camel-netty-kafka-connector sink configuration

When using camel-netty-kafka-connector as sink make sure to use the following Maven dependency to have support for the connector:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.camel.kafkaconnector</groupId>
  <artifactId>camel-netty-kafka-connector</artifactId>
  <version>x.x.x</version>
  <!-- use the same version as your Camel Kafka connector version -->
</dependency>

To use this Sink connector in Kafka connect you’ll need to set the following connector.class

connector.class=org.apache.camel.kafkaconnector.netty.CamelNettySinkConnector

The camel-netty sink connector supports 108 options, which are listed below.

Name Description Default Required Priority

camel.sink.path.protocol

The protocol to use which can be tcp or udp. One of: [tcp] [udp]

null

true

HIGH

camel.sink.path.host

The hostname. For the consumer the hostname is localhost or 0.0.0.0. For the producer the hostname is the remote host to connect to

null

true

HIGH

camel.sink.path.port

The host port number

null

true

HIGH

camel.sink.endpoint.disconnect

Whether or not to disconnect(close) from Netty Channel right after use. Can be used for both consumer and producer.

false

false

MEDIUM

camel.sink.endpoint.keepAlive

Setting to ensure socket is not closed due to inactivity

true

false

MEDIUM

camel.sink.endpoint.reuseAddress

Setting to facilitate socket multiplexing

true

false

MEDIUM

camel.sink.endpoint.reuseChannel

This option allows producers and consumers (in client mode) to reuse the same Netty Channel for the lifecycle of processing the Exchange. This is useful if you need to call a server multiple times in a Camel route and want to use the same network connection. When using this, the channel is not returned to the connection pool until the Exchange is done; or disconnected if the disconnect option is set to true. The reused Channel is stored on the Exchange as an exchange property with the key NettyConstants#NETTY_CHANNEL which allows you to obtain the channel during routing and use it as well.

false

false

MEDIUM

camel.sink.endpoint.sync

Setting to set endpoint as one-way or request-response

true

false

MEDIUM

camel.sink.endpoint.tcpNoDelay

Setting to improve TCP protocol performance

true

false

MEDIUM

camel.sink.endpoint.connectTimeout

Time to wait for a socket connection to be available. Value is in milliseconds.

10000

false

MEDIUM

camel.sink.endpoint.lazyStartProducer

Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel’s routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing.

false

false

MEDIUM

camel.sink.endpoint.requestTimeout

Allows to use a timeout for the Netty producer when calling a remote server. By default no timeout is in use. The value is in milli seconds, so eg 30000 is 30 seconds. The requestTimeout is using Netty’s ReadTimeoutHandler to trigger the timeout.

null

false

MEDIUM

camel.sink.endpoint.clientInitializerFactory

To use a custom ClientInitializerFactory

null

false

MEDIUM

camel.sink.endpoint.correlationManager

To use a custom correlation manager to manage how request and reply messages are mapped when using request/reply with the netty producer. This should only be used if you have a way to map requests together with replies such as if there is correlation ids in both the request and reply messages. This can be used if you want to multiplex concurrent messages on the same channel (aka connection) in netty. When doing this you must have a way to correlate the request and reply messages so you can store the right reply on the inflight Camel Exchange before its continued routed. We recommend extending the TimeoutCorrelationManagerSupport when you build custom correlation managers. This provides support for timeout and other complexities you otherwise would need to implement as well. See also the producerPoolEnabled option for more details.

null

false

MEDIUM

camel.sink.endpoint.lazyChannelCreation

Channels can be lazily created to avoid exceptions, if the remote server is not up and running when the Camel producer is started.

true

false

MEDIUM

camel.sink.endpoint.producerPoolEnabled

Whether producer pool is enabled or not. Important: If you turn this off then a single shared connection is used for the producer, also if you are doing request/reply. That means there is a potential issue with interleaved responses if replies comes back out-of-order. Therefore you need to have a correlation id in both the request and reply messages so you can properly correlate the replies to the Camel callback that is responsible for continue processing the message in Camel. To do this you need to implement NettyCamelStateCorrelationManager as correlation manager and configure it via the correlationManager option. See also the correlationManager option for more details.

true

false

MEDIUM

camel.sink.endpoint.producerPoolMaxActive

Sets the cap on the number of objects that can be allocated by the pool (checked out to clients, or idle awaiting checkout) at a given time. Use a negative value for no limit.

-1

false

MEDIUM

camel.sink.endpoint.producerPoolMaxIdle

Sets the cap on the number of idle instances in the pool.

100

false

MEDIUM

camel.sink.endpoint.producerPoolMinEvictableIdle

Sets the minimum amount of time (value in millis) an object may sit idle in the pool before it is eligible for eviction by the idle object evictor.

300000L

false

MEDIUM

camel.sink.endpoint.producerPoolMinIdle

Sets the minimum number of instances allowed in the producer pool before the evictor thread (if active) spawns new objects.

false

false

MEDIUM

camel.sink.endpoint.useByteBuf

If the useByteBuf is true, netty producer will turn the message body into ByteBuf before sending it out.

false

false

MEDIUM

camel.sink.endpoint.allowSerializedHeaders

MEDIUM

camel.sink.endpoint.basicPropertyBinding

Whether the endpoint should use basic property binding (Camel 2.x) or the newer property binding with additional capabilities

false

false

MEDIUM

camel.sink.endpoint.channelGroup

To use a explicit ChannelGroup.

null

false

MEDIUM

camel.sink.endpoint.nativeTransport

Whether to use native transport instead of NIO. Native transport takes advantage of the host operating system and is only supported on some platforms. You need to add the netty JAR for the host operating system you are using. See more details at: http://netty.io/wiki/native-transports.html

false

false

MEDIUM

camel.sink.endpoint.options

Allows to configure additional netty options using option. as prefix. For example option.child.keepAlive=false to set the netty option child.keepAlive=false. See the Netty documentation for possible options that can be used.

false

false

MEDIUM

camel.sink.endpoint.transferExchange

Only used for TCP. You can transfer the exchange over the wire instead of just the body. The following fields are transferred: In body, Out body, fault body, In headers, Out headers, fault headers, exchange properties, exchange exception. This requires that the objects are serializable. Camel will exclude any non-serializable objects and log it at WARN level.

false
