kafka_open()

Description:

Connect to Kafka server.

Syntax:

kafka_open(filename or fileObject, topic,..., partitionSize)

Note:

The external library function (See External Library Guide) connects to Kafka server, and stores attribute parameter properties in the configuration file with extension.properties.

Parameter:

topic	Query one or more specified topics
filename	The attribute parameter file with the extension .properties, which contains the send key, value encoding and message decoding; all of them should correspond to each other one by one
fileObject	A file object
partitionSize	The number of partitions in a topic; if a corresponding topic already exists, ignore the parameter, which means SPL does not support changing the partition size in a topic

Return value:

A connection object

Example:

	A
1	=kafka_open("D://kafka.properties","topic-test")	Connect topic-test’s configuration file kafka.properties to Kafka server using a topic
2	=kafka_open(file("D://kafka.properties"),"topic-test",3)	Connect topic-test’s configuration file kafka.properties to Kafka server using a file object
3	=kafka_close(A1)

Explanations of user-defined coding and decoding:
Put the jar containing encoding and decoding information in exlib\KafkaCil directory, as shown below:

In raq-kafa-cil-2.11.jar, the encoding file is EncodeingSequence.class, the decoding file is DecodeingSequence.class, and their corresponding record object is Sequence.

Below are configurations of user-defined encoding and decoding in .properties file:
key.serializer=org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringSerializer 
value.serializer=com.raqsoft.lib.kafka.EncodeingSequence
