Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the role for your ansible playbook. Once launched, it will install a Apache Kafka distributed streaming platform in a Debian system.

Prerequisities

Ansible 2.4.3.0 version installed. Molecule 1.25 version installed. Ansible-Lint 3.4.20 version installed.

Inventory destination should be a Debian environment.

For testing purposes, Molecule with Vagrant as driver (with hostmanager plugin) and VirtualBox as provider.

Installing

Create or add to your roles dependency file (e.g requirements.yml):

- src: http://github.com/idealista/kafka-role.git
  scm: git
  version: 1.0.0
  name: kafka

Install the role with ansible-galaxy command:

ansible-galaxy install -p roles -r requirements.yml -f

Use in a playbook:

---
- hosts: someserver
  roles:
    - role: kafka

Usage

Look to the defaults properties file to see the possible configuration properties.

Kafka topics could be configured through the role. Just set the topics like:

kafka_topics:
  - name: 'test'
    partitions: '3'
    replicas: '3'
  - name: 'test2'
    partitions: '3'
    replicas: '1'

Enable delete topic var if you want to remove topics from the cluster.

The number of partitions can be modified but not the replicas. Please have this in mind when create the topics.

Also notice that you can't decrease the number of partitions of a created topic.
