chetanmeh opened a new pull request #4628: Embedded Kafka support in OpenWhisk Standalone mode
URL: https://github.com/apache/openwhisk/pull/4628
Adds support for launching Embedded Kafka and Kafka Drop UI
## Description
This PR adds support for launching an [embedded-kafka][1]. This is mostly meant to enable local development for features which need Kafka support (like User Event or Activation Persister Service etc). In this mode an inprocess Kafka Server (v2.1.1 currently) and Zookeeper Server
```
java -jar openwhisk-standalone.jar --kafka
```
Key aspects
* Kafka version 2.1.1 is being used while we run with 0.11.0.1. Tried to use that but then it causes class compatability issue with newer version of Kafka client being used
* This mode is also useful to simulate some of the integration test scenarios with Activation Persister Service
* Kafka Server launched is supporting connection from both host and within Docker container based on [kafka listeners explanation][3]
* Kafka and Zookeeper generated files are stored in `~/.openwhisk/standalone/server-3233/tmp` and are removed upon restart
Once launched you can see the details of port used etc as below
```
[ 9092 ] localhost:9092 (kafka)
[ 9092 ] 192.168.65.2:9091 (kafka-docker)
[ 2181 ] Zookeeper (zookeeper)
[ 9000 ] http://localhost:9000 (whisk-kafka-drop-ui)
```
### Kafka Ui - Kafdrop 3
This PR also adds support for launching an optional [Kafdrop 3][2]
```
java -jar openwhisk-standalone.jar --kafka --kafka-ui
```
This UI can help a developer to understand the structure of messages exchanged on various topics easily
