Overview

A single listener that listens to incoming messages from a single subscription group. It polls the messages and then enqueues jobs. It also takes care of potential recovery from critical errors by restarting everything in a safe manner.

This is the heart of the consumption process.

It provides async API for managing, so all status changes are expected to be async.

Instance Method Details

#active?Boolean

Returns is this listener active (not stopped and not pending).

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

    is this listener active (not stopped and not pending)

#callObject

Note:

Prefetch callbacks can be used to seek offset or do other things before we actually start consuming data

Runs the main listener fetch loop.

def call
  Karafka.monitor.instrument(
    'connection.listener.before_fetch_loop',
    caller: self,
    client: @client,
    subscription_group: @subscription_group
  )

  fetch_loop

  Karafka.monitor.instrument(
    'connection.listener.after_fetch_loop',
    caller: self,
    client: @client,
    subscription_group: @subscription_group
  )
end

#shutdownObject

Note:

This method is not private despite being part of the fetch loop because in case of a forceful shutdown, it may be invoked from a separate thread

Note:

We wrap it with a mutex exactly because of the above case of forceful shutdown

Stops the jobs queue, triggers shutdown on all the executors (sync), commits offsets and stops kafka client.

def shutdown
  @mutex.synchronize do
    return if stopped?
    # Nothing to clear if it was not even running
    return stopped! if pending?

    @executors.clear
    @coordinators.reset
    @client.stop

    stopped!
  end
end

#start!Object

We overwrite the state ‘#start` because on start we need to also start running listener in the async thread. While other state transitions happen automatically and status state change is enough, here we need to run the background threads
