Class KafkaProducer<K,V>
- All Implemented Interfaces:
Closeable
,AutoCloseable
,Producer<K,
V>
The producer is thread safe and sharing a single producer instance across threads will generally be faster than having multiple instances.
Here is a simple example of using the producer to send records with strings containing sequential numbers as the key/value pairs.
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("bootstrap.servers", "localhost:9092");
props.put("linger.ms", 1);
props.put("key.serializer", "org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringSerializer");
props.put("value.serializer", "org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringSerializer");
Producer<String, String> producer = new KafkaProducer<>(props);
for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
producer.send(new ProducerRecord<String, String>("my-topic", Integer.toString(i), Integer.toString(i)));
producer.close();
The producer consists of a pool of buffer space that holds records that haven't yet been transmitted to the server as well as a background I/O thread that is responsible for turning these records into requests and transmitting them to the cluster. Failure to close the producer after use will leak these resources.
The send()
method is asynchronous. When called, it adds the record to a buffer of pending record sends
and immediately returns. This allows the producer to batch together individual records for efficiency.
The acks
config controls the criteria under which requests are considered complete. The default setting "all"
will result in blocking on the full commit of the record, the slowest but most durable setting.
If the request fails, the producer can automatically retry. The retries
setting defaults to Integer.MAX_VALUE
, and
it's recommended to use delivery.timeout.ms
to control retry behavior, instead of retries
.
The producer maintains buffers of unsent records for each partition. These buffers are of a size specified by
the batch.size
config. Making this larger can result in more batching, but requires more memory (since we will
generally have one of these buffers for each active partition).
By default a buffer is available to send immediately even if there is additional unused space in the buffer. However if you
want to reduce the number of requests you can set linger.ms
to something greater than 0. This will
instruct the producer to wait up to that number of milliseconds before sending a request in hope that more records will
arrive to fill up the same batch. This is analogous to Nagle's algorithm in TCP. For example, in the code snippet above,
likely all 100 records would be sent in a single request since we set our linger time to 1 millisecond. However this setting
would add 1 millisecond of latency to our request waiting for more records to arrive if we didn't fill up the buffer. Note that
records that arrive close together in time will generally batch together even with linger.ms=0
. So, under heavy load,
batching will occur regardless of the linger configuration; however setting this to something larger than 0 can lead to fewer, more
efficient requests when not under maximal load at the cost of a small amount of latency.
The buffer.memory
controls the total amount of memory available to the producer for buffering. If records
are sent faster than they can be transmitted to the server then this buffer space will be exhausted. When the buffer space is
exhausted additional send calls will block. The threshold for time to block is determined by max.block.ms
after which it throws
a TimeoutException.
The key.serializer
and value.serializer
instruct how to turn the key and value objects the user provides with
their ProducerRecord
into bytes. You can use the included ByteArraySerializer
or
StringSerializer
for simple byte or string types.
From Kafka 0.11, the KafkaProducer supports two additional modes: the idempotent producer and the transactional producer. The idempotent producer strengthens Kafka's delivery semantics from at least once to exactly once delivery. In particular producer retries will no longer introduce duplicates. The transactional producer allows an application to send messages to multiple partitions (and topics!) atomically.
From Kafka 3.0, the enable.idempotence
configuration defaults to true. When enabling idempotence,
retries
config will default to Integer.MAX_VALUE
and the acks
config will
default to all
. There are no API changes for the idempotent producer, so existing applications will
not need to be modified to take advantage of this feature.
To take advantage of the idempotent producer, it is imperative to avoid application level re-sends since these cannot
be de-duplicated. As such, if an application enables idempotence, it is recommended to leave the retries
config unset, as it will be defaulted to Integer.MAX_VALUE
. Additionally, if a send(ProducerRecord)
returns an error even with infinite retries (for instance if the message expires in the buffer before being sent),
then it is recommended to shut down the producer and check the contents of the last produced message to ensure that
it is not duplicated. Finally, the producer can only guarantee idempotence for messages sent within a single session.
To use the transactional producer and the attendant APIs, you must set the transactional.id
configuration property. If the transactional.id
is set, idempotence is automatically enabled along with
the producer configs which idempotence depends on. Further, topics which are included in transactions should be configured
for durability. In particular, the replication.factor
should be at least 3
, and the
min.insync.replicas
for these topics should be set to 2. Finally, in order for transactional guarantees
to be realized from end-to-end, the consumers must be configured to read only committed messages as well.
The purpose of the transactional.id
is to enable transaction recovery across multiple sessions of a
single producer instance. It would typically be derived from the shard identifier in a partitioned, stateful, application.
As such, it should be unique to each producer instance running within a partitioned application.
All the new transactional APIs are blocking and will throw exceptions on failure. The example below illustrates how the new APIs are meant to be used. It is similar to the example above, except that all 100 messages are part of a single transaction.
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("bootstrap.servers", "localhost:9092");
props.put("transactional.id", "my-transactional-id");
Producer<String, String> producer = new KafkaProducer<>(props, new StringSerializer(), new StringSerializer());
producer.initTransactions();
try {
producer.beginTransaction();
for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
producer.send(new ProducerRecord<>("my-topic", Integer.toString(i), Integer.toString(i)));
producer.commitTransaction();
} catch (ProducerFencedException | OutOfOrderSequenceException | AuthorizationException e) {
// We can't recover from these exceptions, so our only option is to close the producer and exit.
producer.close();
} catch (KafkaException e) {
// For all other exceptions, just abort the transaction and try again.
producer.abortTransaction();
}
producer.close();
As is hinted at in the example, there can be only one open transaction per producer. All messages sent between the
beginTransaction()
and commitTransaction()
calls will be part of a single transaction. When the
transactional.id
is specified, all messages sent by the producer must be part of a transaction.
The transactional producer uses exceptions to communicate error states. In particular, it is not required
to specify callbacks for producer.send()
or to call .get()
on the returned Future: a
KafkaException
would be thrown if any of the
producer.send()
or transactional calls hit an irrecoverable error during a transaction. See the send(ProducerRecord)
documentation for more details about detecting errors from a transactional send.
producer.abortTransaction()
upon receiving a KafkaException
we can ensure that any
successful writes are marked as aborted, hence keeping the transactional guarantees.
This client can communicate with brokers that are version 0.10.0 or newer. Older or newer brokers may not support
certain client features. For instance, the transactional APIs need broker versions 0.11.0 or later. You will receive an
UnsupportedVersionException
when invoking an API that is not available in the running broker version.

initTransactions
public void initTransactions()Needs to be called before any other methods when thetransactional.id
is set in the configuration. This method does the following:- Ensures any transactions initiated by previous instances of the producer with the same
transactional.id
are completed. If the previous instance had failed with a transaction in progress, it will be aborted. If the last transaction had begun completion, but not yet finished, this method awaits its completion. - Gets the internal producer id and epoch, used in all future transactional messages issued by the producer.
TimeoutException
if the transactional state cannot be initialized before expiration ofmax.block.ms
. Additionally, it will raiseInterruptException
if interrupted. It is safe to retry in either case, but once the transactional state has been successfully initialized, this method should no longer be used.- Specified by:

sendOffsetsToTransaction
@Deprecated public void sendOffsetsToTransaction(Map<TopicPartition, OffsetAndMetadata> offsets, String consumerGroupId) throws ProducerFencedExceptionDeprecated.Since 3.0.0, please usesendOffsetsToTransaction(Map, ConsumerGroupMetadata)
instead.Sends a list of specified offsets to the consumer group coordinator, and also marks those offsets as part of the current transaction. These offsets will be considered committed only if the transaction is committed successfully. The committed offset should be the next message your application will consume, i.e. lastProcessedMessageOffset + 1.This method should be used when you need to batch consumed and produced messages together, typically in a consume-transform-produce pattern. Thus, the specified
consumerGroupId
should be the same as config parametergroup.id
of the usedconsumer
. Note, that the consumer should haveenable.auto.commit=false
and should also not commit offsets manually (viasync
orasync
commits).This method is a blocking call that waits until the request has been received and acknowledged by the consumer group coordinator; but the offsets are not considered as committed until the transaction itself is successfully committed later (via the
commitTransaction()
call).- Specified by:

sendOffsetsToTransaction
public void sendOffsetsToTransaction(Map<TopicPartition, OffsetAndMetadata> offsets, ConsumerGroupMetadata groupMetadata) throws ProducerFencedExceptionSends a list of specified offsets to the consumer group coordinator, and also marks those offsets as part of the current transaction. These offsets will be considered committed only if the transaction is committed successfully. The committed offset should be the next message your application will consume, i.e. lastProcessedMessageOffset + 1.This method should be used when you need to batch consumed and produced messages together, typically in a consume-transform-produce pattern. Thus, the specified
groupMetadata
should be extracted from the usedconsumer
viaKafkaConsumer.groupMetadata()
to leverage consumer group metadata. This will provide stronger fencing than just supplying theconsumerGroupId
and passing innew ConsumerGroupMetadata(consumerGroupId)
, however note that the full set of consumer group metadata returned byKafkaConsumer.groupMetadata()
requires the brokers to be on version 2.5 or newer to understand.This method is a blocking call that waits until the request has been received and acknowledged by the consumer group coordinator; but the offsets are not considered as committed until the transaction itself is successfully committed later (via the

commitTransaction
Commits the ongoing transaction. This method will flush any unsent records before actually committing the transaction.Further, if any of the
send(ProducerRecord)
calls which were part of the transaction hit irrecoverable errors, this method will throw the last received exception immediately and the transaction will not be committed. So allsend(ProducerRecord)
calls in a transaction must succeed in order for this method to succeed.If the transaction is committed successfully and this method returns without throwing an exception, it is guaranteed that all
callbacks
for records in the transaction will have been invoked and completed. Note that exceptions thrown by callbacks are ignored; the producer proceeds to commit the transaction in any case.Note that this method will raise
TimeoutException
if the transaction cannot be committed before expiration ofmax.block.ms
, but this does not mean the request did not actually reach the broker. In fact, it only indicates that we cannot get the acknowledgement response in time, so it's up to the application's logic to decide how to handle timeouts. Additionally, it will raiseInterruptException
if interrupted. It is safe to retry in either case, but it is not possible to attempt a different operation (such as abortTransaction) since the commit may already be in the progress of completing. If not retrying, the only option is to close the producer.- Specified by:

send
Asynchronously send a record to a topic. Equivalent tosend(record, null)
. Seesend(ProducerRecord, Callback)
for details. -
send
Asynchronously send a record to a topic and invoke the provided callback when the send has been acknowledged.The send is asynchronous and this method will return immediately once the record has been stored in the buffer of records waiting to be sent. This allows sending many records in parallel without blocking to wait for the response after each one.
The result of the send is a
RecordMetadata
specifying the partition the record was sent to, the offset it was assigned and the timestamp of the record. If the producer is configured with acks = 0, theRecordMetadata
will have offset = -1 because the producer does not wait for the acknowledgement from the broker. IfCreateTime
is used by the topic, the timestamp will be the user provided timestamp or the record send time if the user did not specify a timestamp for the record. IfLogAppendTime
is used for the topic, the timestamp will be the Kafka broker local time when the message is appended.Since the send call is asynchronous it returns a
Future
for theRecordMetadata
that will be assigned to this record. Invokingget()
on this future will block until the associated request completes and then return the metadata for the record or throw any exception that occurred while sending the record.If you want to simulate a simple blocking call you can call the
get()
method immediately:byte[] key = "key".getBytes(); byte[] value = "value".getBytes(); ProducerRecord<byte[],byte[]> record = new ProducerRecord<byte[],byte[]>("my-topic", key, value) producer.send(record).get();
Fully non-blocking usage can make use of the
Callback
parameter to provide a callback that will be invoked when the request is complete.ProducerRecord<byte[],byte[]> record = new ProducerRecord<byte[],byte[]>("the-topic", key, value); producer.send(myRecord, new Callback() { public void onCompletion(RecordMetadata metadata, Exception e) { if(e != null) { e.printStackTrace(); } else { System.out.println("The offset of the record we just sent is: " + metadata.offset()); } } });
callback1
is guaranteed to execute beforecallback2
:producer.send(new ProducerRecord<byte[],byte[]>(topic, partition, key1, value1), callback1); producer.send(new ProducerRecord<byte[],byte[]>(topic, partition, key2, value2), callback2);
When used as part of a transaction, it is not necessary to define a callback or check the result of the future in order to detect errors from
send
. If any of the send calls failed with an irrecoverable error, the finalcommitTransaction()
call will fail and throw the exception from the last failed send. When this happens, your application should callabortTransaction()
to reset the state and continue to send data.Some transactional send errors cannot be resolved with a call to
abortTransaction()
. In particular, if a transactional send finishes with aProducerFencedException
, aOutOfOrderSequenceException
, aUnsupportedVersionException
, or anAuthorizationException
, then the only option left is to callclose()
. Fatal errors cause the producer to enter a defunct state in which future API calls will continue to raise the same underlying error wrapped in a newKafkaException
.It is a similar picture when idempotence is enabled, but no
transactional.id
has been configured. In this case,UnsupportedVersionException
andAuthorizationException
are considered fatal errors. However,ProducerFencedException
does not need to be handled. Additionally, it is possible to continue sending after receiving anOutOfOrderSequenceException
, but doing so can result in out of order delivery of pending messages. To ensure proper ordering, you should close the producer and create a new instance.If the message format of the destination topic is not upgraded to 0.11.0.0, idempotent and transactional produce requests will fail with an
UnsupportedForMessageFormatException
error. If this is encountered during a transaction, it is possible to abort and continue. But note that future sends to the same topic will continue receiving the same exception until the topic is upgraded.Note that callbacks will generally execute in the I/O thread of the producer and so should be reasonably fast or they will delay the sending of messages from other threads. If you want to execute blocking or computationally expensive callbacks it is recommended to use your own
Executor
in the callback body to parallelize processing.- Specified by:

flush
public void flush()Invoking this method makes all buffered records immediately available to send (even iflinger.ms
is greater than 0) and blocks on the completion of the requests associated with these records. The post-condition offlush()
is that any previously sent record will have completed (e.g.Future.isDone() == true
). A request is considered completed when it is successfully acknowledged according to theacks
configuration you have specified or else it results in an error.Other threads can continue sending records while one thread is blocked waiting for a flush call to complete, however no guarantee is made about the completion of records sent after the flush call begins.
This method can be useful when consuming from some input system and producing into Kafka. The
flush()
call gives a convenient way to ensure all previously sent messages have actually completed.This example shows how to consume from one Kafka topic and produce to another Kafka topic:
for(ConsumerRecord<String, String> record: consumer.poll(100)) producer.send(new ProducerRecord("my-topic", record.key(), record.value()); producer.flush(); consumer.commitSync();
retries=<large_number>
in our config.Applications don't need to call this method for transactional producers, since the
commitTransaction()
will flush all buffered records before performing the commit. This ensures that all thesend(ProducerRecord)
calls made since the previousbeginTransaction()
are completed before the commit.- Specified by:

close
public void close()Close this producer. This method blocks until all previously sent requests complete. This method is equivalent toclose(Long.MAX_VALUE, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)
.If close() is called from
Callback
, a warning message will be logged and close(0, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS) will be called instead. We do this because the sender thread would otherwise try to join itself and block forever.- Specified by:

- If the thread is interrupted while blocked.KafkaException
- If an unexpected error occurs while trying to close the client, this error should be treated as fatal and indicate the client is no longer usable.
-
close
This method waits up totimeout
for the producer to complete the sending of all incomplete requests.If the producer is unable to complete all requests before the timeout expires, this method will fail any unsent and unacknowledged records immediately. It will also abort the ongoing transaction if it's not already completing.
If invoked from within a
Callback
this method will not block and will be equivalent toclose(Duration.ofMillis(0))
. This is done since no further sending will happen while blocking the I/O thread of the producer.- Specified by:
