Overview

The Kafka module for managing the installation and configuration of Apache Kafka.

Module Description

The Kafka module for managing the installation and configuration of Apache Kafka: it's brokers, producers and consumers.

Setup

What Kafka affects

Installs the Kafka package and creates a new service.

Setup requirements

This module has the following dependencies:

Beginning with Kafka

To successfully install Kafka using this module you need to have Apache ZooKeeper already running at localhost:2181. You can specify another ZooKeeper host:port configuration using the config hash of the kafka::broker class.

The default configuration installs Kafka 0.11.0.3 binaries with Scala 2.11:

  class { 'kafka': }

If you want a Kafka broker server that connects to ZooKeeper listening on port 2181:

  class { 'kafka::broker':
    config => {
      'broker.id'         => '0',
      'zookeeper.connect' => 'localhost:2181'
    }
  }

Usage

You can specify different Kafka binaries packages versions to install. Please take a look at the different Scala and Kafka versions combinations at the Apache Kafka Website

Installing Kafka version 1.1.0 with scala 2.12

We first install the binary package with:

  class { 'kafka':
    version => '1.1.0',
    scala_version => '2.12'
  }

Then we set a minimal Kafka broker configuration with:

  class { 'kafka::broker':
    config => {
      'broker.id'         => '0',
      'zookeeper.connect' => 'localhost:2181'
    }
  }

Reference

The reference documentation of this module is generated using puppetlabs/puppetlabs-strings.
