There are two Rocket MQ clients, both of which belong to the same consumption group. How to set the message load balance consumption? It seems that one client has more consumption messages and the other has less, and the consumption is uneven.
This link should clarify your question.
DefaultMQPushConsumer consumer = new DefaultMQPushConsumer("CID_JODIE_1");
consumer.subscribe("TopicTest", "*");
// MessageModel.CLUSTERING means all consumers consume load-balancely
// MessageModel.BROADCASTING means every consumer instance will consume all messages
consumer.setMessageModel(MessageModel.CLUSTERING);

Hi I am new to Spring Boot #kafkaListener. Service A publishes message on kafka topic continuously. My service consume the message from that topic. Partitions of topic in both service (Service A and my service) is same, but rate of consuming the message is low as compare to publishing the message. I can see consumer lag in kafka.
How can I fill that lag? Or how can I increase the rate of consuming the message?
Can I have separate thread for processing message. I can consume a message in Queue (acknowledge after adding into queue) and another thread will read from that queue to process that message.
Is there any settings or property provides by Spring to increase the rate of consumption?
Lag is something you want to reduce, not "fill".
Can you consume faster? Yes. For example, changing the consumer max.poll.records can be increased from the default of 500, per your I/O rates (do your own benchmarking) to fetch more data at once from Kafka. However, this will increase the surface area for consumer error handling.
You can also consume and immediately ack the offsets, then toss records into a queue for processing. There is possibility for skipping records in this case, though, as you move processing off the critical path for offset tracking.
Or you could only commit once per consumer poll loop, rather than ack every record, but this may result in duplicate record processing.
As mentioned before, adding partitions is the best way to scale consumption after distributing producer workload
You generally will need to increase the number of partitions (and concurrency in the listener container) if a single consumer thread can't keep up with the production rate.
If that doesn't help, you will need to profile your consumer app to see where the bottleneck is.
I have ActiveMQ Artemis. Producer generates 1000 messages and consumer one by one processing their. Now I want to process this queue with help of two consumers. I start new consumer and new messages are distributed between two runned consumers. My question: is it posible redistribute old messages between all started consumers?
Once messages are dispatched by the broker to a consumer then the broker can't simply recall them as the consumer may be processing them. It's up to the consumer to cancel the messages back to the queue (e.g. by closing its connection/session).
My recommendation would be to tune your consumerWindowSize (set on the client's URL) so that a suitable number of messages are dispatched to your consumers. The default consumerWindowSize is 1M (1024 * 1024 bytes). A smaller consumerWindowSize would mean that more clients would be able to receive messages concurrently, but it would also mean that clients would need to conduct more network round-trips to tell the broker to dispatch more messages when they run low. You'll need to run benchmarks to find the right consumerWindowSize value for your use-case and performance needs.
We have an IBM MQ JMS queue and want to distribute the data into multiple consumers for load balancing. So if we write two JMS Clients to consume from same JMS queue what will happen? Will Messages be equally distributed across both consumers since one consumer will delete the data after it is read? Is there a possibility for data duplication, like if the same message is read by both consumers in a race condition?
My comments below are based on destructive get and not a browse get.

They will both consume messages.

consumer will delete the data after it is read?
No. The "hot" consumer will be feed the next available message, assuming it is "getting" a message again before the next message arrives.

is read by both consumers in a race condition?
Not if you are performing a destructive get (the default).
What can be the best way to aggregate messages from many different sources (actually queues/topics) into a single queue/topic and then consume it. I am trying to design an application to receive messages from different topics in JMS using weblogic.
You could write your own "aggregator" as a stand-alone Java application:
For each queue/topic have a reader in its own thread.
Each reader sends its received message again on a "aggregate queue".
Have another thread to listen on the "aggregate queue".
As a variation, you could use a JVM Queue (like java.util.concurrent.ArrayBlockingQueue) as the "aggregate queue". This is faster, does not require another MQ queue, does not need network bandwidth, but it's not persistent.
Another idea is to use a "Message driven bean (MDB)" for each incoming queue/topic:
Again, each of these MDBs just reads the message and resends it to the "aggregate queue".
Have another MDB listening on the "aggregate queue".
A few suggestions on quality requirements. I belive you have to consider them.
They will be highly relate with your technical solution.
is that message loss acceptable?
client ack could be considered.
e.g. A memory queue sit in middle, e.g. incoming queue1...n -> ArrayBlockingQueue in memory -> outgoing queue. The data in the ArrayBlockingQueue , will lost when app crash.
is that message duplicate acceptable for the single outgoing queue?
I would suggest yes.
Set applicable level PossibleDuplicateFlag to make the client aware of that.
how fast the incoming messages per second on the diff incoming queue?
one queue session has only a uniqe thread. Performance has to be considered in advance.
I was wondering what is the difference between a JMS Queue and JMS Topic.
ActiveMQ page says
Topics
In JMS a Topic implements publish and subscribe semantics. When you publish a message it goes to all the subscribers who are
interested - so zero to many subscribers will receive a copy of the
message. Only subscribers who had an active subscription at the time
the broker receives the message will get a copy of the message.
Queues
A JMS Queue implements load balancer semantics. A single message will be received by exactly one consumer. If there are no
consumers available at the time the message is sent it will be kept
until a consumer is available that can process the message. If a
consumer receives a message and does not acknowledge it before closing
then the message will be redelivered to another consumer. A queue can
have many consumers with messages load balanced across the available
consumers.
I want to have 'something' what will send a copy of the message to each subscriber in the same sequence as that in which the message was received by the ActiveMQ broker.
Any thoughts?
That means a topic is appropriate. A queue means a message goes to one and only one possible subscriber. A topic goes to each and every subscriber.
It is simple as that:
Queues = Insert > Withdraw (send to single subscriber) 1:1
Topics = Insert > Broadcast (send to all subscribers) 1:n
Topics are for the publisher-subscriber model, while queues are for point-to-point.
A JMS topic is the type of destination in a 1-to-many model of distribution.
The same published message is received by all consuming subscribers. You can also call this the 'broadcast' model. You can think of a topic as the equivalent of a Subject in an Observer design pattern for distributed computing. Some JMS providers efficiently choose to implement this as UDP instead of TCP. For topic's the message delivery is 'fire-and-forget' - if no one listens, the message just disappears. If that's not what you want, you can use 'durable subscriptions'.
A JMS queue is a 1-to-1 destination of messages. The message is received by only one of the consuming receivers (please note: consistently using subscribers for 'topic client's and receivers for queue client's avoids confusion). Messages sent to a queue are stored on disk or memory until someone picks it up or it expires. So queues (and durable subscriptions) need some active storage management, you need to think about slow consumers.
In most environments, I would argue, topics are the better choice because you can always add additional components without having to change the architecture. Added components could be monitoring, logging, analytics, etc.
You never know at the beginning of the project what the requirements will be like in 1 year, 5 years, 10 years. Change is inevitable, embrace it :-)
Queues
Pros
Simple messaging pattern with a transparent communication flow
Messages can be recovered by putting them back on the queue
Cons
Only one consumer can get the message
Implies a coupling between producer and consumer as it’s an one-to-one relation
Topics
Pros
Multiple consumers can get a message
Decoupling between producer and consumers (publish-and-subscribe pattern)
Cons
More complicated communication flow
A message cannot be recovered for a single listener
As for the order preservation, see this ActiveMQ page. In short: order is preserved for single consumers, but with multiple consumers order of delivery is not guaranteed.
If you have N consumers then:
JMS Topics deliver messages to N of N
JMS Queues deliver messages to 1 of N
You said you are "looking to have a 'thing' that will send a copy of the message to each subscriber in the same sequence as that in which the message was received by the ActiveMQ broker."
So you want to use a Topic in order that all N subscribers get a copy of the message.
TOPIC:: topic is one to many communication... (multipoint or publish/subscribe)
EX:-imagine a publisher publishes the movie in the youtub then all its subscribers will gets notification....
QUEVE::queve is one-to-one communication ...
Ex:-When publish a request for recharge it will go to only one qreciever ...
always remember if request goto all qreceivers then multiple recharge happened so while developing analyze which is fit for a application
Queue is JMS managed object used for holding messages waiting for subscribers to consume. When all subscribers consumed the message , message will be removed from queue.
Topic is that all subscribers to a topic receive the same message when the message is published.
