Overview

AoP (AMQP on Pulsar) supports AMQP0-9-1 protocol and it is backed by Pulsar. AoP is implemented as a Pulsar ProtocolHandler with the protocol name of "amqp". The AoP protocol handler is built as a nar file and it is loaded when the Pulsar broker starts.

Installation

To install the AoP protocol handler, follow these steps:

1. Download the NAR package of the AoP protocol handler from here.

2. Install the AoP protocol handler.

   1. Set the configuration of the AoP protocol handler.

      Add the following properties and set their values in the Pulsar configuration file, such as conf/broker.conf or conf/standalone.conf.

      Property	Recommended value	Default value
      messagingProtocols	amqp	null
      protocolHandlerDirectory	./protocols	null

      Example

      messagingProtocols=amqp
      protocolHandlerDirectory=./protocols

   2. Set the AMQP server listeners.

      Note

      The hostname in the AMQP server listeners should be the same one as the Pulsar broker's advertisedAddress.

      Example

      amqpListeners=amqp://127.0.0.1:5672
      advertisedAddress=127.0.0.1

3. Load the AoP protocol handler. After installing the AoP protocol handler on the Pulsar broker, you can restart the Pulsar broker to load the AoP protocol handler.

Configuration

The following table lists configurations available for the AoP protocol handler.

Item	Description	Default value
amqpTenant	Set the AMQP on the Pulsar broker tenant.	public
amqpListeners	Set the AMQP service port.	amqp://127.0.0.1:5672
amqpMaxNoOfChannels	Set the maximum number of channels available concurrently on a connection.	64
amqpMaxFrameSize	Set the maximum frame size on a connection.	4194304 (4MB)
amqpHeartBeat	Set the default heartbeat timeout on the Pulsar broker.	60 (s)
amqpProxyPort	Set the AMQP proxy service port.	5682
amqpProxyEnable	Enable/Disable the proxy service.	false

Usage

Note

AoP is supported on Pulsar 2.6.0 or later releases.

This example shows how to use the AoP protocol handler in standalone mode.

1. Download the NAR package of the AoP protocol handler from here.

2. Install the AoP protocol handler.

   1. Set the configuration of the AoP protocol handler.

      Add the following properties and set their values in the Pulsar configuration file, such as conf/broker.conf or conf/standalone.conf.

      Property	Recommended value	Default value
      messagingProtocols	amqp	null
      protocolHandlerDirectory	Location of the AoP NAR file	./protocols

      Example

      messagingProtocols=amqp
      protocolHandlerDirectory=./protocols

   2. Set the AMQP server listeners.

      Note

      The hostname in the AMQP server listeners should be the same one as the Pulsar broker's advertisedAddress.

      Example

      amqpListeners=amqp://127.0.0.1:5672
      advertisedAddress=127.0.0.1

3. Load the AoP protocol handler. After installing the AoP protocol handler on the Pulsar broker, you can restart the Pulsar broker to load the AoP protocol handler.

   $PULSAR_HOME/bin/pulsar-daemon start standalone

4. Add the namespace for vhost.

   # for example, the vhost name is `vhost`
   bin/pulsar-admin namespaces create -b 1 public/vhost1
   # set retention for the namespace
   bin/pulsar-admin namespaces set-retention -s 100M -t 2d public/vhost1

5. Use the RabbitMQ client to test the AoP protocol handler.

   # add RabbitMQ client dependency in your project
   <dependency>
     <groupId>com.rabbitmq</groupId>
     <artifactId>amqp-client</artifactId>
     <version>5.8.0</version>
   </dependency>

   // Java Code
   
   // create connection
   ConnectionFactory connectionFactory = new ConnectionFactory();
   connectionFactory.setVirtualHost("vhost1");
   connectionFactory.setHost("127.0.0.1");
   connectionFactory.setPort(5672);
   Connection connection = connectionFactory.newConnection();
   Channel channel = connection.createChannel();
   
   String exchange = "ex";
   String queue = "qu";
   
   // exchange declare
   channel.exchangeDeclare(exchange, BuiltinExchangeType.FANOUT, true, false, false, null);
   
   // queue declare and bind
   channel.queueDeclare(queue, true, false, false, null);
   channel.queueBind(queue, exchange, "");
   
   // publish some messages
   for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
       channel.basicPublish(exchange, "", null, ("hello - " + i).getBytes());
   }
   
   // consume messages
   CountDownLatch countDownLatch = new CountDownLatch(100);
   channel.basicConsume(queue, true, new DefaultConsumer(channel) {
       @Override
       public void handleDelivery(String consumerTag, Envelope envelope, AMQP.BasicProperties properties, byte[] body) throws IOException {
           System.out.println("receive msg: " + new String(body));
           countDownLatch.countDown();
       }
   });
   countDownLatch.await();
   
   // release resource
   channel.close();
   connection.close();
