current workload. Maximum number of threads is number of CPU cores on given machine. If a value is specified, the engine uses the Java fixed thread pool method to create a thread pool with the specified number of threads. To use all available cores on given machine, set the placeholder value, AVAILABLE_CORES.

record.processing.shutdown.timeout.ms

1000

Maximum time, in milliseconds, that the engine allows for processing pending records after a task shutdown is called.

task.management.timeout.ms

180,000 (3 min)

Time, in milliseconds, that the engine waits for a task’s lifecycle management operations (starting and stopping) to complete.

Additional configuration

Debezium Server runs on top of the 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 Debezium exposes Microprofile Health endpoint and other exposed status information. Health can be accessed on `http://host:8080/q/health`.
`quarkus.log.level`	INFO	The default log level for every log category.
`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 Debezium exposes Microprofile Health endpoint and other exposed status information. Health can be accessed on http://host:8080/q/health.

quarkus.log.level

INFO

The default log level for every log category.

quarkus.log.console.json

true

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 config/application.properties file, as demonstrated in the config/application.properties.example file.

Enabling message filtering

Debezium Server provides filter SMTs (Single Message Transformations) 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.

debezium.sink.eventhubs.maxbatchsize

Sets the maximum size for the batch of events, in bytes.

Using partitions in EventHubs

By default, when neither of the optional debezium.sink.eventhubs.partitionid or debezium.sink.eventhubs.partitionkey properties are defined, the EventHubs sink will send events round-robin to all available partitions.

You can enforce all messages to be sent to a single, fixed, partition by setting the debezium.sink.eventhubs.partitionid property. Alternatively, you can use the debezium.sink.eventhubs.partitionkey property to specify a fixed partition key that EventHubs will use to route all events to a specific partition.

If you have more specific routing requirements you can use the Partition Routing transformer. Ensure that the number of partitions specified in the transformer’s partition.topic.num setting is equal or less to the number of partitions available in your EventHubs namespace, so that events cannot be routed to non-existing partition IDs. As an example, to route all events to 5 partitions based on their source schema name, you can set the following in your application.properties:

# Uses a hash of `source.db` to calculate which partition to send the event to. Ensures all events from the same source schema are sent to the same partition.
debezium.transforms=PartitionRouter
debezium.transforms.PartitionRouter.type=io.debezium.transforms.partitions.PartitionRouting
debezium.transforms.PartitionRouter.partition.payload.fields=source.db
debezium.transforms.PartitionRouter.partition.topic.num=5

RabbitMQ Stream

RabbitMQ is an open source message broker, supporting multiple messaging protocols and can be deployed in distributed and federated configurations to meet high-scale, high-availability requirements. RabbitMQ supports messages queues and streams. Debezium Server supports publishing captured change events to a configured RabbitMQ Stream.

RabbitMQ Native Stream

Since RabbitMQ 3.9, Streams were introduced to RabbitMQ, utilizing a new blazingly-fast protocol that can be used alongside AMQP 0.9.1. Streams are great for large fan-outs, replay & time travel, and large logs, all with very high throughput (million messages per second).

Debezium Server is enhanced to support publishing captured change events to native RabbitMQ Streams leveraging RabbitMQ Stream Java Client.

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.

Cassandra connector

Running Debezium Server with Cassandra connector

Running with java 11+ requires setting the following java options at startup trough the JDK_JAVA_OPTIONS environment variable or equivalent:

JDK_JAVA_OPTIONS="--add-exports java.base/jdk.internal.misc=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports java.base/jdk.internal.ref=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports java.base/sun.nio.ch=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports java.management.rmi/com.sun.jmx.remote.internal.rmi=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports java.rmi/sun.rmi.registry=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports java.rmi/sun.rmi.server=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports java.sql/java.sql=ALL-UNNAMED  --add-opens java.base/java.lang.module=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens java.base/jdk.internal.loader=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens java.base/jdk.internal.ref=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens java.base/jdk.internal.reflect=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens java.base/jdk.internal.math=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens java.base/jdk.internal.module=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens java.base/jdk.internal.util.jar=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens jdk.management/com.sun.management.internal=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.base/java.io=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens java.base/sun.nio.ch=ALL-UNNAMED"

Sample of basic `application.properties` for running Cassandra connector with Redis sink

# Sink
debezium.sink.type=redis
debezium.sink.redis.address=localhost:6379

# Connector
debezium.source.connector.class=io.debezium.connector.cassandra.Cassandra4Connector
## node.id must be unique per each connector running on each Cassandra node
debezium.source.cassandra.node.id=sample_node_01
debezium.source.cassandra.hosts=127.0.0.1
debezium.source.cassandra.port=9042
debezium.source.cassandra.config=/opt/cassandra/conf/cassandra.yaml
debezium.source.commit.log.relocation.dir=cassandra/relocdir
debezium.source.offset.storage=io.debezium.server.redis.RedisOffsetBackingStore
debezium.source.topic.prefix=sample_prefix
## internal Cassandra http port
debezium.source.http.port=8040

Transformation for Operation Code

By default, Cassandra connector has it’s own Operation Codes which are not entirely compatible with Debezium Operation Codes. If needed, a specific transform can be defined in Debezium Server’s application.properties to enable the conversion:

debezium.transforms=EnvelopeTransformation
debezium.transforms.EnvelopeTransformation.type=io.debezium.connector.cassandra.transforms.EnvelopeTransformation

This will convert Operation Codes as follows:

INSERT "i"          -> CREATE "c"
UPDATE "u"          -> UPDATE "u"
DELETE "d"          -> DELETE "d"
RANGE_TOMBSTONE "r" -> TRUNCATE "t"
