2.2.12 (2023-11-09)

[Enhancement] Rewrite the polling engine to update statistics and error callbacks despite longer non LRJ processing or long max_wait_time setups. This change provides stability to the statistics and background error emitting making them time-reliable.
[Enhancement] Auto-update Inline Insights if new insights are present for all consumers and not only LRJ (OSS and Pro).
[Enhancement] Alias #insights with #inline_insights and #insights? with #inline_insights?

[Enhancement] Provide new alias to karafka server, that is: karafka consumer.

2.2.10 (2023-11-02)

[Enhancement] Allow for running #pause without specifying the offset (provide offset or :consecutive). This allows for pausing on the consecutive message (last received + 1), so after resume we will get last message received + 1 effectively not using #seek and not purging librdafka buffer preserving on networking. Please be mindful that this uses notion of last message passed from librdkafka, and not the last one available in the consumer (messages.last). While for regular cases they will be the same, when using things like DLQ, LRJs, VPs or Filtering API, those may not be the same.
[Enhancement] Drastically improve network efficiency of operating with LRJ by using the :consecutive offset as default strategy for running LRJs without moving the offset in place and purging the data.
[Enhancement] Do not "seek in place". When pausing and/or seeking to the same location as the current position, do nothing not to purge buffers and not to move to the same place where we are.
[Fix] Pattern regexps should not be part of declaratives even when configured.

Upgrade Notes

In the latest Karafka release, there are no breaking changes. However, please note the updates to #pause and #seek. If you spot any issues, please report them immediately. Your feedback is crucial.

2.2.9 (2023-10-24)

[Enhancement] Allow using negative offset references in Karafka::Admin#read_topic.
[Change] Make sure that WaterDrop 2.6.10 or higher is used with this release to support transactions fully and the Web-UI.

2.2.8 (2023-10-20)

[Feature] Introduce Appsignal integration for errors and metrics tracking.
[Enhancement] Expose #synchronize for VPs to allow for locks when cross-VP consumers work is needed.
[Enhancement] Provide #collapse_until! direct consumer API to allow for collapsed virtual partitions consumer operations together with the Filtering API for advanced use-cases.
[Refactor] Reorganize how rebalance events are propagated from librdkafka to Karafka. Replace connection.client.rebalance_callback with rebalance.partitions_assigned and rebalance.partitions_revoked. Introduce two extra events: rebalance.partitions_assign and rebalance.partitions_revoke to handle pre-rebalance future work.
[Refactor] Remove thor as a CLI layer and rely on Ruby OptParser

Upgrade Notes

Unless you were using connection.client.rebalance_callback which was considered private, nothing.
None of the CLI commands should change but thor has been removed so please report if you find any bugs.

2.2.7 (2023-10-07)

[Feature] Introduce Inline Insights to both OSS and Pro. Inline Insights allow you to get the Kafka insights/metrics from the consumer instance and use them to alter the processing flow. In Pro, there's an extra filter flow allowing to ensure, that the insights exist during consumption.
[Enhancement] Make sure, that subscription groups ids are unique by including their consumer group id in them similar to how topics ids are handled (not a breaking change).
[Enhancement] Expose #attempt method on a consumer to directly indicate number of attempt of processing given data.
[Enhancement] Support Rails 7.1.

2.2.6 (2023-09-26)

[Enhancement] Retry Karafka::Admin#read_watermark_offsets fetching upon not_leader_for_partition that can occur mostly on newly created topics in KRaft and after crashes during leader selection.

2.2.5 (2023-09-25)

[Enhancement] Ensure, that when topic related operations end, the result is usable. There were few cases where admin operations on topics would finish successfully but internal Kafka caches would not report changes for a short period of time.
[Enhancement] Stabilize cooperative-sticky early shutdown procedure.
[Fix] use #nil? instead of #present? on DataDog::Tracing::SpanOperation (vitellochris)
[Maintenance] Align connection clearing API with Rails 7.1 deprecation warning.
[Maintenance] Make #subscription_group reference consistent in the Routing and Instrumentation.
[Maintenance] Align the consumer pause instrumentation with client pause instrumentation by adding subscription_group visibility to the consumer.

2.2.4 (2023-09-13)

[Enhancement] Compensate for potential Kafka cluster drifts vs consumer drift in batch metadata (#1611).

2.2.3 (2023-09-12)

[Fix] Karafka admin time based offset lookup can break for one non-default partition.

2.2.2 (2023-09-11)

[Feature] Provide ability to define routing defaults.
[Maintenance] Require karafka-core >= 2.2.2

2.2.1 (2023-09-01)

[Fix] Fix insufficient validation of named patterns
[Maintenance] Rely on 2.2.x karafka-core.

2.2.0 (2023-09-01)

[Feature] Introduce dynamic topic subscriptions based on patterns [Pro].
[Enhancement] Allow for Karafka::Admin setup reconfiguration via config.admin scope.
[Enhancement] Make sure that consumer group used by Karafka::Admin obeys the ConsumerMapper setup.
[Fix] Fix a case where subscription group would not accept a symbol name.

Upgrade Notes

As always, please make sure you have upgraded to the most recent version of 2.1 before upgrading to 2.2.

If you are not using Kafka ACLs, there is no action you need to take.

If you are using Kafka ACLs and you've set up permissions for karafka_admin group, please note that this name has now been changed and is subject to Consumer Name Mapping.

That means you must ensure that the new consumer group that by default equals CLIENT_ID_karafka_admin has appropriate permissions. Please note that the Web UI also uses this group.

Karafka::Admin now has its own set of configuration options available, and you can find more details about that here.

If you want to maintain the 2.1 behavior, that is karafka_admin admin group, we recommend introducing this case inside your consumer mapper. Assuming you use the default one, the code will look as follows:

  class MyMapper
    def call(raw_consumer_group_name)
      # If group is the admin one, use as it was in 2.1
      return 'karafka_admin' if raw_consumer_group_name == 'karafka_admin'

      # Otherwise use default karafka strategy for the rest
      "#{Karafka::App.config.client_id}_#{raw_consumer_group_name}"
    end
  end

[Enhancement] Introduce new runner.before_call monitor event.
[Refactor] Introduce low level commands proxy to handle deviation in how we want to run certain commands and how rdkafka-ruby runs that by design.

[Feature] Provide ability to apply filters after messages are polled and before enqueued. This is a generic filter API for any usage.
[Enhancement] When using ActiveJob with Virtual Partitions, Karafka will stop if collectively VPs are failing. This minimizes number of jobs that will be collectively re-processed.
[Enhancement] #retrying? method has been added to consumers to provide ability to check, that we're reprocessing data after a failure. This is useful for branching out processing based on errors.
[Enhancement] Track active_job_id in instrumentation (#1372)
[Enhancement] Introduce new housekeeping job type called Idle for non-consumption execution flows.
[Enhancement] Change how a manual offset management works with Long-Running Jobs. Use the last message offset to move forward instead of relying on the last message marked as consumed for a scenario where no message is marked.
[Enhancement] Prioritize in Pro non-consumption jobs execution over consumption despite LJF. This will ensure, that housekeeping as well as other non-consumption events are not saturated when running a lot of work.
[Enhancement] Normalize the DLQ behaviour with MoM. Always pause on dispatch for all the strategies.
[Enhancement] Improve the manual offset management and DLQ behaviour when no markings occur for OSS.
[Enhancement] Do not early stop ActiveJob work running under virtual partitions to prevent extensive reprocessing.
[Enhancement] Drastically increase number of scenarios covered by integration specs (OSS and Pro).
[Enhancement] Introduce a Coordinator#synchronize lock for cross virtual partitions operations.
[Fix] Do not resume partition that is not paused.
[Fix] Fix LoggerListener cases where logs would not include caller id (when available)
[Fix] Fix not working benchmark tests.
[Fix] Fix a case where when using manual offset management with a user pause would ignore the pause and seek to the next message.
[Fix] Fix a case where dead letter queue would go into an infinite loop on message with first ever offset if the first ever offset would not recover.
[Fix] Make sure to resume always for all LRJ strategies on revocation.
[Refactor] Make sure that coordinator is topic aware. Needed for throttling, delayed processing and expired jobs.
[Refactor] Put Pro strategies into namespaces to better organize multiple combinations.
[Refactor] Do not rely on messages metadata for internal topic and partition operations like #seek so they can run independently from the consumption flow.
[Refactor] Hold a single topic/partition reference on a coordinator instead of in executor, coordinator and consumer.
[Refactor] Move #mark_as_consumed and #mark_as_consumed!into Strategies::Default to be able to introduce marking for virtual partitions.

2.0.38 (2023-03-27)

[Enhancement] Introduce Karafka::Admin#read_watermark_offsets to get low and high watermark offsets values.
[Enhancement] Track active_job_id in instrumentation (#1372)
[Enhancement] Improve #read_topic reading in case of a compacted partition where the offset is below the low watermark offset. This should optimize reading and should not go beyond the low watermark offset.
[Enhancement] Allow #read_topic to accept instance settings to overwrite any settings needed to customize reading behaviours.

2.0.37 (2023-03-20)

[Fix] Declarative topics execution on a secondary cluster run topics creation on the primary one (#1365)
[Fix] Admin read operations commit offset when not needed (#1369)

2.0.36 (2023-03-17)

[Refactor] Rename internal naming of Structurable to Declaratives for declarative topics feature.
[Fix] AJ + DLQ + MOM + LRJ is pausing indefinitely after the first job (#1362)

[Enhancement] Introduce a strict_topics_namespacing config option to enable/disable the strict topics naming validations. This can be useful when working with pre-existing topics which we cannot or do not want to rename.
[Fix] Karafka monitor is prematurely cached (#1314)

Upgrade Notes

Since #tags were introduced on consumers, the #tags method is now part of the consumers API.

This means, that in case you were using a method called #tags in your consumers, you will have to rename it:

class EventsConsumer < ApplicationConsumer
  def consume
    messages.each do |message|
      tags << message.payload.tag
    end

    tags.each { |tags| puts tag }
  end

  private

  # This will collide with the tagging API
  # This NEEDS to be renamed not to collide with `#tags` method provided by the consumers API.
  def tags
    @tags ||= Set.new
  end
end

2.0.29 (2023-01-30)

[Enhancement] Make sure, that the Karafka#producer instance has the LoggerListener enabled in the install template, so Karafka by default prints both consumer and producer info.
[Enhancement] Extract the code loading capabilities of Karafka console from the executable, so web can use it to provide CLI commands.
[Fix] Fix for: running karafka console results in NameError with Rails (#1280)
[Fix] Make sure, that the caller for async errors is being published.
[Change] Make sure that WaterDrop 2.4.10 or higher is used with this release to support Web-UI.

2.0.28 (2023-01-25)

[Feature] Provide the ability to use Dead Letter Queue with Virtual Partitions.
[Enhancement] Collapse Virtual Partitions upon retryable error to a single partition. This allows dead letter queue to operate and mitigate issues arising from work virtualization. This removes uncertainties upon errors that can be retried and processed. Affects given topic partition virtualization only for multi-topic and multi-partition parallelization. It also minimizes potential "flickering" where given data set has potentially many corrupted messages. The collapse will last until all the messages from the collective corrupted batch are processed. After that, virtualization will resume.
[Enhancement] Introduce #collapsed? consumer method available for consumers using Virtual Partitions.
[Enhancement] Allow for customization of DLQ dispatched message details in Pro (#1266) via the #enhance_dlq_message consumer method.
[Enhancement] Include original_consumer_group in the DLQ dispatched messages in Pro.
[Enhancement] Use Karafka client_id as kafka client.id value by default

Upgrade Notes

If you want to continue to use karafka as default for kafka client.id, assign it manually:

class KarafkaApp < Karafka::App
  setup do |config|
    # Other settings...
    config.kafka = {
      'client.id': 'karafka'
    }

2.0.27 (2023-01-11)

Do not lock Ruby version in Karafka in favour of karafka-core.
Make sure karafka-core version is at least 2.0.9 to make sure we run karafka-rdkafka.

2.0.26 (2023-01-10)

[Feature] Allow for disabling given topics by setting active to false. It will exclude them from consumption but will allow to have their definitions for using admin APIs, etc.
[Enhancement] Early terminate on read_topic when reaching the last offset available on the request time.
[Enhancement] Introduce a quiet state that indicates that Karafka is not only moving to quiet mode but actually that it reached it and no work will happen anymore in any of the consumer groups.
[Enhancement] Use Karafka defined routes topics when possible for read_topic admin API.
[Enhancement] Introduce client.pause and client.resume instrumentation hooks for tracking client topic partition pausing and resuming. This is alongside of consumer.consuming.pause that can be used to track both manual and automatic pausing with more granular consumer related details. The client.* should be used for low level tracking.
[Enhancement] Replace LoggerListener pause notification with one based on client.pause instead of consumer.consuming.pause.
[Enhancement] Expand LoggerListener with client.resume notification.
[Enhancement] Replace random anonymous subscription groups ids with stable once.
[Enhancement] Add consumer.consume, consumer.revoke and consumer.shutting_down notification events and move the revocation logic calling to strategies.
[Change] Rename job queue statistics processing key to busy. No changes needed because naming in the DataDog listener stays the same.
[Fix] Fix proctitle listener state changes reporting on new states.
[Fix] Make sure all files descriptors are closed in the integration specs.
[Fix] Fix a case where empty subscription groups could leak into the execution flow.
[Fix] Fix LoggerListener reporting so it does not end with ..
[Fix] Run previously defined (if any) signal traps created prior to Karafka signals traps.

2.0.25 (2023-01-10)

Release yanked due to accidental release with local changes.

2.0.24 (2022-12-19)

[Feature] Provide out of the box encryption support for Pro.
[Enhancement] Add instrumentation upon #pause.
[Enhancement] Add instrumentation upon retries.
[Enhancement] Assign #id to consumers similar to other entities for ease of debugging.
[Enhancement] Add retries and pausing to the default LoggerListener.
[Enhancement] Introduce a new final terminated state that will kick in prior to exit but after all the instrumentation and other things are done.
[Enhancement] Ensure that state transitions are thread-safe and ensure state transitions can occur in one direction.
[Enhancement] Optimize status methods proxying to Karafka::App.
[Enhancement] Allow for easier state usage by introducing explicit #to_s for reporting.
[Enhancement] Change auto-generated id from SecureRandom#uuid to SecureRandom#hex(6)
[Enhancement] Emit statistic every 5 seconds by default.
[Enhancement] Introduce general messages parser that can be swapped when needed.
[Fix] Do not trigger code reloading when consumer_persistence is enabled.
[Fix] Shutdown producer after all the consumer components are down and the status is stopped. This will ensure, that any instrumentation related Kafka messaging can still operate.

Upgrade Notes

If you want to disable librdkafka statistics because you do not use them at all, update the kafka statistics.interval.ms setting and set it to 0:

class KarafkaApp < Karafka::App
  setup do |config|
    # Other settings...
    config.kafka = {
      'statistics.interval.ms': 0
    }
  end
end

2.0.23 (2022-12-07)

[Maintenance] Align with waterdrop and karafka-core
[Enhancement] Provide Admin#read_topic API to get topic data without subscribing.
[Enhancement] Upon an end user #pause, do not commit the offset in automatic offset management mode. This will prevent from a scenario where pause is needed but during it a rebalance occurs and a different assigned process starts not from the pause location but from the automatic offset that may be different. This still allows for using the #mark_as_consumed.
[Fix] Fix a scenario where manual #pause would be overwritten by a resume initiated by the strategy.
[Fix] Fix a scenario where manual #pause in LRJ would cause infinite pause.

2.0.22 (2022-12-02)

[Enhancement] Load Pro components upon Karafka require so they can be altered prior to setup.
[Enhancement] Do not run LRJ jobs that were added to the jobs queue but were revoked meanwhile.
[Enhancement] Allow running particular named subscription groups similar to consumer groups.
[Enhancement] Allow running particular topics similar to consumer groups.
[Enhancement] Raise configuration error when trying to run Karafka with options leading to no subscriptions.
[Fix] Fix karafka info subscription groups count reporting as it was misleading.
[Fix] Allow for defining subscription groups with symbols similar to consumer groups and topics to align the API.
[Fix] Do not allow for an explicit nil as a subscription_group block argument.
[Fix] Fix instability in subscription groups static members ids when using --consumer_groups CLI flag.
[Fix] Fix a case in routing, where anonymous subscription group could not be used inside of a consumer group.
[Fix] Fix a case where shutdown prior to listeners build would crash the server initialization.
[Fix] Duplicated logs in development environment for Rails when logger set to $stdout.

20.0.21 (2022-11-25)

[Enhancement] Make revocation jobs for LRJ topics non-blocking to prevent blocking polling when someone uses non-revocation aware LRJ jobs and revocation happens.

2.0.20 (2022-11-24)

[Enhancement] Support group.instance.id assignment (static group membership) for a case where a single consumer group has multiple subscription groups (#1173).

[Enhancement] Improve stability of the shutdown process upon critical errors.
[Enhancement] Improve stability of the integrations spec suite.
[Fix] Fix an issue where upon fast startup of multiple subscription groups from the same consumer group, a ghost queue would be created due to problems in Concurrent::Hash.

2.0.18 (2022-11-18)

[Feature] Support quiet mode via TSTP signal. When used, Karafka will finish processing current messages, run shutdown jobs, and switch to a quiet mode where no new work is being accepted. At the same time, it will keep the consumer group quiet, and thus no rebalance will be triggered. This can be particularly useful during deployments.
[Enhancement] Trigger #revoked for jobs in case revocation would happen during shutdown when jobs are still running. This should ensure, we get a notion of revocation for Pro LRJ jobs even when revocation happening upon shutdown (#1150).
[Enhancement] Stabilize the shutdown procedure for consumer groups with many subscription groups that have non-aligned processing cost per batch.
[Enhancement] Remove double loading of Karafka via Rails railtie.
[Fix] Fix invalid class references in YARD docs.
[Fix] prevent parallel closing of many clients.
[Fix] fix a case where information about revocation for a combination of LRJ + VP would not be dispatched until all VP work is done.

2.0.17 (2022-11-10)

[Fix] Few typos around DLQ and Pro DLQ Dispatch original metadata naming.
[Fix] Narrow the components lookup to the appropriate scope (#1114)

Upgrade Notes

Replace original-* references from DLQ dispatched metadata with original_*

# DLQ topic consumption
def consume
  messages.each do |broken_message|
    topic = broken_message.metadata['original_topic'] # was original-topic
    partition = broken_message.metadata['original_partition'] # was original-partition
    offset = broken_message.metadata['original_offset'] # was original-offset

    Rails.logger.error "This message is broken: #{topic}/#{partition}/#{offset}"
  end
end

2.0.16 (2022-11-09)

[Enhancement] Include seek_offset in the consumer.consume.error event payload (#1113)
[Refactor] Remove unused logger listener event handler.
[Refactor] Internal refactoring of routing validations flow.
[Refactor] Reorganize how routing related features are represented internally to simplify features management.
[Refactor] Extract supported features combinations processing flow into separate strategies.
[Refactor] Auto-create topics in the integration specs based on the defined routing
[Refactor] Auto-inject Pro components via composition instead of requiring to use Karafka::Pro::BaseConsumer (#1116)
[Fix] Fix a case where routing tags would not be injected when given routing definition would not be used with a block
[Fix] Fix a case where using #active_job_topic without extra block options would cause manual_offset_management to stay false.
[Fix] Fix a case when upon Pro ActiveJob usage with Virtual Partitions, correct offset would not be stored
[Fix] Fix a case where upon Virtual Partitions usage, same underlying real partition would be resumed several times.
[Fix] Fix LRJ enqueuing pause increases the coordinator counter (#115)
[Fix] Release ActiveRecord connection to the pool after the work in non-dev envs (#1130)
[Fix] Fix a case where post-initialization shutdown would not initiate shutdown procedures.
[Fix] Prevent Karafka from committing offsets twice upon shutdown.
[Fix] Fix for a case where fast consecutive stop signaling could hang the stopping listeners.
[Specs] Split specs into regular and pro to simplify how resources are loaded
[Specs] Add specs to ensure, that all the Pro components have a proper per-file license (#1099)

Upgrade Notes

Remove the manual_offset_management setting from the main config if you use it:

class KarafkaApp < Karafka::App
  setup do |config|
    # ...

    # This line needs to be removed:
    config.manual_offset_management = true
  end
end

Set the manual_offset_management feature flag per each topic where you want to use it in the routing. Don't set it for topics where you want the default offset management strategy to be used.

class KarafkaApp < Karafka::App
  routes.draw do
    consumer_group :group_name do
      topic :example do
        consumer ExampleConsumer
        manual_offset_management true
      end

      topic :example2 do
        consumer ExampleConsumer2
        manual_offset_management true
      end
    end
  end
end

If you were using code to restart dead connections similar to this:

class ActiveRecordConnectionsCleaner
  def on_error_occurred(event)
    return unless event[:error].is_a?(ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid)

    ::ActiveRecord::Base.clear_active_connections!
  end
end

Karafka.monitor.subscribe(ActiveRecordConnectionsCleaner.new)

It should be removed. This code is no longer needed.

2.0.0 (2022-08-05)

This changelog describes changes between 1.4 and 2.0. Please refer to appropriate release notes for changes between particular rc releases.

Karafka 2.0 is a major rewrite that brings many new things to the table but also removes specific concepts that happened not to be as good as I initially thought when I created them.

Please consider getting a Pro version if you want to support my work on the Karafka ecosystem!

For anyone worried that I will start converting regular features into Pro: This will not happen. Anything free and fully OSS in Karafka 1.4 will forever remain free. Most additions and improvements to the ecosystem are to its free parts. Any feature that is introduced as a free and open one will not become paid.

Additions

This section describes new things and concepts introduced with Karafka 2.0.

Karafka 2.0:

Introduces multi-threaded support for concurrent work consumption for separate partitions as well as for single partition work via Virtual Partitions.
Introduces Active Job adapter for using Karafka as a jobs backend with Ruby on Rails Active Job.
Introduces fully automatic integration end-to-end test suite that checks any case I could imagine.
Introduces Virtual Partitions for ability to parallelize work of a single partition.
Introduces Long-Running Jobs to allow for work that would otherwise exceed the max.poll.interval.ms.
Introduces the Enhanced Scheduler that uses a non-preemptive LJF (Longest Job First) algorithm instead of a a FIFO (First-In, First-Out) one.
Introduces Enhanced Active Job adapter that is optimized and allows for strong ordering of jobs and more.
Introduces seamless Ruby on Rails integration via Rails::Railte without need for any extra configuration.
Provides #revoked method for taking actions upon topic revocation.
Emits underlying async errors emitted from librdkafka via the standardized error.occurred monitor channel.
Replaces ruby-kafka with librdkafka as an underlying driver.
Introduces official EOL policies.
Introduces benchmarks that can be used to profile Karafka.
Introduces a requirement that the end user code needs to be thread-safe.
Introduces a Pro subscription with a commercial license to fund further ecosystem development.

Deletions

This section describes things that are no longer part of the Karafka ecosystem.

Karafka 2.0:

Removes topics mappers concept completely.
Removes pidfiles support.
Removes daemonization support.
Removes support for using sidekiq-backend due to introduction of multi-threading.
Removes the Responders concept in favour of WaterDrop producer usage.
Removes completely all the callbacks in favour of finalizer method #shutdown.
Removes single message consumption mode in favour of documentation on how to do it easily by yourself.

Changes

This section describes things that were changed in Karafka but are still present.

Karafka 2.0:

Uses only instrumentation that comes from Karafka. This applies also to notifications coming natively from librdkafka. They are now piped through Karafka prior to being dispatched.
Integrates WaterDrop 2.x tightly with autoconfiguration inheritance and an option to redefine it.
Integrates with the karafka-testing gem for RSpec that also has been updated.
Updates cli info to reflect the 2.0 details.
Stops validating kafka configuration beyond minimum as the rest is handled by librdkafka.
No longer uses dry-validation.
No longer uses dry-monitor.
No longer uses dry-configurable.
Lowers general external dependencies three heavily.
Renames Karafka::Params::BatchMetadata to Karafka::Messages::BatchMetadata.
Renames Karafka::Params::Params to Karafka::Messages::Message.
Renames #params_batch in consumers to #messages.

Renames StdoutListener to LoggerListener.
Reorganizes monitoring and logging to match new concepts.
Notifies on fatal worker processing errors.
Contains updated install templates for Rails and no-non Rails.
Changes how the routing style (0.5) behaves. It now builds a single consumer group instead of one per topic.
Introduces changes that will allow me to build full web-UI in the upcoming 2.1.
Contains updated example apps.
Standardizes error hooks for all error reporting (error.occurred).
Changes license to LGPL-3.0.
Introduces a karafka-core dependency that contains common code used across the ecosystem.
Contains updated wiki on everything I could think of.
