RabbitMQ Stream Python Client

A Python asyncio-based client for RabbitMQ Streams

Install

The client is distributed via PIP:

	pip install rstream

Publishing messages:

You can publish messages with four different methods:

  • send: asynchronous, messages are automatically buffered internally and sent at once after a timeout expires.
  • send_batch: synchronous, the user buffers the messages and sends them. This is the fastest publishing method.
  • send_wait: synchronous, the caller wait till the message is confirmed. This is the slowest publishing method.
  • send_sub_entry: asynchronous, allow batch in sub-entry mode. This mode increases throughput at the cost of increased latency and potential duplicated messages even when deduplication is enabled. It also allows using compression to reduce bandwidth and storage if messages are reasonably similar, at the cost of increasing CPU usage on the client side.

Examples:

Publishing with confirmation

The Send method takes as parameter an handle function that will be called asynchronously when the message sent will be notified from the server to have been published.

Example:

With send_wait instead will wait until the confirmation from the server is received.

Consuming messages:

See consumer examples for basic consumer and consumers with different offsets.

Server-side offset tracking

RabbitMQ Streams provides server-side offset tracking for consumers. This features allows a consuming application to restart consuming where it left off in a previous run. You can use the store_offset (to store an offset in the server) and query_offset (to query it) methods of the consumer class like in this example:

Superstreams

A super stream is a logical stream made of individual, regular streams. It is a way to scale out publishing and consuming with RabbitMQ Streams: a large logical stream is divided into partition streams, splitting up the storage and the traffic on several cluster nodes.

See the blog post for more info.

You can use superstream_producer and superstream_consumer classes which internally uses producers and consumers to operate on the componsing streams.

See the Super Stream example

Single Active Consumer support:

Single active consumer provides exclusive consumption and consumption continuity on a stream.
See the blog post for more info. See examples in:

See the single active consumer example

Connecting with SSL:

import ssl

ssl_context = ssl.SSLContext()
ssl_context.load_cert_chain('/path/to/certificate.pem', '/path/to/key.pem')

producer = Producer(
    host='localhost',
    port=5551,
    ssl_context=ssl_context,
    username='guest',
    password='guest',
)

Load Balancer

In order to handle load balancers, you can use the load_balancer_mode parameter for producers and consumers. This will always attempt to create a connection via the load balancer, discarding connections that are inappropriate for the client type.

Producers must connect to the leader node, while consumers can connect to any, prioritizing replicas if available.

TODO

  • Documentation
  • Handle MetadataUpdate and reconnect to another broker on stream configuration changes
  • AsyncIterator protocol for consumer
  • Add frame size validation
