Building Syndesis platform with Apache Camel snapshot

2 min read

In the last months I worked on Syndesis project. Syndesis is an hybrid integration platform based on Apache Camel. During this time I had the need to build this platform against a Camel Snapshot version to test some new features I added into the Apache Camel project and it wasn’t truly easy. Adding the possibility to build the platform against different Camel snapshots and versions can be very useful to test Camel master and also to have an idea of how new/updated Camel components behave in this platform. I think it would be useful for end users too.

Normal Workflow

Building Syndesis platform is not super easy at first sight, but it’s very well documented and complete.

> syndesis/tools/bin$ ./syndesis build --help
Run Syndesis builds

Usage: syndesis build [... options ...]

Options for build:
-b  --backend                 Build only backend modules (core, extension, integration, connectors, server, meta)
    --images                  Build only modules with Docker images (ui, server, meta, s2i)
-m  --module <m1>,<m2>, ..    Build modules
                              Modules: ui, server, connector, s2i, meta, integration, extension, common
-d  --dependencies            Build also all project the specified module depends on
    --skip-tests              Skip unit and system test execution
    --skip-checks             Disable all checks
-f  --flash                   Skip checks and tests execution (fastest mode)
-i  --image-mode  <mode>      <mode> can be
                              - "none"      : No images are build (default)
                              - "openshift" : Build for OpenShift image streams
                              - "docker"    : Build against a plain Docker daemon
                              - "auto"      : Automatically detect whether to use
                                              "openshift" or "docker"
    --docker                  == --image-mode docker
    --openshift               == --image-mode openshift
-p  --project <project>       Specifies the project to create images in when using '--openshift'
-k  --kill-pods               Kill pods after the image has been created.
                              Useful when building with image-mode docker
-c  --clean                   Run clean builds (mvn clean)
    --batch-mode              Run mvn in batch mode
    --camel-snapshot          Run a build with a specific Camel snapshot. You'll need to set an environment variable CAMEL_SNAPSHOT_VERSION with the SNAPSHOT version you want to use.
    --man                     Open HTML documentation in the Syndesis Developer Handbook

I use Minishift to play with Syndesis and my normal workflow is the following: First I spin up a Minishift instance

> minishift start --memory 8384

You could need to specify a vm-driver too with the –vm-driver flag.

Then I set the docker environment coming from Minishift

> eval $(minishift docker-env)

At this point I’m able to build

> syndesis/tools/bin$ ./syndesis build --openshift --clean

Once the build it’s done (it may take a while) we are able to deploy Syndesis platform on Minishift

> syndesis/tools/bin$ ./syndesis minishift --install --openshift

Once the deployment is finished we are able to start using Syndesis platform.

Building with a Camel Snapshot

The option you’ll need in this case will be –camel-snapshot, in combination with an environment variable called CAMEL_SNAPSHOT_VERSION. In my case I need to test a new feature in a component from Camel 2.21.2-SNAPSHOT. The workflow to obtain a running Syndesis instance based on Camel 2.21.2-SNAPSHOT is the following (supposing you have a running Minishift). I built Camel 2.21.2-SNAPSHOT locally before following these steps.

Set the docker environment coming from Minishift

> eval $(minishift docker-env)

Export CAMEL_SNAPSHOT_VERSION environment variable

> export CAMEL_SNAPSHOT_VERSION="2.21.2-SNAPSHOT"

Run a Syndesis build with –camel-snapshot flag enabled

> syndesis/tools/bin$ ./syndesis build --openshift --clean --camel-snapshot

Once the build finished, you can deploy your Syndesis on Minishift

> syndesis/tools/bin$ ./syndesis minishift --install --openshift

This is all you need to test a Syndesis platform based on Camel snapshot.

Conclusion

In the future I’ll blog about the Syndesis platform a bit more. If you want to contribute you can start from the Github project, the site or an extension.

Introducing Infinispan-Kafka, connect your Kafka cluster with Infinispan

19 min read

In the last couple of months I worked on a side project: Infinispan-Kafka. This project is based on the Kafka Connect tool: Kafka Connect is a tool for streaming data between Apache Kafka and other systems. There are two sides where data can be streamed: from Kafka to a different system (Sink Connector) and from a different system to Kafka (Source Connector). The Infinispan Kafka project implements only the Sink Connector (for the moment).

Basic Idea

In Infinispan, through the Protostream and Infinispan Remote Querying an end-user is able to remote querying Infinispan in a language-neutral manner, by using Protobuf. The Infinispan client must be configured to use a dedicated marshaller, ProtoStreamMarshaller and this one will use the ProtoStream library for encoding objects. ProtoStream library has to be instructed on how to marshall the message types, here is the documentation.

So the idea behind the Infinispan-Kafka project is to use the Protostream library and the ProtoStreamMarshaller to define what kind of data can be saved in Infinispan cache from Kafka and let Infinispan manage the marshalling/storing, creating a contract between Infinispan and Kafka.

The Infinispan-Kafka connector use the following configuration properties (for the moment):

Name Description Type Default Importance
infinispan.connection.hosts List of comma separated Infinispan hosts string localhost high
infinispan.connection.hotrod.port Infinispan Hot Rod port int 11222 high
infinispan.connection.cache.name Infinispan Cache name of use String default medium
infinispan.use.proto If true, the Remote Cache Manager will be configured to use protostream schemas boolean false medium
infinispan.proto.marshaller.class If infinispan.use.proto is true, this option has to contain an annotated protostream class to be used Class String.class medium
infinispan.cache.force.return.values By default, previously existing values for Map operations are not returned, if set to true the values will be returned boolean false low

an example of annotated protostream class is the following

package org.infinispan.kafka;

import java.io.Serializable;

import org.infinispan.protostream.annotations.ProtoDoc;
import org.infinispan.protostream.annotations.ProtoField;

@ProtoDoc("@Indexed")
public class Author implements Serializable {

   private String name;

   @ProtoField(number = 1, required = true)
   public String getName() {
      return name;
   }

   public void setName(String name) {
      this.name = name;
   }

   @Override
   public String toString() {
      return "Author [name=" + name + "]";
   }
}

A running example

Lets see how the connector works in a real example. You’ll need:

  • Infinispan server 9.1.0.Final
  • Kafka 0.11.0.0 running

and these three projects

  • https://github.com/oscerd/infinispan-kafka-demo
  • https://github.com/oscerd/infinispan-kafka-producer
  • https://github.com/oscerd/camel-infinispan-kafka-demo

But, since infinispan-kafka is not yet released, you’ll need to build the project to have it available in your Local Maven repository.

So fork or clone the Infinispan-Kafka project and run

> mvn clean install

Now lets see what is inside the different projects.

The Infinispan-kafka demo

In the repository you’ll find a properties file for the Infinispan-Kafka sink connector and a Protostream annotated class named Author.

The configuration is the following:

name=InfinispanSinkConnector
topics=test
tasks.max=1
connector.class=org.infinispan.kafka.InfinispanSinkConnector
key.converter=org.apache.kafka.connect.storage.StringConverter
value.converter=org.apache.kafka.connect.storage.StringConverter

infinispan.connection.hosts=127.0.0.1
infinispan.connection.hotrod.port=11222
infinispan.connection.cache.name=default
infinispan.cache.force.return.values=true
infinispan.use.proto=true
infinispan.proto.marshaller.class=org.infinispan.kafka.Author

We will use the topic test from our Kafka cluster

The Infinispan-kafka producer

In this project we define a Simple Producer that will send record to our Kafka cluster in the topic test. We will send five record of Author.

The Camel-infispan-kafka demo

In this project we define a Standalone camel route. This route will run every 10 seconds and it will query the Infinispan cache with a Remote Query defined here.

Run the example now!

Now that we have a full view of this demo we can run it!

Let’s start from the servers.

First we need to start the Infinispan server, in this case in standalone mode.

Next we need to start our Kafka server, as always we’ll need to start zookeeper first and then the server.

>kafka_2.12-0.11.0.0$ bin/zookeeper-server-start.sh config/zookeeper.properties
[2017-07-31 11:38:55,401] INFO Reading configuration from: config/zookeeper.properties (org.apache.zookeeper.server.quorum.QuorumPeerConfig)

.
.
.
.

And the server

>kafka_2.12-0.11.0.0$ bin/kafka-server-start.sh config/server.properties
[2017-07-31 11:40:31,244] INFO KafkaConfig values:

	auto.leader.rebalance.enable = true
	background.threads = 10
	broker.id = 0
	broker.id.generation.enable = true
	broker.rack = null
	compression.type = producer
	connections.max.idle.ms = 600000
	controlled.shutdown.enable = true

	create.topic.policy.class.name = null
	default.replication.factor = 1
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

Next we’ll need to create a new topic named test.

>kafka_2.12-0.11.0.0$ bin/kafka-topics.sh --create --zookeeper localhost:2181 --replication-factor 1 --partitions 1 --topic test
Created topic "test".

The servers are now up and running. At this point we need to start the Infinispan-Kafka connector demo.

As you may see the Infinispan Cache has been populated with the data coming from Kafka topic test.

Conclusion

This blog post introduces the new Infinispan-Kafka connector and show a little demo involving, Kafka, Infinispan and Camel. Obviously there is so much more work to do on the connector and contributions are more than welcome. Follow the developments on the Github repo.

Cryptographic Pills Episode 1 - Modern Cryptography

3 min read

In the last days I started to look at the Cryptography’s Theory again. I guess it’s an interesting subject for anyone involved in the IT world: for developers and security specialists understand some key concepts is essential to manage particular scenarios. Yesterday there was the Google’s announce about the first SHA-1 collision: hash functions will be in one of the articles I currently have in mind. I’ll try to write about Cryptographic pills in episodes and I hope you’ll appreciate the subject. Let’s start!

In the beginning

Until the late 20th century Cryptography was considered an art form. Constructing good codes, breaking existing ones and be able to understand the algorithm behind a code relies on creativity and personal skill. There wasn’t so much theory around the subject. With the Cryptography’s spread in areas different from Military and Defense the whole picture radically changed: a rich theory and rigorous study made the Cryptography an applied Science. Today Cryptography is everywhere.

Private-key Encryption

Cryptography was historically concerned with secret communications. In the past we were talking about ciphers, today we talk about encryption schemes: the concepts are the same. Two parts want to communicate in a secret manner and they decide to use a particular encryption scheme. An assumption in this scenario is that the communicating parties must have a way to initially sharing a key in a secret manner.

A private-key Encryption scheme is based on three algorithms [1]:

  1. A Key-generation algorithm Gen is a probabilistic algorithm that outputs a key k chosen according to some distribution that is determined by the scheme.
  2. The Encryption Algorithm Enc takes as input a key k and a plaintext message m and outputs a cyphertext c. We denote by the encryption of the plaintext m using the key k in the following way
$$Enc_k(m)$$
  1. The Decryption Algorithm Dec takes as input a key k and a cyphertext message c and outputs a plaintext m. We denote by the decryption of the cyphertext c using the key k in the following way
$$Dec_k(c)$$
  • The set of all possible keys generated by the Gen algorithm is denoted as K and it is called the Key Space.
  • The set of all “legal” messages (supported by the Encryption Algorithm Enc) is denoted as M and it is called the Message Space.
  • Since any Cyphertext is obtained by encrypting some plaintext under some key, the sets K and M together define a set of all possible Cyphertexts denoted with C.

Kerckhoffs’s principle

From the definitions above it’s clear that if an eavesdropping adversary knows the Dec algorithm and the chosen key k, he will be able to decrypt the messages exchanged between the two communicating parts. The key must be secret and this is a fundamental point, but do we need to maintain secret the Encryption and Decryption algorithms too? In the late 19th century August Kerckhoffs gave his opinion:

The cipher method must not be required to be secret, and it must be able to fall in the hands of the enemy without incovenience

It’s something related to Open Source and Open Standards too. Today any Encryption Scheme is usually demanded to be made public. The main reasons for this can be summarized in the following points:

  1. The public scrutiny make the design stronger.
  2. If flaws exist it can be found by someone hacking on the scheme
  3. Public design enables the establishment of standards.

The Kerckhoffs’ principle is obvious, but in same cases it was ignored with disastrous results. Only publicly tried and tested algorithm should be used by organizations. Kerchoffs was one of the first person with an Open vision about these things.

What’s next

In the next articles I would like to talk about the theory behind the Cryptographic schemes strenght. How we can say a scheme is secure? What are the attack scenarios? What is the definition of a secure scheme?

Using Camel-cassandraql on a Kubernetes Cassandra cluster with Fabric8

5 min read

In the last months I blogged about Testing Camel-cassandraql on a Dockerized cluster. This time I’d like to show you a similar example running on Kubernetes. I’ve worked on a fabric8 quickstart splitted in two different projects: Cassandra server and Cassandra client. The server will spin up a Cassandra cluster with three nodes and the client will run a camel-cassandraql route querying the keyspace in the Cluster. You’ll need a running Kubernetes cluster to follow this example. I decided to use Fabric8 on Minikube, but you can also try to run the example using Fabric8 on Minishift. Once you have your environment is up and running you can start to execute the following sections commands.

Spinning up an Apache Cassandra cluster on Kubernetes

For this post we will use Kubernetes to spin up our Apache Cassandra Cluster. To start the cluster you can use the Fabric8 IPaas Cassandra app. Since we are using Minikube, you’ll need to follow the related instructions.

This project will spin up a Cassandra Cluster with three nodes.

As first step, in the cassandra folder, we will need to run

mvn clean install

and

mvn fabric8:deploy

Once we’re done with this commands we can watch the Kubernetes pods state for our specific app and after a while we should be able to see our pods running:

oscerd@localhost:~/workspace/fabric8-universe/fabric8-ipaas/cassandra$ kubectl get pods -l app=cassandra --watch
NAME                         READY     STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
cassandra-2459930792-lfh93   1/1       Running   0          15s
cassandra-2459930792-m8c9p   1/1       Running   0          15s
cassandra-2459930792-zxiv3   1/1       Running   0          15s

I usually prefer the command line, but you can also watch the status of your pods on the wonderful Fabric8 Console and with Minikube/Minishift is super easy to access the console, simply run the following command:

minikube service fabric8

or on Minishift

minishift service fabric8

In Apache Cassandra nodetool is one of the most important command to manage a Cluster and executing command on single node.

It is interesting to look at the way the Kubernetes team developed the Seeds discovery into them Cassandra example. The class to look at is KubernetesSeedProvider and it implements the SeedProvider interface from Apache Cassandra project. The getSeeds method is implemented here: if the KubernetesSeedProvider is unable to find seeds it will fall back to createDefaultSeeds method that is exactly the simpleSeedProvider implementation from Apache Cassandra Project.

The Kubenertes-cassandra jar is used in the Cassandra DockerFile from Google example and it is added to the classpath in the run.sh script.

In the Cassandra fabric8-ipaas project we used the deployment.yml and service.yml configuration. You can find the details in the repository. You can also scale up/down your cluster with this simple command:

kubectl scale --replicas=2 deployment/cassandra

and after a while you’ll see the scaled deployment:

oscerd@localhost:~/workspace/fabric8-universe/fabric8-ipaas/cassandrakubectl get pods -l app=cassandra --watch
NAME                         READY     STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
cassandra-2459930792-lfh93   1/1       Running   0          28m
cassandra-2459930792-m8c9p   1/1       Running   0          28m

Our cluster is up and running now and we can run our camel-cassandraql route from Cassandra client.

Running the Cassandra-client Fabric8 Quickstart

In Fabric8 Quickstarts organization I’ve added a little Cassandra-client example. The route will do a simple query on the keyspace we’ve just created on our Cluster. This quickstart requires Camel 2.18.0 release to work fine, now that 2.18.0 is out we can cover the example. The quickstart will first execute a bean to pre-populate the Cassandra keyspace as init-method and it defines a main route. It’s a very simple quickstart (single query/print result set), but it shows how it is easy to interact with the Cassandra Cluster. You don’t have to add contact points of single nodes to your Cassandra endpoint URI or use a complex configuration, you can simply use the service name (“cassandra”) and Kubernetes will do the work for you.

You can run the example with:

mvn clean install
mvn fabric8:run

You should be able to see your cassandra-client running:

oscerd@localhost:~/workspace/fabric8-universe/fabric8-quickstarts/cassandra-client$ kubectl get pods
NAME                                      READY     STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
cassandra-2459930792-lfh93                1/1       Running   0          45m
cassandra-2459930792-m8c9p                1/1       Running   0          45m
cassandra-2459930792-ms265                1/1       Running   0          15m
cassandra-client-3789635050-e1f2g         1/1       Running   0          1m

With the fabric8:run command you’ll see the logs of the application in the console directly:

As you can see everything is straightforward and you can think about more complex architectures. For example: an Infinispan cache with a persisted cache store based on Apache Cassandra Cluster with Java application, Camel routes or Spring-boot applications interacting with the Infinispan platform.

The route of the example is super simple:

  <camelContext xmlns="http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring" depends-on="populate">
    <route id="cassandra-route">
      <from uri="timer:foo?period=5000"/>
      <to uri="cql://cassandra/test?cql=select * from users;&amp;consistencyLevel=quorum" />
      <log message="Query result set ${body}"/>
    </route>

  </camelContext>

and it abstracts completely the details of the Cassandra cluster (how many nodes? Where are the nodes? What are the addresses of them? and so on).

Conclusions

This example shows only a bit of the power of Kubernetes/Openshift/Fabric8/Microservices world and in the future I would like to create a complex architecture quickstart. Stay tuned!

Apache Camel 2.18.0 release, what is coming

3 min read

The Camel community is actually in the process of releasing the new Apache Camel 2.18.0. This is a big release with a lot of new features and new components. Lets take a deeper look at what is coming.

  • Java 8

    This is the first release requiring Java 8. We worked hard on this and we are working on Java 8 code style in the codebase.

  • Automatic Documentation

    In Apache Camel 2.18.0 you’ll find new documentation. The components, endpoints, dataformats and languages are now documented completely in automatic way. This is important because in the past the Confluence documentation was often misaligned with respect to the codebase. The documentation is generated, if some modification has been done, during the component/endpoint/dataformat/language build. This feature will be the base for a new website including this material. You can see the generated docs in the camel-website folder in the Apache Camel Repository.

  • Spring-boot and Wildfly-Swarm support

    Camel is now present on the Spring-starter site and on the Wildfly-swarm one. All the new feature related to Spring-boot can be found in the article from Nicola Ferraro’s blog Apache Camel meets Spring-boot. Running Camel on Spring-boot has never been so easy.

  • Hystrix Circuit Breaker and Netflix OSS

    This release will have a circuit breaker implementation using the Netflix Hystrix project (with dashboard too).

  • Distributed message tracing with camel-zipkin component

    This component is used for tracing and timing incoming and outgoing Camel messages using Zipkin. For more information take a look at the documentation or the Asciidoc file in the Apache Camel repository.

  • Service Call

    This provide the feature of calling a remote service in a distributed system where the service is looked up from a service registry of some sorts. Camel won’t need to know where the service is hosted. Camel will lookup the service from from kubernetes, openshift, cloud foundry, zuul, consul, zookeeper etc.

  • New components

    • camel-asterisk - For interacting with Asterisk PBX Servers
    • camel-cm-sms - For sending SMS messages using SM SMS Gateway.
    • camel-consul - For integrating your application with Consul.
    • camel-ehcache - For interacting with Ehcache 3 cache.
    • camel-flink - Bridges Camel connectors with Apache Flink tasks.
    • camel-lumberjack - For receiving logs over the lumberjack protocol (used by Filebeat for instance)
    • camel-ribbon - To use Netflixx Ribbon with the Service Call EIP.
    • camel-servicenow - For cloud management with ServiceNow.
    • camel-telegram - For messaging with Telegram.
    • camel-zipkin - For tracking Camel message flows/timings using zipkin.
    • camel-chronicle - For interacting with OpenHFT’s Chronicle-Engine.

  • New Dataformats

    • camel-johnzon - Apache Johnzon is an implementation of JSR-353 (JavaTM API for JSON Processing).

  • New examples

    In this release there will be some new examples. To name a few:

    • camel-example-cdi-kubernetes - An example of camel-kubernetes component used to retrieve a list of pod from your Kubernetes cluster. The example is CDI-based.
