Pulsar configuration
Pulsar configuration can be managed either via a series of configuration files contained in the conf directory of a Pulsar installation
BookKeeper​
BookKeeper is a replicated log storage system that Pulsar uses for durable storage of all messages.
| Name | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| bookiePort | The port on which the bookie server listens. | 3181 |
| allowLoopback | Whether the bookie is allowed to use a loopback interface as its primary interface (i.e. the interface used to establish its identity). By default, loopback interfaces are not allowed as the primary interface. Using a loopback interface as the primary interface usually indicates a configuration error. For example, it’s fairly common in some VPS setups to not configure a hostname or to have the hostname resolve to 127.0.0.1. If this is the case, then all bookies in the cluster will establish their identities as 127.0.0.1:3181 and only one will be able to join the cluster. For VPSs configured like this, you should explicitly set the listening interface. | false |
| listeningInterface | The network interface on which the bookie listens. If not set, the bookie will listen on all interfaces. | eth0 |
| journalDirectory | The directory where Bookkeeper outputs its write-ahead log (WAL) | data/bookkeeper/journal |
| ledgerDirectories | The directory where Bookkeeper outputs ledger snapshots. This could define multiple directories to store snapshots separated by comma, for example ledgerDirectories=/tmp/bk1-data,/tmp/bk2-data. Ideally, ledger dirs and the journal dir are each in a different device, which reduces the contention between random I/O and sequential write. It is possible to run with a single disk, but performance will be significantly lower. | data/bookkeeper/ledgers |
| ledgerManagerType | The type of ledger manager used to manage how ledgers are stored, managed, and garbage collected. See BookKeeper Internals for more info. | hierarchical |
| zkLedgersRootPath | The root ZooKeeper path used to store ledger metadata. This parameter is used by the ZooKeeper-based ledger manager as a root znode to store all ledgers. | /ledgers |
| ledgerStorageClass | Ledger storage implementation class | org.apache.bookkeeper.bookie.storage.ldb.DbLedgerStorage |
| entryLogFilePreallocationEnabled | Enable or disable entry logger preallocation | true |
| logSizeLimit | Max file size of the entry logger, in bytes. A new entry log file will be created when the old one reaches the file size limitation. | 1073741824 |
| minorCompactionThreshold | Threshold of minor compaction. Entry log files whose remaining size percentage reaches below this threshold will be compacted in a minor compaction. If set to less than zero, the minor compaction is disabled. | 0.2 |
| minorCompactionInterval | Time interval to run minor compaction, in seconds. If set to less than zero, the minor compaction is disabled. | 3600 |
| majorCompactionThreshold | The threshold of major compaction. Entry log files whose remaining size percentage reaches below this threshold will be compacted in a major compaction. Those entry log files whose remaining size percentage is still higher than the threshold will never be compacted. If set to less than zero, the minor compaction is disabled. | 0.5 |
| majorCompactionInterval | The time interval to run major compaction, in seconds. If set to less than zero, the major compaction is disabled. | 86400 |
| compactionMaxOutstandingRequests | Sets the maximum number of entries that can be compacted without flushing. When compacting, the entries are written to the entrylog and the new offsets are cached in memory. Once the entrylog is flushed the index is updated with the new offsets. This parameter controls the number of entries added to the entrylog before a flush is forced. A higher value for this parameter means more memory will be used for offsets. Each offset consists of 3 longs. This parameter should not be modified unless you’re fully aware of the consequences. | 100000 |
| compactionRate | The rate at which compaction will read entries, in adds per second. | 1000 |
| isThrottleByBytes | Throttle compaction by bytes or by entries. | false |
| compactionRateByEntries | The rate at which compaction will read entries, in adds per second. | 1000 |
| compactionRateByBytes | Set the rate at which compaction reads entries. The unit is bytes added per second. | 1000000 |
| journalMaxSizeMB | Max file size of journal file, in megabytes. A new journal file will be created when the old one reaches the file size limitation. | 2048 |
| journalMaxBackups | The max number of old journal files to keep. Keeping a number of old journal files would help data recovery in special cases. | 5 |
| journalPreAllocSizeMB | How space to pre-allocate at a time in the journal. | 16 |
| journalWriteBufferSizeKB | The of the write buffers used for the journal. | 64 |
| journalRemoveFromPageCache | Whether pages should be removed from the page cache after force write. | true |
| journalAdaptiveGroupWrites | Whether to group journal force writes, which optimizes group commit for higher throughput. | true |
| journalMaxGroupWaitMSec | The maximum latency to impose on a journal write to achieve grouping. | 1 |
| journalAlignmentSize | All the journal writes and commits should be aligned to given size | 4096 |
| journalBufferedWritesThreshold | Maximum writes to buffer to achieve grouping | 524288 |
| journalFlushWhenQueueEmpty | If we should flush the journal when journal queue is empty | false |
| numJournalCallbackThreads | The number of threads that should handle journal callbacks | 8 |
| rereplicationEntryBatchSize | The number of max entries to keep in fragment for re-replication | 5000 |
| gcWaitTime | How long the interval to trigger next garbage collection, in milliseconds. Since garbage collection is running in background, too frequent gc will heart performance. It is better to give a higher number of gc interval if there is enough disk capacity. | 900000 |
| gcOverreplicatedLedgerWaitTime | How long the interval to trigger next garbage collection of overreplicated ledgers, in milliseconds. This should not be run very frequently since we read the metadata for all the ledgers on the bookie from zk. | 86400000 |
| flushInterval | How long the interval to flush ledger index pages to disk, in milliseconds. Flushing index files will introduce much random disk I/O. If separating journal dir and ledger dirs each on different devices, flushing would not affect performance. But if putting journal dir and ledger dirs on same device, performance degrade significantly on too frequent flushing. You can consider increment flush interval to get better performance, but you need to pay more time on bookie server restart after failure. | 60000 |
| bookieDeathWatchInterval | Interval to watch whether bookie is dead or not, in milliseconds | 1000 |
| zkServers | A list of one of more servers on which zookeeper is running. The server list can be comma separated values, for example: zkServers=zk1:2181,zk2:2181,zk3:2181. | localhost:2181 |
| zkTimeout | ZooKeeper client session timeout in milliseconds Bookie server will exit if it received SESSION_EXPIRED because it was partitioned off from ZooKeeper for more than the session timeout JVM garbage collection, disk I/O will cause SESSION_EXPIRED. Increment this value could help avoiding this issue | 30000 |
| serverTcpNoDelay | This settings is used to enabled/disabled Nagle’s algorithm, which is a means of improving the efficiency of TCP/IP networks by reducing the number of packets that need to be sent over the network. If you are sending many small messages, such that more than one can fit in a single IP packet, setting server.tcpnodelay to false to enable Nagle algorithm can provide better performance. | true |
| openFileLimit | Max number of ledger index files could be opened in bookie server If number of ledger index files reaches this limitation, bookie server started to swap some ledgers from memory to disk. Too frequent swap will affect performance. You can tune this number to gain performance according your requirements. | 0 |
| pageSize | Size of a index page in ledger cache, in bytes A larger index page can improve performance writing page to disk, which is efficient when you have small number of ledgers and these ledgers have similar number of entries. If you have large number of ledgers and each ledger has fewer entries, smaller index page would improve memory usage. | 8192 |
| pageLimit | How many index pages provided in ledger cache If number of index pages reaches this limitation, bookie server starts to swap some ledgers from memory to disk. You can increment this value when you found swap became more frequent. But make sure pageLimit*pageSize should not more than JVM max memory limitation, otherwise you would got OutOfMemoryException. In general, incrementing pageLimit, using smaller index page would gain better performance in lager number of ledgers with fewer entries case If pageLimit is -1, bookie server will use 1/3 of JVM memory to compute the limitation of number of index pages. | 0 |
| readOnlyModeEnabled | If all ledger directories configured are full, then support only read requests for clients. If "readOnlyModeEnabled=true" then on all ledger disks full, bookie will be converted to read-only mode and serve only read requests. Otherwise the bookie will be shutdown. By default this will be disabled. | true |
| diskUsageThreshold | For each ledger dir, maximum disk space which can be used. Default is 0.95f. i.e. 95% of disk can be used at most after which nothing will be written to that partition. If all ledger dir partitions are full, then bookie will turn to readonly mode if ‘readOnlyModeEnabled=true’ is set, else it will shutdown. Valid values should be in between 0 and 1 (exclusive). | 0.95 |
| diskCheckInterval | Disk check interval in milli seconds, interval to check the ledger dirs usage. | 10000 |
| auditorPeriodicCheckInterval | Interval at which the auditor will do a check of all ledgers in the cluster. By default this runs once a week. The interval is set in seconds. To disable the periodic check completely, set this to 0. Note that periodic checking will put extra load on the cluster, so it should not be run more frequently than once a day. | 604800 |
| auditorPeriodicBookieCheckInterval | The interval between auditor bookie checks. The auditor bookie check, checks ledger metadata to see which bookies should contain entries for each ledger. If a bookie which should contain entries is unavailable, thea the ledger containing that entry is marked for recovery. Setting this to 0 disabled the periodic check. Bookie checks will still run when a bookie fails. The interval is specified in seconds. | 86400 |
| numAddWorkerThreads | number of threads that should handle write requests. if zero, the writes would be handled by netty threads directly. | 0 |
| numReadWorkerThreads | number of threads that should handle read requests. if zero, the reads would be handled by netty threads directly. | 8 |
| maxPendingReadRequestsPerThread | If read workers threads are enabled, limit the number of pending requests, to avoid the executor queue to grow indefinitely. | 2500 |
| readBufferSizeBytes | The number of bytes we should use as capacity for BufferedReadChannel. | 4096 |
| writeBufferSizeBytes | The number of bytes used as capacity for the write buffer | 65536 |
| useHostNameAsBookieID | Whether the bookie should use its hostname to register with the coordination service (e.g.: zookeeper service). When false, bookie will use its ipaddress for the registration. | false |
| statsProviderClass | org.apache.bookkeeper.stats.prometheus.PrometheusMetricsProvider | |
| prometheusStatsHttpPort | 8000 | |
| dbStorage_writeCacheMaxSizeMb | Size of Write Cache. Memory is allocated from JVM direct memory. Write cache is used to buffer entries before flushing into the entry log For good performance, it should be big enough to hold a substantial amount of entries in the flush interval. | 25% of direct memory |
| dbStorage_readAheadCacheMaxSizeMb | Size of Read cache. Memory is allocated from JVM direct memory. This read cache is pre-filled doing read-ahead whenever a cache miss happens | 256 |
| dbStorage_readAheadCacheBatchSize | How many entries to pre-fill in cache after a read cache miss | 1000 |
| dbStorage_rocksDB_blockCacheSize | Size of RocksDB block-cache. For best performance, this cache should be big enough to hold a significant portion of the index database which can reach ~2GB in some cases | 268435456 |

ZooKeeper​
ZooKeeper handles a broad range of essential configuration- and coordination-related tasks for Pulsar. The default configuration file for ZooKeeper is in the conf/zookeeper.conf file in your Pulsar installation. The following parameters are available:
| Name | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| tickTime | The tick is the basic unit of time in ZooKeeper, measured in milliseconds and used to regulate things like heartbeats and timeouts. tickTime is the length of a single tick. | 2000 |
| initLimit | The maximum time, in ticks, that the leader ZooKeeper server allows follower ZooKeeper servers to successfully connect and sync. The tick time is set in milliseconds using the tickTime parameter. | 10 |
| syncLimit | The maximum time, in ticks, that a follower ZooKeeper server is allowed to sync with other ZooKeeper servers. The tick time is set in milliseconds using the tickTime parameter. | 5 |
| dataDir | The location where ZooKeeper will store in-memory database snapshots as well as the transaction log of updates to the database. | data/zookeeper |
| clientPort | The port on which the ZooKeeper server will listen for connections. | 2181 |
| autopurge.snapRetainCount | In ZooKeeper, auto purge determines how many recent snapshots of the database stored in dataDir to retain within the time interval specified by autopurge.purgeInterval (while deleting the rest). | 3 |
| autopurge.purgeInterval | The time interval, in hours, by which the ZooKeeper database purge task is triggered. Setting to a non-zero number will enable auto purge; setting to 0 will disable. Read this guide before enabling auto purge. | 1 |
| maxClientCnxns | The maximum number of client connections. Increase this if you need to handle more ZooKeeper clients. | 60 |
In addition to the parameters in the table above, configuring ZooKeeper for Pulsar involves adding
a server.N line to the conf/zookeeper.conf file for each node in the ZooKeeper cluster, where N is the number of the ZooKeeper node. Here's an example for a three-node ZooKeeper cluster:
server.1=zk1.us-west.example.com:2888:3888
server.2=zk2.us-west.example.com:2888:3888
server.3=zk3.us-west.example.com:2888:3888
We strongly recommend consulting the ZooKeeper Administrator's Guide for a more thorough and comprehensive introduction to ZooKeeper configuration
