kafka-aggregator 0.2.0

Overview

kafka-aggregator uses Faust’s windowing feature to aggregate a stream of messages from Kafka.

kafka-aggregator implements a Faust agent, a “stream processor”, that adds messages from a source topic into a Faust table. The table is configured as a tumbling window with a size, representing the window duration (time interval) and an expiration time, which specifies the duration for which the data allocated to each window will be stored. Every time a window expires, a callback function is called to aggregate the messages allocated to that window. The size of the window controls the frequency of the aggregated stream.

kafka-aggregator uses faust-avro to add Avro serialization and Schema Registry support to Faust. faust-avro can parse Faust models into Avro Schemas.

See the docs for more information.

• Add first and third quartiles (q1 and q3) to the list of summary statistics computed by the aggregator.

• Ability to configure the list of summary statistics to be computed.

• Pinned top-level requeriments.

• Add Kafka Connect to the docker-compose setup.

• Use only one Schema Registry by default to simplify local execution.

• First release to PyPI.

0.1.0 (2020-07-13)

Initial release of kafka-aggregator with the following features:

• Use Faust windowing feature to aggregate a stream of messages.

• Use Faust-avro to add Avro serialization and Schema Registry support to Faust.

• Support to an internal Schema Registry to store schemas for the aggreated topics (optional).

• Create aggregation topic schemas from the source topic schemas and from the list of summary statistics to be computed.

• Ability to create Faust records dynamically from aggregation topic schemas.

• Ability to auto-generate code for the Faust agents (stream processors).

• Compute summary statistics for numeric fields: min(), mean(), median(), stdev(), max().

• Add example module to initialize a number of source topics in kafka, control the number of fields in each topic, and produce messages for those topics at a given frequency.

• Use Kafdrop to inspect messages from source and aggregated topics.

• Add kafka-aggregator documentation site.
