Serializer not compatible to org.apache.avro.util.Utf8 - apache-kafka-streams

I was trying to do aggregation using kafkastreams, i was getting error as given below
Here is what i was doing:
KGroupedStream<String, Long> countrywiseAmount = ......;
KTable<String, CountSum> countrywiseAverageSum = countrywiseAmount
.aggregate(new Initializer<CountSum>() {
#Override
public CountSum apply() {
return new CountSum();
}
}, new Aggregator<String,Long,CountSum>() {
#Override
public CountSum apply(String country, Long amount, CountSum sumByCountry) {
sumByCountry.setCountry(country.toString());
sumByCountry.setCount(sumByCountry.getCount()+1);
sumByCountry.setSum(sumByCountry.getSum()+amount);
return sumByCountry;
}
}, Materialized.with(stringSerde, countSumSerde));
The error i am getting is as below
Caused by: org.apache.kafka.streams.errors.StreamsException: A

Any clue?

There is no issue with the KTable aggregation logic, but the issue with KGroupedStream<String, Long> countrywiseChkAmount, while creating it from KStream<String, AvroModel>, new KeyValue creation, the key should be converted from CharSequence to String. Thanks

How to resolve ClassCastException in MultiResourceItemReader Spring Batch

I'm reading multiple files from the S3 bucket using MultiResourceItemReader, I'm getting ClassCastException before executing the myReader() method, Something wrong with MultiResourceItemReader not sure what's going wrong here.
Please find my code below:
#Bean
public MultiResourceItemReader<String> multiResourceReader()
{
String bucket = "mybucket;
String key = "/myfiles";
List<InputStream> resourceList = s3Client.getFiles(bucket, key);
List<InputStreamResource> inputStreamResourceList = new ArrayList<>();
for (InputStream s: resourceList) {
inputStreamResourceList.add(new InputStreamResource(s));
}
Resource[] resources = inputStreamResourceList.toArray(new InputStreamResource[inputStreamResourceList.size()]);
//InputStreamResource[] resources = inputStreamResourceList.toArray(new InputStreamResource[inputStreamResourceList.size()]);
// I'm getting all the stream content - I verified my stream is not null
for (int i = 0; i < resources.length; i++) {
try {
InputStream s = resources[i].getInputStream();
String result = IOUtils.toString(s, StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
System.out.println(result);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
MultiResourceItemReader<String> resourceItemReader = new MultiResourceItemReader<>();
resourceItemReader.setResources(resources);
resourceItemReader.setDelegate(myReader());
resourceItemReader.setDelegate((ResourceAwareItemReaderItemStream<? extends String>) new CustomComparator());
return resourceItemReader;
}
Exception:
Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: class CustomComparator cannot be cast to class org.springframework.batch.item.file.ResourceAwareItemReaderItemStream (CustomComparator and org.springframework.batch.item.file.ResourceAwareItemReaderItemStream are in unnamed module of loader org.springframework.boot.loader.LaunchedURLClassLoader #cc285f4)

Can someone please help me to resolve this issue. Appreciated your help in advance. Thanks.
The reason you see the NullPointerException is due to the default comparator used by the MultiResourceItemReader to sort the resources after loading them.
The default compare behavior calls the getFilename() method of the InputStreamResource.
Refer - https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-batch/blob/115c3022147692155d45e23cdd5cef84895bf9f5/spring-batch-infrastructure/src/main/java/org/springframework/batch/item/file/MultiResourceItemReader.java#L82
But the InputStreamResource just inherits the getFileName() method from its parent AbstractResource, which just returns null.
https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/blob/316e84f04f3dbec3ea5ab8563cc920fb21f49749/spring-core/src/main/java/org/springframework/core/io/AbstractResource.java#L220
The solution is to provide a custom comparator for the MultiResourceItemReader. Here is a simple example, assuming you do not want to sort the resources in a specific way before processing:
public class CustomComparator implements Comparator<InputStream>{
#Override
public int compare(InputStream is1, InputStream is2) {
//comparing based on last modified time
return Long.compare(is1.hashCode(),is2.hashCode());
}
}
MultiResourceItemReader<String> resourceItemReader = new MultiResourceItemReader<>();
resourceItemReader.setResources(resources);
resourceItemReader.setDelegate(myReader());
//UPDATED with correction - set custom Comparator
resourceItemReader.setComparator(new CustomComparator());
Refer this answer for how a Comparator is used by Spring Batch MultiResourceItemReader.

I will be glad if you help since I am new to kafka and trying to figure out why getting this error
Does the error message not tell you anything?
This error handler cannot process 'SerializationException's directly; please consider configuring an 'ErrorHandlingDeserializer' in the value and/or key deserializer
See the documentation: https://docs.spring.io/spring-kafka/docs/current/reference/html/#error-handling-deserializer
When a deserializer fails to deserialize a message, Spring has no way to handle the problem, because it occurs before the poll() returns. To solve this problem, the ErrorHandlingDeserializer has been introduced. This deserializer delegates to a real deserializer (key or value). If the delegate fails to deserialize the record content, the ErrorHandlingDeserializer returns a null value and a DeserializationException in a header that contains the cause and the raw bytes. When you use a record-level MessageListener, if the ConsumerRecord contains a DeserializationException header for either the key or value, the container’s ErrorHandler is called with the failed ConsumerRecord. The record is not passed to the listener.
You can use the DefaultKafkaConsumerFactory constructor that takes key and value Deserializer objects and wire in appropriate ErrorHandlingDeserializer instances that you have configured with the proper delegates. Alternatively, you can use consumer configuration properties (which are used by the ErrorHandlingDeserializer) to instantiate the delegates. The property names are ErrorHandlingDeserializer.KEY_DESERIALIZER_CLASS and ErrorHandlingDeserializer.VALUE_DESERIALIZER_CLASS. The property value can be a class or class name. The following example shows how to set these properties:
.. // other props
props.put(ConsumerConfig.VALUE_DESERIALIZER_CLASS_CONFIG, ErrorHandlingDeserializer.class);
props.put(ConsumerConfig.KEY_DESERIALIZER_CLASS_CONFIG, ErrorHandlingDeserializer.class);
props.put(ErrorHandlingDeserializer.KEY_DESERIALIZER_CLASS, JsonDeserializer.class);
props.put(JsonDeserializer.KEY_DEFAULT_TYPE, "com.example.MyKey")
props.put(ErrorHandlingDeserializer.VALUE_DESERIALIZER_CLASS, JsonDeserializer.class.getName());
props.put(JsonDeserializer.VALUE_DEFAULT_TYPE, "com.example.MyValue")
props.put(JsonDeserializer.TRUSTED_PACKAGES, "com.example")
return new DefaultKafkaConsumerFactory<>(props);
With Boot:
...
spring.kafka.consumer.value-deserializer=org.springframework.kafka.support.serializer.ErrorHandlingDeserializer
spring.kafka.consumer.properties.spring.deserializer.value.delegate.class=org.springframework.kafka.support.serializer.JsonDeserializer
...

How can I validate an unbounded wildcards elements?

I'm writing a code with spring-boot-starter-web:2.1.6.RELEASE which transitively depends on hibernate-validator:6.0.17.
And I got following error.

Especially from <#NotNull ? extends BigDecimal>.
What did I do wrong?

Your usage is correct. It's probably an implementation bug I think.
Look at how hibernate resolve type reference TypeHelper#getErasedReferenceType:
public static Class<?> getErasedReferenceType(Type type) {
Contracts.assertTrue( isReferenceType( type ), "type is not a reference type: %s", type );
return (Class<?>) getErasedType( type );
}
isReferenceType does not check for wildcard type TypeHelper#isReferenceType:
private static boolean isReferenceType(Type type) {
return type == null
|| type instanceof Class<?>
|| type instanceof ParameterizedType
|| type instanceof TypeVariable<?>
|| type instanceof GenericArrayType;
}
So the assert failed when hibernate try to validate the content of list (caused of <#NotNull ? extends BigDecimal>)
But somehow the TypeHelper#getErasedType supports for wild card type:
public static Type getErasedType(Type type) {
...
if ( type instanceof WildcardType ) {
Type[] upperBounds = ( (WildcardType) type ).getUpperBounds();
return getErasedType( upperBounds[0] );
}
...
}
I will try to open an issue about this.

Registring CustomPropertyEditors for using in BeanWrapper

I am trying to register custom property editors using the following configuration in my spring boot application.Reffered the following documentation link section 5.4.2.1.
#Bean
public static CustomEditorConfigurer customEditorConfigurer() {
CustomEditorConfigurer configurer = new CustomEditorConfigurer();
configurer.setPropertyEditorRegistrars(new PropertyEditorRegistrar[] {
(registry) -> registry.registerCustomEditor(Instant.class, new CustomInstantEditor()) });
return configurer;
}
When I created a BeanWrapper and using it I am getting the following error
Code:
BeanWrapper newAccountWrapper = new BeanWrapperImpl(newAccount);
newAccountWrapper.setPropertyValue("chardate", value);
Error is:
Exception is Failed to convert property value of type [java.lang.String] to required type [java.time.Instant] for property 'chardate'; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot convert value of type [java.lang.String] to required type [java.time.Instant] for property 'chardate': no matching editors or conversion strategy found
But the above code works if I register the CustomEditor for the BeanWrapper
BeanWrapper newAccountWrapper = new BeanWrapperImpl(newAccount);
newAccountWrapper.registerCustomEditor(Instant.class, new
CustomInstantEditor());
So can I not register customPropertyEditors using CustomEditorConfigurer BeanFactoryPostProcessor ?
Additional Info:
BeanWrapper newAccountWrapper = new BeanWrapperImpl(newAccount);
newAccountWrapper.registerCustomEditor(Instant.class, new CustomInstantEditor());
newAccountWrapper.registerCustomEditor(Money.class, new CustomMoneyEditor());
newAccountWrapper.setAutoGrowNestedPaths(true);
accountDomainElements.forEach((accountElement, value) -> {
newAccountWrapper.setPropertyValue(accountElement, value);
Give a try
#Bean
public CustomEditorConfigurer customEditorConfigurer() {
CustomEditorConfigurer configurer = new CustomEditorConfigurer();
Map<Class<?>, Class<? extends PropertyEditor>> customEditors = new HashMap<>();
customEditors.put(Instant.class, CustomInstantEditor.class);
configurer.setCustomEditors(customEditors);
return configurer;
}

Spring new object Binding Exception: Cannot convert String to long (primitive type)

OS: Windows vista, Framework: Spring (latest), JQuery (latest), Hibernate (latest).
I have a domain class with primary key as long id.
public class domain{
private long id;
....
}
My Controller definition:
#RequestMapping("/domainJqgridData/save")
public #ResponseBody String saveJqgridData(DomainClass domainclass) throws Exception {
return "Saved successfully!";
}
When the JSP form is submitted to add a new DomainClass record, the Spring controller tries to automatically bind the request parameters to domain class. It throws a BindException as follows:
Request processing failed; nested exception is org.springframework.validation.BindException: org.springframework.validation.BeanPropertyBindingResult: 1 errors
Field error in object 'domain' on field 'id': rejected value [_empty]; codes [typeMismatch.domainclass.id,typeMismatch.id,typeMismatch.long,typeMismatch]; arguments [org.springframework.context.support.DefaultMessageSourceResolvable: codes [domainclass.id,id]; arguments []; default message [id]]; default message [Failed to convert property value of type 'java.lang.String' to required type 'long' for property 'id'; nested exception is org.springframework.core.convert.ConversionFailedException: Unable to convert value "_empty" from type 'java.lang.String' to type 'long'; nested exception is java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "_empty"]

javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:717)
org.springframework.web.filter.CharacterEncodingFilter.doFilterInternal(CharacterEncodingFilter.java:88)
As I am adding a new DomainClass record, the id field is passed as null by the JSP form. Spring converts the null id to empty string value for binding purpose and throws the error. I browsed the net and found that I can register custom editors for such purpose. I changed the DomainClass primitive type definition long id, to Long id and tried to bind a custom editor as follows.
Controller class:
#InitBinder
public void initBinder(WebDataBinder binder) {
binder.registerCustomEditor(Long.class, new CustomPrimitiveFormat(Long.class, true));
binder.registerCustomEditor(String.class, new StringTrimmerEditor(true));
}
My custom primitive editor class is as follows:
public class CustomPrimitiveFormat extends CustomNumberEditor{
public CustomPrimitiveFormat(Class numberClass, boolean allowEmpty)
throws IllegalArgumentException {
super(numberClass, allowEmpty);
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}
public void setValue(Object value){
System.out.println("Entered CustomPrimitiveFormat setValue");
if (value == null) {
super.setValue(null);
return;
}
if (value.getClass().equals(String.class)){
if (StringUtils.isEmpty((String)value)){
super.setValue(null);
}
}
}
public void setAsText(Object value){
System.out.println("Entered CustomPrimitiveFormat setAsText");
if (value == null) {
super.setValue(null);
return;
}
if (value.getClass().equals(String.class)){
if (StringUtils.isEmpty((String)value)){
super.setValue(null);
}
}
}
}
I still receive the BindingException. Could not find any link that would guide me through how to overcome Spring BindException when adding a new Domain class record. I would like my primary key to remain primitive type, instead of using the Number object type.
Thanks in advance for your help.
As you can see in the error message, jqGrid uses _empty as an id of the new record (also see here), so you need to change your PropertyEditor to convert _empty to null.
