Class ReliableTopicConfig

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    NamedConfig, DataSerializable, IdentifiedDataSerializable

    public class ReliableTopicConfig
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements IdentifiedDataSerializable, NamedConfig
    Configuration for a reliable ITopic.

    The reliable topic makes use of a Ringbuffer to store the actual messages.

    To configure the ringbuffer for a reliable topic, define a ringbuffer in the config with exactly the same name. It is very unlikely that you want to run with the default settings.

    When a ReliableTopic starts, it will always start from the tail+1 item from the RingBuffer. It will not chew its way through all available events but it will wait for the next item being published.

    In the reliable topic, global order is always maintained, so all listeners will observe exactly the same order of sequence of messages.

      • getExecutor

        public java.util.concurrent.Executor getExecutor()
        Gets the Executor that is going to process the events.

        If no Executor is selected, then the ExecutionService.ASYNC_EXECUTOR is used.

        Returns:
        the Executor used to process events
        See Also:
        setExecutor(java.util.concurrent.Executor)
      • setExecutor

        public ReliableTopicConfig setExecutor​(java.util.concurrent.Executor executor)
        Sets the executor that is going to process the event.

        In some cases it is desirable to set a specific executor. For example, you may want to isolate a certain topic from other topics because it contains long running messages or very high priority messages.

        A single executor can be shared between multiple Reliable topics, although it could take more time to process a message. If a single executor is not shared with other reliable topics, then the executor only needs to have a single thread.

        Parameters:
        executor - the executor. if the executor is null, the ExecutionService.ASYNC_EXECUTOR will be used to process the event
        Returns:
        the updated config
      • getReadBatchSize

        public int getReadBatchSize()
        Gets the maximum number of items to read in a batch. Returned value will always be equal or larger than 1.
        Returns:
        the read batch size
      • setReadBatchSize

        public ReliableTopicConfig setReadBatchSize​(int readBatchSize)
        Sets the read batch size.

        The ReliableTopic tries to read a batch of messages from the ringbuffer. It will get at least one, but if there are more available, then it will try to get more to increase throughput. The maximum read batch size can be influenced using the read batch size.

        Apart from influencing the number of messages to retrieve, the readBatchSize also determines how many messages will be processed by the thread running the MessageListener before it returns back to the pool to look for other MessageListeners that need to be processed. The problem with returning to the pool and looking for new work is that interacting with an executor is quite expensive due to contention on the work-queue. The more work that can be done without retuning to the pool, the smaller the overhead.

        If the readBatchSize is 10 and there are 50 messages available, 10 items are retrieved and processed consecutively before the thread goes back to the pool and helps out with the processing of other messages.

        If the readBatchSize is 10 and there are 2 items available, 2 items are retrieved and processed consecutively.

        If the readBatchSize is an issue because a thread will be busy too long with processing a single MessageListener and it can't help out other MessageListeners, increase the size of the threadpool so the other MessageListeners don't need to wait for a thread, but can be processed in parallel.

        Parameters:
        readBatchSize - the maximum number of items to read in a batch
        Returns:
        the updated reliable topic config
        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the readBatchSize is smaller than 1
      • isStatisticsEnabled
