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
openLedgerRereplicationGracePeriod	The grace period, in milliseconds, that the replication worker waits before fencing and replicating a ledger fragment that's still being written to upon bookie failure.	30000
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

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
