aws-msk://label[?options]

You can append query options to the URI in the following format, ?options=value&option2=value&…

URI Options

The AWS Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (MSK) component supports 11 options, which are listed below.

Name	Description	Default	Type
accessKey (producer)	Amazon AWS Access Key		String
configuration (producer)	The component configuration		MSKConfiguration
lazyStartProducer (producer)	Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel’s routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing.	false	boolean
mskClient (producer)	To use a existing configured AWS MSK as client		AWSKafka
operation (producer)	Required The operation to perform. The value can be one of: listClusters, createCluster, deleteCluster, describeCluster		MSKOperations
proxyHost (producer)	To define a proxy host when instantiating the MSK client		String
proxyPort (producer)	To define a proxy port when instantiating the MSK client		Integer
proxyProtocol (producer)	To define a proxy protocol when instantiating the MSK client. The value can be one of: HTTP, HTTPS	HTTPS	Protocol
region (producer)	The region in which MSK client needs to work. When using this parameter, the configuration will expect the capitalized name of the region (for example AP_EAST_1) You’ll need to use the name Regions.EU_WEST_1.name()		String
secretKey (producer)	Amazon AWS Secret Key		String
basicPropertyBinding (advanced)	Whether the component should use basic property binding (Camel 2.x) or the newer property binding with additional capabilities	false	boolean

Usage

Message headers evaluated by the MSK producer

Header Type Description

Header	Type	Description
`CamelAwsMSKOperation`	`String`	The operation to perform
`CamelAwsMSKClusterFilter`	`String`	The cluster name filter for list operation
`CamelAwsMSKClusterName`	`String`	The cluster name for list and create operation
`CamelAwsMSKClusterArn`	`String`	The cluster arn for delete operation
`CamelAwsMSKClusterKafkaVersion`	`String`	The Kafka for the cluster during create operation
`CamelAwsMSKBrokerNodesNumber`	`Integer`	The number of nodes for the cluster during create operation
`CamelAwsMSKBrokerNodesGroupInfo`	`com.amazonaws.services.kafka.model.BrokerNodeGroupInfo`	The Broker nodes group info to provide during the create operation

CamelAwsMSKOperation

String

The operation to perform

CamelAwsMSKClusterFilter

String

The cluster name filter for list operation

CamelAwsMSKClusterName

String

The cluster name for list and create operation

CamelAwsMSKClusterArn

String

The cluster arn for delete operation

CamelAwsMSKClusterKafkaVersion

String

The Kafka for the cluster during create operation

CamelAwsMSKBrokerNodesNumber

Integer

The number of nodes for the cluster during create operation

CamelAwsMSKBrokerNodesGroupInfo

com.amazonaws.services.kafka.model.BrokerNodeGroupInfo

The Broker nodes group info to provide during the create operation

MSK Producer operations

Camel-AWS MSK component provides the following operation on the producer side:

listClusters
createCluster
deleteCluster
describeCluster

Producer Examples

listBrokers: this operation will list the available MSK Brokers in AWS

from("direct:listClusters")
    .to("aws-msk://test?mskClient=#amazonMskClient&operation=listClusters")

Automatic detection of AWSKafka client in registry

The component is capable of detecting the presence of an AWSKafka bean into the registry. If it’s the only instance of that type it will be used as client and you won’t have to define it as uri parameter. This may be really useful for smarter configuration of the endpoint.

Dependencies

Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml.

pom.xml

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-aws-msk</artifactId>
    <version>${camel-version}</version>
</dependency>

where ${camel-version} must be replaced by the actual version of Camel.

Spring Boot Auto-Configuration

When using aws-msk with Spring Boot make sure to use the following Maven dependency to have support for auto configuration:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId>
  <artifactId>camel-aws-msk-starter</artifactId>
  <version>x.x.x</version>
  <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>
