Setup Guide

Download the connectors and copy them to kafka/plugins folder that will be mounted to the docker container.

TMP_FOLDER=/tmp/dbz-pg-connector
mkdir -p $TMP_FOLDER
# See https://debezium.io/documentation/reference/stable/install.html to get the download link.
wget -qO- https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/io/debezium/debezium-connector-postgres/2.6.0.Final/debezium-connector-postgres-2.6.0.Final-plugin.tar.gz | tar -xvz -C $TMP_FOLDER
cp $TMP_FOLDER/debezium-connector-postgres/*.jar $PWD/kafka/plugins/debezium-connector-postgres && rm -rf $TMP_FOLDER

TMP_FOLDER=/tmp/iceberg-kafka-connect
mkdir -p $TMP_FOLDER
# See https://github.com/tabular-io/iceberg-kafka-connect/releases to get the download link.
wget -qO- https://github.com/tabular-io/iceberg-kafka-connect/releases/download/v0.6.15/iceberg-kafka-connect-runtime-0.6.15.zip | tar -xvz -C $TMP_FOLDER
cp $TMP_FOLDER/iceberg-kafka-connect-runtime-0.6.15/lib/*.jar $PWD/kafka/plugins/iceberg-kafka-connect && rm -rf $TMP_FOLDER
# Download hadoop dependencies that are not included
wget -P $PWD/kafka/plugins/iceberg-kafka-connect https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/commons/commons-configuration2/2.0/commons-configuration2-2.0.jar
wget -P $PWD/kafka/plugins/iceberg-kafka-connect https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/hadoop/hadoop-auth/3.3.6/hadoop-auth-3.3.6.jar

Run Docker compose. This will
1. Start the Postgres database and also run the scripts under postgres/scripts/seed.
2. Start the Kafka in KRaft mode. The plugins from the previosuly step will be loaded.
3. Start a spark container that will run the pyspark script from spark/scripts/consumer.py. This container will also be used to visualize the created iceberg tables.
```
docker compose up
```

If we are running for the first time, spark container will need to download the required dependencies. We need to wait for the downloads to complete before we can proceed. We can monitor the stdout to see if the downloads are completed. Alternatively, we can also query to see the spark streaming app is already running.

docker container exec kafka-spark curl -s http://localhost:4040/api/v1/applications | jq

]

Create and start the kafka connectors for postgres source and iceberg sink in detached mode.

docker container exec -d kafka-standalone \
  /opt/kafka/bin/connect-standalone.sh \
  /opt/kafka/config-cdc/connect-standalone.properties \
  /opt/kafka/config-cdc/connect-postgres-source.json \
  /opt/kafka/config-cdc/connect-iceberg-sink.json

Note: If we are facing issues with the iceberg sink connector, we can use the file sink connector to debug.

docker container exec -d kafka-standalone \
  /opt/kafka/bin/connect-standalone.sh \
  /opt/kafka/config-cdc/connect-standalone.properties \
  /opt/kafka/config-cdc/connect-postgres-source.json \
  /opt/kafka/config-cdc/connect-file-sink.properties

We can monitor the console to see if the connectors are ready. Alternatively, we can also query to see the status of the connectors.

curl -s localhost:8083/connectors/dbz-pg-source/status | jq
curl -s localhost:8083/connectors/iceberg-sink/status | jq

Check the Iceberg tables from the sinks.

Check the iceberg tables created by Spark.

docker container exec kafka-spark \

We can also run the pyspark shell to debug or run further analysis.

docker container exec -it kafka-spark /opt/spark/bin/pyspark \
--packages org.apache.spark:spark-sql-kafka-0-10_2.12:3.5.1,org.apache.iceberg:iceberg-spark-runtime-3.5_2.12:1.5.0 \
--conf spark.driver.extraJavaOptions="-Divy.cache.dir=/.ivy -Divy.home=/.ivy"

Run the CUD operations on postgres. Repeat step 5-6.
