Go Elasticsearch Connect Couchbase

Go implementation of the Elasticsearch Connect Couchbase.

Go Elasticsearch Connect Couchbase streams documents from Couchbase Database Change Protocol (DCP) and writes to Elasticsearch index in near real-time.

Features

• Less resource usage and higher throughput(see Benchmarks).
• Custom routing support(see Example).
• Update multiple documents for a DCP event(see Example).
• Handling different DCP events such as expiration, deletion and mutation(see Example).
• Elasticsearch compression request body support.
• Managing batch configurations such as maximum batch size, batch bytes, batch ticker durations.
• Scale up and down by custom membership algorithms(Couchbase, KubernetesHa, Kubernetes StatefulSet or Static, see examples).
• Easily manageable configurations.

Benchmarks

The benchmark was made with the 1,001,006 Couchbase document, because it is possible to more clearly observe the difference in the batch structure between the two packages. Default configurations for Java Elasticsearch Connect Couchbase used for both connectors.

Package	Time to Process Events	Elasticsearch Indexing Rate(/s)	Average CPU Usage(Core)	Average Memory Usage
Go Elasticsearch Connect Couchbase(Go 1.20)	50s		0.486	408MB
Java Elasticsearch Connect Couchbase(JDK15)	80s		0.31	1091MB

Example

Struct Config

func mapper(event couchbase.Event) []document.ESActionDocument {
  if event.IsMutated {
    e := document.NewIndexAction(event.Key, event.Value, nil)
    return []document.ESActionDocument{e}
  }
  e := document.NewDeleteAction(event.Key, nil)
  return []document.ESActionDocument{e}
}

func main() {
  connector, err := dcpes.NewConnectorBuilder(config.Config{
    Elasticsearch: config.Elasticsearch{
      CollectionIndexMapping: map[string]string{
        "_default": "indexname",
      },
      Urls: []string{"http://localhost:9200"},
    },
    Dcp: dcpcf.Dcp{
      Username:   "user",
      Password:   "password",
      BucketName: "dcp-test",
      Hosts:      []string{"localhost:8091"},
      Dcp: dcpcf.ExternalDcp{
        Group: dcpcf.DCPGroup{
          Name: "groupName",
          Membership: dcpcf.DCPGroupMembership{
            Type: "static",
          },
        },
      },
    },
  }).
    SetMapper(mapper).
    Build()
  if err != nil {
    panic(err)
  }

  defer connector.Close()
  connector.Start()

Elasticsearch Specific Configuration

Variable	Type	Required	Default	Description
elasticsearch.collectionIndexMapping	map[string]string	yes		Defines which Couchbase collection events will be written to which index
elasticsearch.urls	[]string	yes		Elasticsearch connection urls
elasticsearch.typeName	string	no	_doc	Defines Elasticsearch index type name
elasticsearch.batchSizeLimit	int	no	1000	Maximum message count for batch, if exceed flush will be triggered.
elasticsearch.batchTickerDuration	time.Duration	no	10s	Batch is being flushed automatically at specific time intervals for long waiting messages in batch.
elasticsearch.batchByteSizeLimit	int	no	10485760	Maximum size(byte) for batch, if exceed flush will be triggered.
elasticsearch.maxConnsPerHost	int	no	512	Maximum number of connections per each host which may be established
elasticsearch.maxIdleConnDuration	time.Duration	no	10s	Idle keep-alive connections are closed after this duration.
elasticsearch.compressionEnabled	boolean	no	false	Compression can be used if message size is large, CPU usage may be affected.
