Azure Event Hubs

Since Camel 3.5

Both producer and consumer are supported

The Azure Event Hubs used to integrate Azure Event Hubs using AMQP protocol. Azure EventHubs is a highly scalable publish-subscribe service that can ingest millions of events per second and stream them to multiple consumers.

Besides AMQP protocol support, Event Hubs as well supports Kafka and HTTPS protocols. Therefore, you can use as well Camel Kafka component to produce and consume to Azure Event Hubs. You can lean more here.

Prerequisites

You must have a valid Windows Azure Event Hubs account. More information is available at Azure Documentation Portal.

Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml for this component:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-azure-eventhubs</artifactId>
    <version>x.x.x</version>
  <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>

URI Format

azure-eventhubs://[namespace/eventHubName][?options]

In case you supply the connectionString, namespace and eventHubName are not required as these options already included in the connectionString

Configuring Options

Camel components are configured on two separate levels:

  • component level

  • endpoint level

Configuring Component Options

The component level is the highest level which holds general and common configurations that are inherited by the endpoints. For example a component may have security settings, credentials for authentication, urls for network connection and so forth.

Some components only have a few options, and others may have many. Because components typically have pre configured defaults that are commonly used, then you may often only need to configure a few options on a component; or none at all.

Configuring components can be done with the Component DSL, in a configuration file (application.properties|yaml), or directly with Java code.

Configuring Endpoint Options

Where you find yourself configuring the most is on endpoints, as endpoints often have many options, which allows you to configure what you need the endpoint to do. The options are also categorized into whether the endpoint is used as consumer (from) or as a producer (to), or used for both.

Configuring endpoints is most often done directly in the endpoint URI as path and query parameters. You can also use the Endpoint DSL and DataFormat DSL as a type safe way of configuring endpoints and data formats in Java.

A good practice when configuring options is to use Property Placeholders, which allows to not hardcode urls, port numbers, sensitive information, and other settings. In other words placeholders allows to externalize the configuration from your code, and gives more flexibility and reuse.

The following two sections lists all the options, firstly for the component followed by the endpoint.

Component Options

Authentication Information

To use this component, you have 3 options in order to provide the required Azure authentication information:

  • Provide sharedAccessName and sharedAccessKey for your Azure Event Hubs account. The sharedAccessKey can be generated through your Event Hubs Azure portal.

  • Provide connectionString string, if you provide the connection string, you don’t supply namespace, eventHubName, sharedAccessKey and sharedAccessName as these data already included in the connectionString, therefore is the simplest option to get started. Learn more here on how to generate the connection string.

  • Provide a EventHubProducerAsyncClient instance which can be provided into producerAsyncClient. However, this is only possible for camel producer, for the camel consumer, is not possible to inject the client due to some design constraint by the EventProcessorClient.

  • Provide an implementation of com.azure.core.credential.TokenCredential into the Camel’s Registry, e.g. using the com.azure.identity.DefaultAzureCredentialBuilder().build(); API. See the documentation here about Azure-AD authentication.

Checkpoint Store Information

A checkpoint store stores and retrieves partition ownership information and checkpoint details for each partition in a given consumer group of an event hub instance. Users are not meant to implement an CheckpointStore. Users are expected to choose existing implementations of this interface, instantiate it, and pass it to the component through checkpointStore option. Users are not expected to use any of the methods on a checkpoint store, these are used internally by the client.

Having said that, if the user does not pass any CheckpointStore implementation, the component will fallback to use BlobCheckpointStore to store the checkpoint info in Azure Blob Storage account. If you chose to use the default BlobCheckpointStore, you will need to supply the following options:

  • blobAccountName: It sets Azure account name to be used for authentication with azure blob services.

  • blobAccessKey : It sets access key for the associated azure account name to be used for authentication with azure blob services.

  • blobContainerName : It sets the blob container that shall be used by the BlobCheckpointStore to store the checkpoint offsets.

Async Consumer and Producer

This component implements the async Consumer and producer.

This allows camel route to consume and produce events asynchronously without blocking any threads.

Usage

For example in order consume event from EventHub, use the following snippet:

from("azure-eventhubs:/camel/camelHub?sharedAccessName=SASaccountName&sharedAccessKey=SASaccessKey&blobAccountName=accountName&blobAccessKey=accessKey&blobContainerName=containerName")
  .to("file://queuedirectory");

Message Headers

The Azure Event Hubs component supports 8 message header(s), which is/are listed below:

Name Description Default Type

CamelAzureEventHubsPartitionKey (common)

Constant: PARTITION_KEY

(producer) Overrides the hashing key to be provided for the batch of events, which instructs the Event Hubs service to map this key to a specific partition. (consumer) It sets the partition hashing key if it was set when originally publishing the event. If it exists, this value was used to compute a hash to select a partition to send the message to. This is only present on a received EventData.

String

CamelAzureEventHubsPartitionId (common)

Constant: PARTITION_ID

(producer) Overrides the identifier of the Event Hub partition that the events will be sent to. (consumer) It sets the partition id of the Event Hub.

String

CamelAzureEventHubsOffset (consumer)

Constant: OFFSET

It sets the offset of the event when it was received from the associated Event Hub partition. This is only present on a received EventData.

Integer

CamelAzureEventHubsEnqueuedTime (consumer)

Constant: ENQUEUED_TIME

It sets the instant, in UTC, of when the event was enqueued in the Event Hub partition. This is only present on a received EventData.

Instant

CamelAzureEventHubsSequenceNumber (consumer)

Constant: SEQUENCE_NUMBER

It sets the sequence number assigned to the event when it was enqueued in the associated Event Hub partition. This is unique for every message received in the Event Hub partition. This is only present on a received EventData.

Long

CamelAzureEventHubsMetadata (consumer)

Constant: METADATA

The set of free-form event properties which may be used for passing metadata associated with the event with the event body during Event Hubs operations.

Map

CamelMessageTimestamp (consumer)

Constant: MESSAGE_TIMESTAMP

The timestamp of the message.

long

CamelAzureEventHubsCheckpointUpdatedBy (consumer)

Constant: CHECKPOINT_UPDATED_BY

It sets the reason for the checkpoint to have been updated. This is only present on a received EventData.

String

Message body type

The component’s producer expects the data in the message body to be in byte[]. This allows the user to utilize Camel TypeConverter to marshal/unmarshal data with ease. The same goes as well for the component’s consumer, it will set the encoded data as byte[] in the message body.

Automatic detection of EventHubProducerAsyncClient client in registry

The component is capable of detecting the presence of an EventHubProducerAsyncClient bean into the registry. If it’s the only instance of that type it will be used as client and you won’t have to define it as uri parameter, like the example above. This may be really useful for smarter configuration of the endpoint.

Consumer Example

The example below will unmarshal the events that was originally produced in JSON:

from("azure-eventhubs:?connectionString=RAW({{connectionString}})"&blobContainerName=containerTest&eventPosition=#eventPosition"
    +"&blobAccountName={{blobAccountName}}&blobAccessKey=RAW({{blobAccessKey}})")
.unmarshal().json(JsonLibrary.Jackson)
.to(result);

Producer Example

The example below will send events as String to EventHubs:

from("direct:start")
.process(exchange -> {
        exchange.getIn().setHeader(EventHubsConstants.PARTITION_ID, firstPartition);
        exchange.getIn().setBody("test event");
})
.to("azure-eventhubs:?connectionString=RAW({{connectionString}})"

Also, the component supports as well aggregation of messages by sending events as iterable of either Exchanges/Messages or normal data (e.g: list of Strings). For example:

from("direct:start")
.process(exchange -> {
        final List<String> messages = new LinkedList<>();
        messages.add("Test String Message 1");
        messages.add("Test String Message 2");

        exchange.getIn().setHeader(EventHubsConstants.PARTITION_ID, firstPartition);
        exchange.getIn().setBody(messages);
})
.to("azure-eventhubs:?connectionString=RAW({{connectionString}})"

Azure-AD Authentication example

The example below makes use of the Azure-AD authentication. See here about what environment variables you need to set for this to work:

@BindToRegistry("myTokenCredential")
public com.azure.core.credential.TokenCredential myTokenCredential() {
    return com.azure.identity.DefaultAzureCredentialBuilder().build();
}

from("direct:start")
.to("azure-eventhubs:namespace/eventHubName?tokenCredential=#myTokenCredential)"

Development Notes (Important)

When developing on this component, you will need to obtain your Azure accessKey in order to run the integration tests. In addition to the mocked unit tests you will need to run the integration tests with every change you make or even client upgrade as the Azure client can break things even on minor versions upgrade. To run the integration tests, on this component directory, run the following maven command:

mvn verify -DconnectionString=string -DblobAccountName=blob -DblobAccessKey=key

Whereby blobAccountName is your Azure account name and blobAccessKey is the access key being generated from Azure portal and connectionString is the eventHub connection string.

Spring Boot Auto-Configuration

When using azure-eventhubs with Spring Boot make sure to use the following Maven dependency to have support for auto configuration:
