The Debezium source connector pulls messages from MySQL and persists the messages to Pulsar topics.

Configuration

The configuration of Debezium source connector has the following properties.

Name	Required	Default	Description
task.class	true	null	A source task class that implemented in Debezium.
database.hostname	true	null	The address of a database server.
database.port	true	null	The port number of a database server.
database.user	true	null	The name of a database user that has the required privileges.
database.password	true	null	The password for a database user that has the required privileges.
database.server.id	true	null	The connector’s identifier that must be unique within a database cluster and similar to the database’s server-id configuration property.
database.server.name	true	null	The logical name of a database server/cluster, which forms a namespace and it is used in all the names of Kafka topics to which the connector writes, the Kafka Connect schema names, and the namespaces of the corresponding Avro schema when the Avro Connector is used.
database.whitelist	false	null	A list of all databases hosted by this server which is monitored by the connector. This is optional, and there are other properties for listing databases and tables to include or exclude from monitoring.
key.converter	true	null	The converter provided by Kafka Connect to convert record key.
value.converter	true	null	The converter provided by Kafka Connect to convert record value.
database.history	true	null	The name of the database history class.
database.history.pulsar.topic	true	null	The name of the database history topic where the connector writes and recovers DDL statements. Note: this topic is for internal use only and should not be used by consumers.
database.history.pulsar.service.url	true	null	Pulsar cluster service URL for history topic.
pulsar.service.url	true	null	Pulsar cluster service URL.
offset.storage.topic	true	null	Record the last committed offsets that the connector successfully completes.

Converter options

• org.apache.kafka.connect.json.JsonConverter

  Thejson-with-envelope config is valid only for the JsonConverter. By default, the value is set to false. When the json-with-envelope value is set to false, the consumer uses the schema Schema.KeyValue(Schema.AUTO_CONSUME(), Schema.AUTO_CONSUME(), KeyValueEncodingType.SEPARATED), and the message only consists of the payload. When the json-with-envelope value is set to true, the consumer uses the schema Schema.KeyValue(Schema.BYTES, Schema.BYTES, and the message consists of the schema and the payload.

• org.apache.pulsar.kafka.shade.io.confluent.connect.avro.AvroConverter

  If you select the AvroConverter, the consumer uses the schema Schema.KeyValue(Schema.AUTO_CONSUME(), Schema.AUTO_CONSUME(), KeyValueEncodingType.SEPARATED), and the message consists of the payload.

Example of MySQL

You need to create a configuration file before using the Pulsar Debezium connector.

Configuration

You can use one of the following methods to create a configuration file.

• JSON

  {
      "database.hostname": "localhost",
      "database.port": "3306",
      "database.user": "debezium",
      "database.password": "dbz",
      "database.server.id": "184054",
      "database.server.name": "dbserver1",
      "database.whitelist": "inventory",
      "database.history": "org.apache.pulsar.io.debezium.PulsarDatabaseHistory",
      "database.history.pulsar.topic": "history-topic",
      "database.history.pulsar.service.url": "pulsar://127.0.0.1:6650",
      "key.converter": "org.apache.kafka.connect.json.JsonConverter",
      "value.converter": "org.apache.kafka.connect.json.JsonConverter",
      "pulsar.service.url": "pulsar://127.0.0.1:6650",
      "offset.storage.topic": "offset-topic"
  }

• YAML

  You can create a debezium-mysql-source-config.yaml file and copy the contents below to the debezium-mysql-source-config.yaml file.

  tenant: "public"
  namespace: "default"
  name: "debezium-mysql-source"
  topicName: "debezium-mysql-topic"
  archive: "connectors/pulsar-io-debezium-mysql-{{pulsar:version}}.nar"
  parallelism: 1
  
  configs:
  
      ## config for mysql, docker image: debezium/example-mysql:0.8
      database.hostname: "localhost"
      database.port: "3306"
      database.user: "debezium"
      database.password: "dbz"
      database.server.id: "184054"
      database.server.name: "dbserver1"
      database.whitelist: "inventory"
      database.history: "org.apache.pulsar.io.debezium.PulsarDatabaseHistory"
      database.history.pulsar.topic: "history-topic"
      database.history.pulsar.service.url: "pulsar://127.0.0.1:6650"
  
      ## KEY_CONVERTER_CLASS_CONFIG, VALUE_CONVERTER_CLASS_CONFIG
      key.converter: "org.apache.kafka.connect.json.JsonConverter"
      value.converter: "org.apache.kafka.connect.json.JsonConverter"
  
      ## PULSAR_SERVICE_URL_CONFIG
      pulsar.service.url: "pulsar://127.0.0.1:6650"
  
      ## OFFSET_STORAGE_TOPIC_CONFIG
      offset.storage.topic: "offset-topic"

Usage

This example shows how to change the data of a MySQL table using the Pulsar Debezium connector.

1. Start a MySQL server with a database from which Debezium can capture changes.

   $ docker run -it --rm \
   --name mysql \
   -p 3306:3306 \
   -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=debezium \
   -e MYSQL_USER=mysqluser \
   -e MYSQL_PASSWORD=mysqlpw debezium/example-mysql:0.8

2. Start a Pulsar service locally in standalone mode.

   $ bin/pulsar standalone

3. Start the Pulsar Debezium connector in local run mode using one of the following methods.

   • Use the JSON configuration file as shown previously.

     Make sure the nar file is available at connectors/pulsar-io-debezium-mysql-{{pulsar:version}}.nar.

     $ bin/pulsar-admin source localrun \
     --archive connectors/pulsar-io-debezium-mysql-{{pulsar:version}}.nar \
     --name debezium-mysql-source --destination-topic-name debezium-mysql-topic \
     --tenant public \
     --namespace default \
     --source-config '{"database.hostname": "localhost","database.port": "3306","database.user": "debezium","database.password": "dbz","database.server.id": "184054","database.server.name": "dbserver1","database.whitelist": "inventory","database.history": "org.apache.pulsar.io.debezium.PulsarDatabaseHistory","database.history.pulsar.topic": "history-topic","database.history.pulsar.service.url": "pulsar://127.0.0.1:6650","key.converter": "org.apache.kafka.connect.json.JsonConverter","value.converter": "org.apache.kafka.connect.json.JsonConverter","pulsar.service.url": "pulsar://127.0.0.1:6650","offset.storage.topic": "offset-topic"}'

   • Use the YAML configuration file as shown previously.

     $ bin/pulsar-admin source localrun \
     --source-config-file debezium-mysql-source-config.yaml

4. Subscribe the topic sub-products for the table inventory.products.

   $ bin/pulsar-client consume -s "sub-products" public/default/dbserver1.inventory.products -n 0

5. Start a MySQL client in docker.

   $ docker run -it --rm \
   --name mysqlterm \
   --link mysql \
   --rm mysql:5.7 sh \
   -c 'exec mysql -h"$MYSQL_PORT_3306_TCP_ADDR" -P"$MYSQL_PORT_3306_TCP_PORT" -uroot -p"$MYSQL_ENV_MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD"'

6. A MySQL client pops out.

   Use the following commands to change the data of the table products.

   mysql> use inventory;
   mysql> show tables;
   mysql> SELECT * FROM  products;
   mysql> UPDATE products SET name='1111111111' WHERE id=101;
   mysql> UPDATE products SET name='1111111111' WHERE id=107;

   In the terminal window of subscribing topic, you can find the data changes have been kept in the sub-products topic.
