I recently wanted to add a new behavior in my project that uses spring-kafka.
The idea is really simple :
- App1 create a new scenario name "SCENARIO_1" and publish this string in the topic "NEW_SCENARIO"
- App1 publish some message on topic "APP2-SCENARIO_1" and "APP3-SCENARIO_1"
- App2 (group-id=app2) listens on NEW_SCENARIO and creates a new consumer<Object,String> listening on a new topic "APP2-SCENARIO_1"
- App3 (group-id=app3) listens on NEW_SCENARIO and creates a new consumer<Object,String> listening on a new topic "APP3-SCENARIO_1"
The goal is to create dynamically new topics and consumer. I cannot use spring kafka annotation since I need it to be dynamic so I did this :
@KafkaListener(topics = ScenarioTopics.NEW_SCENARIO)
public void receive(final String topic) {
logger.info("Get new scenario " + topic + ", creating new consumer");
TopicPartitionOffset topicPartitionOffset = new TopicPartitionOffset(
"APP2_" + topic, 1, 0L);
ContainerProperties containerProps = new ContainerProperties(topicPartitionOffset);
containerProps.setMessageListener((MessageListener<Object, String>) message -> {
// process my message
});
KafkaMessageListenerContainer<Object, String> container = new KafkaMessageListenerContainer<>(kafkaPeopleConsumerFactory, containerProps);
container.start();
}
And this does not work. I'm missing probably something, but I can't figure what.
Here I have some logs that tells me that the leader is not available, which is weird since I got the new scenario event.

How do I create dynamically a kafka consumer on a topic ? I think I do it very wrong, but I searched a lot and really didn't find anything.
