Class Method Details

.partitions_count_cache ⇒ Rdkafka::Producer::PartitionsCountCache

Note:

It is critical to remember, that not all users may have statistics callbacks enabled, hence we should not make assumption that this cache is always updated from the stats.

Global (process wide) partitions cache. We use it to store number of topics partitions, either from the librdkafka statistics (if enabled) or via direct inline calls every now and then. Since the partitions count can only grow and should be same for all consumers and producers, we can use a global cache as long as we ensure that updates only move up.

Enable IO event notifications for background events

Parameters:

  • fd (Integer) —

    file descriptor to signal (from IO.pipe or eventfd)

  • payload (String) (defaults to: "\x01") —

    data to write to fd (default: “x01”)

#enable_queue_io_events(fd, payload = "\x01") ⇒ nil

Enable IO event notifications for fiber scheduler integration When delivery confirmations arrive, librdkafka will write to your FD

Parameters:

  • fd (Integer) —

    file descriptor to signal (from IO.pipe or eventfd)

  • payload (String) (defaults to: "\x01") —

    data to write to fd (default: “x01”)

end

#events_poll_nb_each {|count| ... } ⇒ nil

Note:

This method holds the inner lock until the queue is empty or ‘:stop` is returned. Other producer operations (produce, close, etc.) will wait until this method returns.

Note:

This method is thread-safe as it uses @native_kafka.with_inner synchronization

Polls for events in a non-blocking loop, yielding the count after each iteration.

This method processes delivery callbacks in a single GVL/mutex session, which is more efficient than repeated individual polls. It uses non-blocking polls internally (no GVL release between polls).

Yields the count of events processed after each poll iteration, allowing the caller to implement timeout or other termination logic by returning ‘:stop`.

Examples:

Drain all pending callbacks

producer.events_poll_nb_each { |_count| }

With timeout control

deadline = monotonic_now + timeout_ms
producer.events_poll_nb_each do |_count|
  :stop if monotonic_now >= deadline
end

Yields:

  • (count) —

    Called after each poll iteration

Yield Parameters:

  • count (Integer) —

    Number of events processed in this iteration

Yield Returns:

  • (Symbol, Object) —

    Return ‘:stop` to break the loop, any other value continues

Returns:

  • (nil)

  end
end

#flush(timeout_ms = Defaults::PRODUCER_FLUSH_TIMEOUT_MS) ⇒ Boolean

Note:

We raise an exception for other errors because based on the librdkafka docs, there should be no other errors.

Note:

For ‘timed_out` we do not raise an error to keep it backwards compatible

Wait until all outstanding producer requests are completed, with the given timeout in seconds. Call this before closing a producer to ensure delivery of all messages.

Parameters:

  • timeout_ms (Integer) (defaults to: Defaults::PRODUCER_FLUSH_TIMEOUT_MS) —

    how long should we wait for flush of all messages

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    true if no more data and all was flushed, false in case there are still outgoing messages after the timeout

end

#partition_count(topic) ⇒ Integer

Note:

If ‘allow.auto.create.topics’ is set to true in the broker, the topic will be auto-created after returning nil.

Note:

We cache the partition count for a given topic for given time. If statistics are enabled for any producer or consumer, it will take precedence over per instance fetching.

This prevents us in case someone uses ‘partition_key` from querying for the count with each message. Instead we query at most once every 30 seconds at most if we have a valid partition count or every 5 seconds in case we were not able to obtain number of partitions.

Partition count for a given topic.

Parameters:

  • topic (String) —

    The topic name.

Returns:

  • (Integer) —

    partition count for a given topic or ‘-1` if it could not be obtained.

#produce(topic:, payload: nil, key: nil, partition: nil, partition_key: nil, timestamp: nil, headers: nil, label: nil, topic_config: EMPTY_HASH, partitioner: @partitioner) ⇒ DeliveryHandle

Produces a message to a Kafka topic. The message is added to rdkafka’s queue, call wait on the returned delivery handle to make sure it is delivered.

When no partition is specified the underlying Kafka library picks a partition based on the key. If no key is specified, a random partition will be used. When a timestamp is provided this is used instead of the auto-generated timestamp.

Parameters:

  • topic (String) —

    The topic to produce to

  • payload (String, nil) (defaults to: nil)
  • key (String, nil) (defaults to: nil)
  • partition (Integer, nil) (defaults to: nil) —

    Optional partition to produce to

  • partition_key (String, nil) (defaults to: nil) —

    Optional partition key based on which partition assignment can happen

  • timestamp (Time, Integer, nil) (defaults to: nil) —

    Optional timestamp of this message. Integer timestamp is in milliseconds since Jan 1 1970.

  • headers (Hash{String => String, Array<String>}) (defaults to: nil) —

    Optional message headers. Values can be either a single string or an array of strings to support duplicate headers per KIP-82

  • label (Object, nil) (defaults to: nil) —

    a label that can be assigned when producing a message that will be part of the delivery handle and the delivery report

  • topic_config (Hash) (defaults to: EMPTY_HASH) —

    topic config for given message dispatch. Allows to send messages to topics with different configuration

  • partitioner (String) (defaults to: @partitioner) —

    name of the partitioner to use

Returns:

  • (DeliveryHandle) —

    Delivery handle that can be used to wait for the result of producing this message

Raises:

  • (RdkafkaError) —

    When adding the message to rdkafka’s queue failed

#purge ⇒ Object

Purges the outgoing queue and releases all resources.

Useful when closing the producer with outgoing messages to unstable clusters or when for any other reasons waiting cannot go on anymore. This purges both the queue and all the inflight requests + updates the delivery handles statuses so they can be materialized into ‘purge_queue` errors.

#queue_size ⇒ Integer Also known as: queue_length

Note:

This method is thread-safe as it uses the @native_kafka.with_inner synchronization

Returns the number of messages and requests waiting to be sent to the broker as well as delivery reports queued for the application.

This provides visibility into the producer’s internal queue depth, useful for:

  • Monitoring producer backpressure

  • Implementing custom flow control

  • Debugging message delivery issues

  • Graceful shutdown logic (wait until queue is empty)

Examples:

producer.queue_size #=> 42

Returns:

  • (Integer) —

    the number of messages in the queue

Raises:

#set_topic_config(topic, config, config_hash) ⇒ Object

Note:

It is not allowed to re-set the same topic config twice because of the underlying librdkafka caching

Sets alternative set of configuration details that can be set per topic

Parameters:

  • topic (String) —

    The topic name

  • config (Hash) —

    config we want to use per topic basis

  • config_hash (Integer) —

    hash of the config. We expect it here instead of computing it, because it is already computed during the retrieval attempt in the ‘#produce` flow.
