Depending on your environment, the deployment of all the components takes a while and can easily exceed the default helm timeout.  Recommend adding --timeout 900 to your helm install command line.

Disable AAF Authentication for DMaaP MR

Authentication via AAF is the default setting in Dublin DMaaP MR.  But sometimes it is useful to disable this check and the dependency on AAF  (e.g. for a demo setup).  This section provides some instructions for disabling AAF for the various DMaaP components.

Deploy DMaaP MR without AAF

Use WindRiver Test AAF instead of a local deployment

By default, dmaap-bc utilizes the common postgresql chart.  This starts up several additional pods.  But dmaap-bc does support a non-PG option (i.e. no data persistence if pod is restarted) which is handy for quick tests and full redeployments.

To disable Postresql:

  1. edit oom/kubernetes/dmaap/components/dmaap-bc/values.yaml
  2. change the attribute PG.enabled to false
  3. recompile the dmaap helm charts.  i.e. from kubernetes directory, make dmaap
  4. deploy dmaap

Disable persistence (pv) for kafka and zookeeper (in message-router)

Q: Can I disable the persistent volumes in zookeeper and kafka
 we may not be able to use PV's in our deployment of xyz

Sunil Unnava(10:38:46 AM): Yes. Remove the PV and PVClaimTemplate from the statefulset.yaml. You also dont need * permission-fixer init container

Change Kafka Log Retention

"Kafka Log" refers to the queue used to store messages for each topic.  "Retention" is the max time an individual message should remain in the queue (regardless of whether it was read by a consumer or not)  The default log retention time (i.e. how long a message will be retained)  is 7 days.  A topic with lots of volume might consume the amount of disk space allotted to all the kafka message queues, so in some deployment environments the retention time should be modified.

In your  local deployment, if you know the log retention needs of all Kafka topics, update the default log retention by setting the following environment variable in Kafka statefulset.yaml.


Retention based on time:

KAFKA_LOG_RETENTION_HOURS ( you can also set the retention in minutes and ms using the environment variables KAFKA_LOG_RETENTION_MINUTES and KAFKA_LOG_RETENTION_MS)

Retention based on topic partition size:

KAFKA_LOG_RETENTION_BYTES


Following are the some of the useful commands to override/view/delete( the override)  the topic retention at topic level at run time


To update topic level log retention based on time:

/opt/kafka/bin/kafka-configs.sh --zookeeper message-router-zookeeper:218 --entity-type topics --entity-name <<topic--name>> --alter --add-config retention.ms=<<>>

To update topic level log retention based on topic partition size:

/opt/kafka/bin/kafka-configs.sh --zookeeper message-router-zookeeper:2181 --entity-type topics --entity-name <<topic--name>> --alter --add-config retention.bytes=<<>>


View the topic level overrides:

bin/kafka-configs.sh --zookeeper message-router-zookeeper:2181 --entity-type topics --entity-name <<topic--name>> --describe


Remove the topic level overrides:

/opt/kafka/bin/kafka-configs.sh --zookeeper message-router-zookeeper:2181  --entity-type topics --entity-name <<topic--name>> --alter --<<overrided property to remove>>
