Use the default endpoint to send and subscribe to messages

Install the C++ library

1. Run the following command to switch to the yum source configuration Directory: /etc/yum.repos.d/ .

   
           cd /etc/yum.repos.d/ 
         

2. Create the yum source configuration file confluent.repo .

   
           [Confluent.dist] name=Confluent repository (dist) baseurl=https://packages.confluent.io/rpm/5.1/7 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=https://packages.confluent.io/rpm/5.1/archive.key enabled=1 [Confluent] name=Confluent repository baseurl=https://packages.confluent.io/rpm/5.1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=https://packages.confluent.io/rpm/5.1/archive.key enabled=1 
         

3. Run the following command to install the C++ library:

   
           yum install librdkafka-devel 
         

Install the Node.js library

1. Run the following command to specify the file path of the OpenSSL header for the preprocessor:

   
           export CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include 
         

2. Run the following command to specify the path of the OpenSSL library for the connector:

   
           export LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib 
         

3. Run the following command to install the Node.js library:

   
           npm install i --unsafe-perm node-rdkafka 
         

Prepare configurations

module.exports = {
    'bootstrap_servers': ["kafka-ons-internet.aliyun.com:8080"],
    'topic_name': 'xxx',
    'consumer_id': 'xxx'
}

Send messages

1. Create a message sending program named producer.js.

   const Kafka = require('node-rdkafka');
   const config = require('./setting');
   console.log("features:" + Kafka.features);
   console.log(Kafka.librdkafkaVersion);
   
   var producer = new Kafka.Producer({
       /*'debug': 'all', */
       'api.version.request': 'true',
       'bootstrap.servers': config['bootstrap_servers'],
       'dr_cb': true,
       'dr_msg_cb': true
   });
   
   var connected = false
   
   producer.setPollInterval(100);
   
   producer.connect();
   
   
   producer.on('ready', function() {
     connected = true
     console.log("connect ok")
   });
   
   producer.on("disconnected", function() {
     connected = false;
     producer.connect();
   })
   
   producer.on('event.log', function(event) {
         console.log("event.log", event);
   });
   
   producer.on("error", function(error) {
       console.log("error:" + error);
   });
   
   function produce() {
     try {
       producer.produce(
         config['topic_name'],   
         null,      
         new Buffer('Hello Ali Kafka'),      
         null,   
         Date.now()
       );
     } catch (err) {
       console.error('A problem occurred when sending our message');
       console.error(err);
     }
   
   }
   
   producer.on('delivery-report', function(err, report) {
       console.log("delivery-report: producer ok");
   });
   
   producer.on('event.error', function(err) {
       console.error('event.error:' + err);
   })
   
   setInterval(produce,1000,"Interval");

2. Run the following command to send messages:

   node producer.js

Subscribe to messages

1. Create a consumption program named consumer.js.

   const Kafka = require('node-rdkafka');
   const config = require('./setting');
   console.log(Kafka.features);
   console.log(Kafka.librdkafkaVersion);
   console.log(config)
   
   var consumer = new Kafka.KafkaConsumer({
       /*'debug': 'all',*/
       'api.version.request': 'true',
       'bootstrap.servers': config['bootstrap_servers'],
       'group.id' : config['consumer_id']
   });
   
   consumer.connect();
   
   consumer.on('ready', function() {
     console.log("connect ok");
     consumer.subscribe([config['topic_name']]);
     consumer.consume();
   })
   
   consumer.on('data', function(data) {
     console.log(data);
   });
   
   
   consumer.on('event.log', function(event) {
         console.log("event.log", event);
   });
   
   consumer.on('error', function(error) {
       console.log("error:" + error);
   });
   
   consumer.on('event', function(event) {
           console.log("event:" + event);
   });

2. Run the following command to consume messages:

   node consumer.js
