JetStream 演练

Prerequisite: enabling JetStream

If you are running a local nats-server stop it and restart it with JetStream enabled using nats-server -js (if that's not already done)

You can then check that JetStream is enabled by using

nats account info

1. Creating a stream

Let's start by creating a stream to capture and store the messages published on the subject "foo".

Enter nats stream add <Stream name> (in the examples below we will name the stream "my_stream"), then enter "foo" as the subject name and hit return to use the defaults for all the other stream attributes:

nats stream add my_stream
? Subjects to consume foo
? Storage backend file
? Retention Policy Limits
? Discard Policy Old
? Stream Messages Limit -1
? Per Subject Messages Limit -1
? Message size limit -1
? Maximum message age limit -1
? Maximum individual message size -1
? Duplicate tracking time window 2m
? Replicas 1
Stream my_stream was created

Information for Stream my_stream created 2021-10-12T08:42:10-07:00

Configuration:

             Subjects: foo
     Acknowledgements: true
            Retention: File - Limits
             Replicas: 1
       Discard Policy: Old
     Duplicate Window: 2m0s
     Maximum Messages: unlimited
        Maximum Bytes: unlimited
          Maximum Age: 0.00s
 Maximum Message Size: unlimited
    Maximum Consumers: unlimited


State:

             Messages: 0
                Bytes: 0 B
             FirstSeq: 0
              LastSeq: 0
     Active Consumers: 0

You can then check the information about the stream you just created:

nats stream info my_stream
Information for Stream my_stream created 2021-10-12T08:42:10-07:00

Configuration:

             Subjects: foo
     Acknowledgements: true
            Retention: File - Limits
             Replicas: 1
       Discard Policy: Old
     Duplicate Window: 2m0s
     Maximum Messages: unlimited
        Maximum Bytes: unlimited
          Maximum Age: 0.00s
 Maximum Message Size: unlimited
    Maximum Consumers: unlimited


State:

             Messages: 0
                Bytes: 0 B
             FirstSeq: 0
              LastSeq: 0
     Active Consumers: 0

2. Publish some messages into the stream

Let's now start a publisher

nats pub foo --count=1000 --sleep 1s "publication #{{Count}} @ {{TimeStamp}}"

As messages are being published on the subject "foo" they are also captured and stored in the stream, you can check that by using nats stream info my_stream and even look at the messages themselves using nats stream view my_stream

3. Creating a consumer

Now at this point if you create a 'Core NATS' (i.e. non-streaming) subscriber to listen for messages on the subject 'foo', you will only receive the messages being published after the subscriber was started, this is normal and expected for the basic 'Core NATS' messaging. In order to receive a 'replay' of all the messages contained in the stream (including those that were published in the past) we will now create a 'consumer'

We can administratively create a consumer using the 'nats consumer add ' command, in this example we will name the consumer "pull_consumer", and we will leave the delivery subject to 'nothing' (i.e. just hit return at the prompt) because we are creating a 'pull consumer' and select all for the start policy, you can then just use the defaults and hit return for all the other prompts. The stream the consumer is created on should be the stream 'my_stream' we just created above.

nats consumer add
? Consumer name pull_consumer
? Delivery target (empty for Pull Consumers)
? Start policy (all, new, last, subject, 1h, msg sequence) all
? Replay policy instant
? Filter Stream by subject (blank for all)
? Maximum Allowed Deliveries -1
? Maximum Acknowledgements Pending 0
? Select a Stream my_stream
Information for Consumer my_stream > pull_consumer created 2021-10-12T09:03:26-07:00

Configuration:

        Durable Name: pull_consumer
           Pull Mode: true
      Deliver Policy: All
 Deliver Queue Group: _unset_
          Ack Policy: Explicit
            Ack Wait: 30s
       Replay Policy: Instant
     Max Ack Pending: 20,000
   Max Waiting Pulls: 512

State:

   Last Delivered Message: Consumer sequence: 0 Stream sequence: 0
     Acknowledgment floor: Consumer sequence: 0 Stream sequence: 0
         Outstanding Acks: 0 out of maximum 20000
     Redelivered Messages: 0
     Unprocessed Messages: 674
            Waiting Pulls: 0 of maximum 512

You can check on the status of any consumer at any time using nats consumer info or view the messages in the stream using nats stream view my_stream or even remove individual messages from the stream using nats stream rmm

3. Subscribing from the consumer

Now that the consumer has been created and since there are messages in the stream we can now start subscribing to the consumer:

nats consumer next my_stream pull_consumer --count 1000

This will print out all the messages in the stream starting with the first message (which was published in the past) and continuing with new messages as they are published until the count is reached.

Note that in this example we are creating a pull consumer with a 'durable' name, this means that the consumer can be shared between as many consuming processes as you want. For example instead of running a single nats consumer next with a count of 1000 messages you could have started two instances of nats consumer each with a message count of 500 and you would see the consumption of the messages from the consumer distributed between those instances of nats

Replaying the messages again

Once you have iterated over all the messages in the stream with the consumer, you can get them again by simply creating a new consumer or by deleting that consumer (nats consumer rm) and re-creating it (nats consumer add).

4. Cleaning up

You can clean up a stream (and release the resources associated with it (e.g. the messages stored in the stream)) using nats stream purge

You can also delete a stream (which will also automatically delete all of the consumers that may be defined on that stream) using nats stream rm
