Debezium MongoDB Connector

Since Camel 3.0

Only consumer is supported

The Debezium MongoDB component is wrapper around Debezium using Debezium Engine, which enables Change Data Capture from MongoDB database using Debezium without the need for Kafka or Kafka Connect.

The Debezium MongoDB connector uses MongoDB’s oplog to capture the changes. The connector works only with the MongoDB replica sets or with sharded clusters, where each shard is a separate replica set. Therefore, you will need to have your MongoDB instance running either in replica set mode or sharded clusters mode.

Note on handling failures: per Debezium Embedded Engine documentation, the engines are actively recording source offsets and periodically flush these offsets to a persistent storage. Therefore, when the application is restarted or crashed, the engine will resume from the last recorded offset. This means that, at normal operation, your downstream routes will receive each event exactly once. However, in case of an application crash (not having a graceful shutdown), the application will resume from the last recorded offset, which may result in receiving duplicate events immediately after the restart. Therefore, your downstream routes should be tolerant enough of such a case and deduplicate events if needed.

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

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-debezium-mongodb</artifactId>
    <version>x.x.x</version>
    <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>

Configuring Options

Camel components are configured on two separate levels:

  • component level

  • endpoint level

Configuring Component Options

At the component level, you set general and shared configurations that are, then, inherited by the endpoints. It is the highest configuration level.

For example, a component may have security settings, credentials for authentication, urls for network connection and so forth.

Some components only have a few options, and others may have many. Because components typically have pre-configured defaults that are commonly used, then you may often only need to configure a few options on a component; or none at all.

You can configure components using:

  • the Component DSL.

  • in a configuration file (application.properties, *.yaml files, etc).

  • directly in the Java code.

Configuring Endpoint Options

You usually spend more time setting up endpoints because they have many options. These options help you customize what you want the endpoint to do. The options are also categorized into whether the endpoint is used as a consumer (from), as a producer (to), or both.

Configuring endpoints is most often done directly in the endpoint URI as path and query parameters. You can also use the Endpoint DSL and DataFormat DSL as a type safe way of configuring endpoints and data formats in Java.

A good practice when configuring options is to use Property Placeholders.

Property placeholders provide a few benefits:

  • They help prevent using hardcoded urls, port numbers, sensitive information, and other settings.

  • They allow externalizing the configuration from the code.

  • They help the code to become more flexible and reusable.

The following two sections list all the options, firstly for the component followed by the endpoint.

Component Options

The Debezium MongoDB Connector component supports 67 options, which are listed below.

Name Description Default Type

additionalProperties (common)

Additional properties for debezium components in case they can’t be set directly on the camel configurations (e.g: setting Kafka Connect properties needed by Debezium engine, for example setting KafkaOffsetBackingStore), the properties have to be prefixed with additionalProperties.. E.g: additionalProperties.transactional.id=12345&additionalProperties.schema.registry.url=http://localhost:8811/avro.

Map

bridgeErrorHandler (consumer)

Allows for bridging the consumer to the Camel routing Error Handler, which mean any exceptions (if possible) occurred while the Camel consumer is trying to pickup incoming messages, or the likes, will now be processed as a message and handled by the routing Error Handler. Important: This is only possible if the 3rd party component allows Camel to be alerted if an exception was thrown. Some components handle this internally only, and therefore bridgeErrorHandler is not possible. In other situations we may improve the Camel component to hook into the 3rd party component and make this possible for future releases. By default the consumer will use the org.apache.camel.spi.ExceptionHandler to deal with exceptions, that will be logged at WARN or ERROR level and ignored.

The message body if is not null (in case of tombstones), it contains the state of the row after the event occurred as String JSON format, and you can unmarshal using Camel JSON Data Format.

Samples

Consuming events

Here is a basic route that you can use to listen to Debezium events from MongoDB connector:

from("debezium-mongodb:dbz-test-1?offsetStorageFileName=/usr/offset-file-1.dat&mongodbHosts=rs0/localhost:27017&mongodbUser=debezium&mongodbPassword=dbz&mongodbName=dbserver1&databaseHistoryFileFilename=/usr/history-file-1.dat")
    .log("Event received from Debezium : ${body}")
    .log("    with this identifier ${headers.CamelDebeziumIdentifier}")
    .log("    with these source metadata ${headers.CamelDebeziumSourceMetadata}")
    .log("    the event occurred upon this operation '${headers.CamelDebeziumSourceOperation}'")
    .log("    on this database '${headers.CamelDebeziumSourceMetadata[db]}' and this table '${headers.CamelDebeziumSourceMetadata[table]}'")
    .log("    with the key ${headers.CamelDebeziumKey}")
    .choice()
        .when(header(DebeziumConstants.HEADER_OPERATION).in("c", "u", "r"))
            .unmarshal().json()
            .log("Event received from Debezium : ${body}")
         .end()
    .end();

By default, the component will emit the events in the body String JSON format in case of u, c or r operations. This can be easily converted to JSON using Camel JSON Data Format e.g.: .unmarshal().json() like the above example. In case of operation d, the body will be null.

This component is a thin wrapper around Debezium Engine as mentioned. Therefore, before using this component in production, you need to understand how Debezium works and how configurations can reflect the expected behavior. This is especially true in regard to handling failures.

Spring Boot Auto-Configuration

When using debezium-mongodb 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-debezium-mongodb-starter</artifactId>
  <version>x.x.x</version>
  <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>

The component supports 68 options, which are listed below.

Name Description Default Type

camel.component.debezium-mongodb.additional-properties

Additional properties for debezium components in case they can’t be set directly on the camel configurations (e.g: setting Kafka Connect properties needed by Debezium engine, for example setting KafkaOffsetBackingStore), the properties have to be prefixed with additionalProperties.. E.g: additionalProperties.transactional.id=12345&additionalProperties.schema.registry.url=http://localhost:8811/avro.

Map

camel.component.debezium-mongodb.autowired-enabled

Whether autowiring is enabled. This is used for automatic autowiring options (the option must be marked as autowired) by looking up in the registry to find if there is a single instance of matching type, which then gets configured on the component. This can be used for automatic configuring JDBC data sources, JMS connection factories, AWS Clients, etc.

true

Boolean

camel.component.debezium-mongodb.bridge-error-handler

Allows for bridging the consumer to the Camel routing Error Handler, which mean any exceptions (if possible) occurred while the Camel consumer is trying to pickup incoming messages, or the likes, will now be processed as a message and handled by the routing Error Handler. Important: This is only possible if the 3rd party component allows Camel to be alerted if an exception was thrown. Some components handle this internally only, and therefore bridgeErrorHandler is not possible. In other situations we may improve the Camel component to hook into the 3rd party component and make this possible for future releases. By default the consumer will use the org.apache.camel.spi.ExceptionHandler to deal with exceptions, that will be logged at WARN or ERROR level and ignored.

false
