Module: Karafka::Processing::Strategies::Dlq

Includes:
Default
Included in:
DlqMom
Defined in:
lib/karafka/processing/strategies/dlq.rb

Overview

When using dead letter queue, processing won’t stop after defined number of retries upon encountering non-critical errors but the messages that error will be moved to a separate topic with their payload and metadata, so they can be handled differently.

Constant Summary collapse

FEATURES =

Apply strategy when only dead letter queue is turned on

def dispatch_to_dlq(skippable_message)
  producer.public_send(
    topic.dead_letter_queue.dispatch_method,
    topic: topic.dead_letter_queue.topic,
    payload: skippable_message.raw_payload
  )

  # Notify about dispatch on the events bus
  Karafka.monitor.instrument(
    'dead_letter_queue.dispatched',
    caller: self,
    message: skippable_message
  )
end

#find_skippable_message ⇒ Array<Karafka::Messages::Message, Boolean>

Finds the message may want to skip (all, starting from first)

Returns:

  • (Array<Karafka::Messages::Message, Boolean>) —

    message we may want to skip and information if this message was from marked offset or figured out via mom flow

def find_skippable_message
  skippable_message = messages.find do |msg|
    coordinator.marked? && msg.offset == coordinator.seek_offset
  end

  # If we don't have the message matching the last comitted offset, it means that
  # user operates with manual offsets and we're beyond the batch in which things
  # broke for the first time. Then we skip the first (as no markings) and we
  # move on one by one.
  skippable_message ? [skippable_message, true] : [messages.first, false]
end

#handle_after_consume ⇒ Object

When manual offset management is on, we do not mark anything as consumed automatically and we rely on the user to figure things out

#mark_after_dispatch? ⇒ Boolean

Returns should we mark given message as consumed after dispatch. For default non MOM strategies if user did not explicitly tell us not to, we mark it. Default is nil, which means true in this case. If user provided alternative value, we go with it.

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    should we mark given message as consumed after dispatch. For default non MOM strategies if user did not explicitly tell us not to, we mark it. Default is nil, which means true in this case. If user provided alternative value, we go with it.

  topic.dead_letter_queue.mark_after_dispatch
end

#mark_as_consumed(message) ⇒ Object

Override of the standard #mark_as_consumed in order to handle the pause tracker reset in case DLQ is marked as fully independent. When DLQ is marked independent, any offset marking causes the pause count tracker to reset. This is useful when the error is not due to the collective batch operations state but due to intermediate “crawling” errors that move with it

#mark_as_consumed!(message) ⇒ Object
