Confluent Platform image bootup process

Upon startup of Docker, the entry point /etc/confluent/docker/run runs three executable scripts found in the /etc/confluent/docker. They are run in the following sequence:

1. Configure script

   The /etc/confluent/docker/configure script does all the necessary configuration for each image. This includes the following:

   • Create all configuration files and copying them to their proper location.
   • Ensure that mandatory configuration properties are present.
   • If required, handle service discovery.

2. Ensure script

   The /etc/confluent/docker/ensure scripts makes sure that all the prerequisites for launching the service are in place. This includes:

   • Ensure the configuration files are present and readable.
   • Ensure that you can write/read to the data directory. The directories must be world writable.
   • Ensure that supporting services are in the READY state. For example, ensure that ZooKeeper is ready before launching a Kafka broker.
   • Ensure supporting systems are configured properly. For example, make sure all topics required for Confluent Control Center are created with proper replication, security and partition settings.

3. Launch

   The /etc/confluent/docker/launch script runs the actual process. The script should ensure that:

   • The process is run with process id 1. Your script should use exec so the program takes over the shell process rather than running as a child process. This is so that your program will receive signals like SIGTERM directly rather than its parent shell process receiving them.
   • Log to stdout.

Prerequisites

1. Install Docker. The examples in this guide are for running on macOS. For instructions on installing Docker on Linux or Windows, refer to the official Docker Machine documentation.

   brew install docker docker-machine
   

2. Create a Docker Machine:

   docker-machine create --driver virtualbox --virtualbox-memory 6000 confluent
   

   This command will create a local environment but it is recommended that you create one on AWS. The builds are much faster and more predictable (virtualbox stops when you close the lid of the laptop and sometimes gets into a weird state). When choosing an instance type, m4.large is good choice. It has 2 vCPUs with 8GB RAM and costs around ~$88 monthly.

   export INSTANCE_NAME=$USER-docker-machine
   docker-machine create \
      --driver amazonec2 \
      --amazonec2-region us-west-2 \
      --amazonec2-instance-type m4.large \
      --amazonec2-root-size 100 \
      --amazonec2-ami ami-16b1a077 \
      --amazonec2-tags Name,$INSTANCE_NAME \
      $USER-aws-confluent
   

3. Configure your terminal window to attach it to your new Docker Machine:

   eval $(docker-machine env confluent)
   

4. Install Maven:

   brew install maven
   

Build the Confluent Platform images

Refer to Docker Image Reference for a list of GitHub repos for the Confluent Platform components.

For each Confluent Platform image you want to build:

1. Clone the repo.

2. Checkout the release branch.

3. Get the values for the required and optional arguments for the build command.

   For the list of supported arguments, see this README file.

   The following are required arguments:

   • CONFLUENT_PACKAGES_REPO: Specify the location of the Confluent Platform packages repository. Depending on the type of OS for the image you are building, you might need to provide a Debian or RPM repository.
   • CONFLUENT_VERSION: Specify the full Confluent Platform release version, e.g., 5.5.15.
   • docker.upstream-registry: Registry to pull base images from. Trailing / is required. Used as DOCKER_UPSTREAM_REGISTRY during docker build.
   • docker.upstream-tag: Use the given tag when pulling base images. Used as DOCKER_UPSTREAM_TAG during docker build.

4. Optionally, you can choose an operating system you want your docker image based on, specifically Debian or RHEL UBI. To build a RHEL UBI image pass the following argument to the Maven command:

   -Ddocker.os_type=ubi8
   

5. From the root folder of the repo, build the Confluent Platform images using Maven.

   For example:

   mvn clean package \
   -DskipTests -Pdocker \
   -DCONFLUENT_PACKAGES_REPO='https://packages.confluent.io/rpm/5.5' \
   -DCONFLUENT_VERSION=5.5.15 \
   -Ddocker.upstream-registry=docker.io/ \
   -Ddocker.upstream-tag=5.5.15
   

Extend Confluent Platform images

You can extend the images to add or customize connectors, add new software, change the configuration management, and set up external service discovery. The following sections provide examples.

Add Connectors or Software

Confluent provides two images for Kafka Connect:

• The Kafka Connect Base image contains Kafka Connect and all of its dependencies. When started, it will run the Connect framework in distributed mode.
• The Kafka Connect image extends the Kafka Connect Base image and includes several of the connectors supported by Confluent: JDBC, Elasticsearch, HDFS, S3, and JMS.

There are currently two ways to add new connectors to these images.

• Use the cp-kafka-connect or cp-kafka-connect-base image as-is and add the connector JARs via volumes.
• Build a new Docker image that has the new connectors installed. See the following examples.

Create a Docker Image containing Confluent Hub Connectors

This example shows how to use the Confluent Hub client to create a Docker image that extends from one of Confluent’s Kafka Connect images but which contains a custom set of connectors. This may be useful if you’d like to use a connector that isn’t contained in the cp-kafka-connect image, or if you’d like to keep the custom image lightweight and not include any connectors that you don’t plan to use.

1. Add connectors from Confluent Hub.

2. Choose an image to extend.

   Functionally, the cp-kafka-connect and the cp-kafka-connect-base images are identical. The only difference is that the cp-kafka-connect image already contains several of Confluent’s connectors, whereas the cp-kafka-connect-base image comes with none by default. The cp-kafka-connect-base image is shown in this example.

3. Choose the connectors from Confluent Hub that you’d like to include in your custom image. Note that the remaining steps result in a custom image containing a MongoDB connector, a Microsoft Azure IoT Hub connector, and a Google BigQuery connector.

4. Write a Dockerfile.

   FROM confluentinc/cp-kafka-connect-base:5.5.15
   
   RUN   confluent-hub install --no-prompt hpgrahsl/kafka-connect-mongodb:1.1.0 \
      && confluent-hub install --no-prompt microsoft/kafka-connect-iothub:0.6 \
      && confluent-hub install --no-prompt wepay/kafka-connect-bigquery:1.1.0
   

5. Build the Dockerfile.

   docker build . -t my-custom-image:1.0.0
   

   The output from that command should resemble:

   Step 1/2 : FROM confluentinc/cp-kafka-connect-base
   ---> e0d92da57dc3
   ...
   Running in a "--no-prompt" mode
   Implicit acceptance of the license below:
   Apache 2.0
   https://github.com/wepay/kafka-connect-bigquery/blob/master/LICENSE.md
   Implicit confirmation of the question: You are about to install 'kafka-connect-bigquery' from WePay, as published on Confluent Hub.
   Downloading component BigQuery Sink Connector 1.1.0, provided by WePay from Confluent Hub and installing into /usr/share/confluent-hub-components
   Adding installation directory to plugin path in the following files:
     /etc/kafka/connect-distributed.properties
     /etc/kafka/connect-standalone.properties
     /etc/schema-registry/connect-avro-distributed.properties
     /etc/schema-registry/connect-avro-standalone.properties
   
   Completed
   Removing intermediate container 48d4506b8a83
    ---> 496befc3d3f7
   Successfully built 496befc3d3f7
   Successfully tagged my-custom-image:1.0.0
   

   This results in an image named my-custom-image that contains the MongoDB, Azure IoT Hub, and BigQuery connectors, and which is capable of running any or all of the connectors using the Kafka Connect framework.

If you are using a docker-compose.yml file and the Confluent Hub client to build your Kafka environment, use the following properties to enable a connector.

connect:
  image: confluentinc/kafka-connect-datagen:latest
  build:
    context: .
    dockerfile: Dockerfile-confluenthub

Create a Docker Image containing Local Connectors

This example shows how to create a Docker image that extends the cp-kafka-connect-base image to contain one or more local connectors. This is useful if you want to use your connectors instead of pulling connectors from Confluent Hub.

1. Package your local connector in a zip file.

2. Set up the Dockerfile as shown in the example below.

   FROM confluentinc/cp-kafka-connect-base:5.5.15
   
   COPY target/components/packages/my-connector-5.5.15.zip /tmp/my-connector-5.5.15.zip
   
   RUN confluent-hub install --no-prompt /tmp/my-connector-5.5.15.zip
   

3. Build the Dockerfile.

   docker build . -t my-custom-image:1.0.0
   

Add Additional Software

This example shows how to add new software to an image. For example, you might want to extend the Kafka Connect client to include the MySQL JDBC driver. If this approach is used to add new connectors to an image, the connector JARs must be on the plugin.path or the CLASSPATH for the Connect framework.

1. Write the Dockerfile.

   FROM confluentinc/cp-kafka-connect
   
   ENV MYSQL_DRIVER_VERSION 5.1.39
   
   RUN curl -k -SL "https://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/Connector-J/mysql-connector-java-${MYSQL_DRIVER_VERSION}.tar.gz" \
        | tar -xzf - -C /usr/share/java/kafka/ --strip-components=1 mysql-connector-java-5.1.39/mysql-connector-java-${MYSQL_DRIVER_VERSION}-bin.jar
   

2. Build the image.

   docker build -t foo/mysql-connect:latest .
   

Note

This approach can also be used to create images with your own Kafka Connect Plugins.

Change configuration management

This example describes how to change the configuration management. To accomplish this, you override the configure script to download the scripts from a URL.

For example, with the ZooKeeper image, you need the following Dockerfile and configure script. This example assumes that each property file is has a URL.

Dockerfile:

FROM confluentinc/cp-zookeeper

COPY include/etc/confluent/docker/configure /etc/confluent/docker/configure

Example Configure Script:

Location: include/etc/confluent/docker/configure

. /etc/confluent/docker/bash-config

# Ensure that URL locations are available.
dub ensure ZOOKEEPER_SERVER_CONFIG_URL
dub ensure ZOOKEEPER_SERVER_ID_URL
dub ensure ZOOKEEPER_LOG_CONFIG_URL

# Ensure that the config location is writable.
dub path /etc/kafka/ writable

curl -XGET ZOOKEEPER_SERVER_CONFIG_URL > /etc/kafka/zookeeper.properties
curl -XGET ZOOKEEPER_SERVER_ID_URL > /var/lib/zookeeper/data/myid
curl -XGET ZOOKEEPER_LOG_CONFIG_URL > /etc/kafka/log4j.properties

Build the image:

    docker build -t foo/zookeeper:latest .

Enter the command.

docker run \
     -e ZOOKEEPER_SERVER_CONFIG_URL=http://foo.com/zk1/server.properties \
     -e ZOOKEEPER_SERVER_ID_URL =http://foo.com/zk1/myid \
     -e ZOOKEEPER_LOG_CONFIG_URL =http://foo.com/zk1/log4j.properties \
     foo/zookeeper:latest

Log to external volumes

The images only expose volumes for data and security configuration. But you might want to write to external storage for some use cases. The following example shows how to write the Kafka authorizer logs to a volume for auditing.

Dockerfile:

FROM confluentinc/cp-kafka

# Make sure the log directory is world-writable
RUN echo "===> Creating authorizer logs dir ..." \\
     && mkdir -p /var/log/kafka-auth-logs \\
     && chmod -R ag+w /var/log/kafka-auth-logs

VOLUME \["/var/lib/$\{COMPONENT}/data", "/etc/$\{COMPONENT}/secrets", "/var/log/kafka-auth-logs"]

COPY include/etc/confluent/log4j.properties.template /etc/confluent/docker/log4j.properties.template

log4j.properties.template:

Location: include/etc/confluent/log4j.properties.template

log4j.rootLogger={{ env["KAFKA_LOG4J_ROOT_LOGLEVEL"] | default('INFO') }}, stdout

log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=[%d] %p %m (%c)%n

log4j.appender.authorizerAppender=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.authorizerAppender.DatePattern='.'yyyy-MM-dd-HH
log4j.appender.authorizerAppender.File=/var/log/kafka-auth-logs/kafka-authorizer.log
log4j.appender.authorizerAppender.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.authorizerAppender.layout.ConversionPattern=[%d] %p %m (%c)%n

log4j.additivity.kafka.authorizer.logger=false

{% set loggers = {
 'kafka': 'INFO',
 'kafka.network.RequestChannel$': 'WARN',
 'kafka.producer.async.DefaultEventHandler': 'DEBUG',
 'kafka.request.logger': 'WARN',
 'kafka.controller': 'TRACE',
 'kafka.log.LogCleaner': 'INFO',
 'state.change.logger': 'TRACE',
 'kafka.authorizer.logger': 'WARN, authorizerAppender'
 } -%}


{% if env['KAFKA_LOG4J_LOGGERS'] %}
{% set loggers = parse_log4j_loggers(env['KAFKA_LOG4J_LOGGERS'], loggers) %}
{% endif %}

{% for logger,loglevel in loggers.iteritems() %}
log4j.logger.\{\{logger}}=\{\{loglevel}}
{% endfor %}

Build the image.

docker build -t foo/kafka-auditable:latest .

Write garbage collection logs to an external volume

The following example shows how to log heap dumps and GC logs to an external volume. This is useful for debugging the Kafka image.

Dockerfile:

FROM confluentinc/cp-kafka

# Make sure the jvm log directory is world-writable
RUN echo "===> Creating jvm logs dir ..." \
     && mkdir -p /var/log/jvm-logs
     && chmod -R ag+w /var/log/jvm-logs

VOLUME ["/var/lib/${COMPONENT}/data", "/etc/${COMPONENT}/secrets", "/var/log/jvm-logs"]

1. Build the image.

   docker build -t foo/kafka-verbose-jvm:latest .
   

2. Enter the command.

   docker run \
       -e KAFKA_HEAP_OPTS="-Xmx256M -Xloggc:/var/log/jvm-logs/verbose-gc.log -verbose:gc -XX:+PrintGCDateStamps -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -XX:HeapDumpPath=/var/log/jvm-logs" \
       foo/kafka-verbose-jvm:latest
   

Use external service discovery

You can extend the images to support for any service discovery mechanism either by overriding relevant properties or by overriding the configure script as shown in Change Configuration Management.

The Docker images provide Mesos support by overriding relevant properties for Mesos service discovery. See debian/kafka-connect/includes/etc/confluent/docker/mesos-overrides for examples.

Use the Oracle JDK

The Confluent Platform images ship with Azul Zulu OpenJDK. If you are required to use Oracle’s version, follow the steps below to modify the cp-base-new image to include Oracle JDK instead of Zulu OpenJDK.

1. Update the Dockerfile for the OS, for example, Dockerfile.deb8, in the base directory of the Confluent Base image repo.

   Replace the following lines for Zulu OpenJDK:

   && echo "Installing Zulu OpenJDK ${ZULU_OPENJDK_VERSION}" \
   && apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 0x219BD9C9 \
   && echo "deb http://repos.azulsystems.com/debian stable  main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/zulu.list \
   && apt-get -qq update \
   && apt-get -y install zulu-${ZULU_OPENJDK_VERSION} \
   && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* \
   

   With the following lines for Oracle JDK:

   && echo "===> Adding webupd8 repository for Oracle JDK..."  \
   && echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu trusty main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/webupd8team-java.list \
   && echo "deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu trusty main" | tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/webupd8team-java.list \
   && apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys EEA14886 \
   && apt-get update \
   \
   && echo "===> Installing Oracle JDK 8 ..."   \
   && echo debconf shared/accepted-oracle-license-v1-1 select true | debconf-set-selections \
   && echo debconf shared/accepted-oracle-license-v1-1 seen true | debconf-set-selections \
   && DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive  apt-get install -y --force-yes \
                 oracle-java8-installer \
                 oracle-java8-set-default  \
                 ca-certificates \
   && rm -rf /var/cache/oracle-jdk8-installer \
   && apt-get clean && rm -rf /tmp/* /var/lib/apt/lists/* \
   

2. Rebuild the cp-base-new image. Refer to Build the Confluent Platform images for the steps.

Utility scripts

Given the dependencies between the various Confluent Platform components (e.g. ZooKeeper required for Kafka, Kafka and ZooKeeper required for Schema Registry, etc.), it is sometimes necessary to be able to check the status of different services. The following utilities are used during the bootup sequence of the images and in the testing framework.

Client properties

The following properties may be configured when using the kafka-ready utility described above.

bootstrap.servers

A list of host/port pairs to use for establishing the initial connection to the Kafka cluster. The client will make use of all servers irrespective of which servers are specified here for bootstrapping - this list only impacts the initial hosts used to discover the full set of servers. This list should be in the form host1:port1,host2:port2,.... Since these servers are just used for the initial connection to discover the full cluster membership (which may change dynamically), this list need not contain the full set of servers (you may want more than one, though, in case a server is down).
