View Source brod_topic_subscriber behaviour (brod v3.16.3)

A topic subscriber is a gen_server which subscribes to all or a given set of partition consumers (pollers) of a given topic and calls the user-defined callback functions for message processing.

Functions

Acknowledge that message has been successfully consumed.

Start (link) a topic subscriber which receives and processes the messages from a given partition set.

Start (link) a topic subscriber which receives and processes the messages or message sets from the given partition set. Use atom all to subscribe to all partitions. Messages are handled by calling CbModule:handle_message

ack(Pid, Partition, Offset)

View Source
-spec ack(pid(), brod:partition(), brod:offset()) -> ok.
Acknowledge that message has been successfully consumed.
-spec start_link(topic_subscriber_config()) -> {ok, pid()} | {error, _}.

Start (link) a topic subscriber which receives and processes the messages from a given partition set.

Possible Config keys:

  • client: Client ID (or pid, but not recommended) of the brod client. Mandatory
  • topic: Topic to consume from. Mandatory
  • cb_module: Callback module which should have the callback functions implemented for message processing. Mandatory
  • consumer_config: For partition consumer, brod_topic_subscriber:start_link/6. Optional, defaults to []
  • message_type: The type of message that is going to be handled by the callback module. Can be either message or message set. Optional, defaults to message_set
  • init_data: The term() that is going to be passed to CbModule:init/2 when initializing the subscriber. Optional, defaults to undefined
  • partitions: List of partitions to consume from, or atom all. Optional, defaults to all.

Start (link) a topic subscriber which receives and processes the messages from the given partition set. Use atom all to subscribe to all partitions. Messages are handled by calling the callback function.

NOTE: CommittedOffsets are the offsets for the messages that have been successfully processed (acknowledged), not the begin-offset to start fetching from.
-spec stop(pid()) -> ok.
Stop topic subscriber.
