# Camel-Kafka-connector RabbitMQ Sink

## Introduction

This is an example for Camel-Kafka-connector RabbitMQ

## What is needed

- A RabbitMQ instance

## Running Kafka

```
$KAFKA_HOME/bin/zookeeper-server-start.sh $KAFKA_HOME/config/zookeeper.properties
$KAFKA_HOME/bin/kafka-server-start.sh $KAFKA_HOME/config/server.properties
$KAFKA_HOME/bin/kafka-topics.sh --create --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --replication-factor 1 --partitions 1 --topic mytopic
```

## Setting up the needed bits and running the example

You'll need to setup the plugin.path property in your kafka

Open the `$KAFKA_HOME/config/connect-standalone.properties`

and set the `plugin.path` property to your choosen location

In this example we'll use `/home/oscerd/connectors/`

```
> cd /home/oscerd/connectors/
> wget https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/camel/kafkaconnector/camel-rabbitmq-kafka-connector/0.9.0/camel-rabbitmq-kafka-connector-0.9.0-package.tar.gz
> untar.gz camel-rabbitmq-kafka-connector-0.9.0-package.tar.gz
```

## Setting up RabbitMQ

This examples require a running RabbitMQ instance, for simplicity the steps below show how to start RabbitMQ using Docker. First you'll need to run a RabbitMQ with management instance:

[source,bash]
----
docker run -d --hostname my-rabbit --name some-rabbit rabbitmq:3-management
----

Next, we need to check the address of the container

[source,bash]
----
> docker inspect -f '{{range .NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}}{{end}}' container_id
172.17.0.2
----

In the configuration `.properties` file we use below the IP address of the RabbitMQ master node needs to be configured, replace the value `172.17.0.2` configuration property with the IP of the node obtained from Docker. 

Next through your browser go to http://<address>:15672
and login with the credentials guest/guest

Create a queue called 'queue'.

Now it's time to setup the connectors

Open the RabbitMQ Sink configuration file

```
name=CamelRabbitmqSinkConnector
connector.class=org.apache.camel.kafkaconnector.rabbitmq.CamelRabbitmqSinkConnector
key.converter=org.apache.kafka.connect.storage.StringConverter
value.converter=org.apache.kafka.connect.storage.StringConverter

topics=mytopic

camel.component.rabbitmq.hostname=172.17.0.2
camel.component.rabbitmq.portnumber=5672
camel.sink.path.exchangeName=queue
camel.sink.endpoint.exchangeType=topic
camel.sink.endpoint.autoDelete=false
camel.sink.endpoint.queue=queue
camel.sink.endpoint.routingKey=key
```

Now you can run the example

```
$KAFKA_HOME/bin/connect-standalone.sh $KAFKA_HOME/config/connect-standalone.properties config/CamelRabbitmqSinkConnector.properties
```

On a different terminal run the kafka-producer and you should see messages from Kafka arriving at RabbitMQ

```
bin/kafka-console-producer.sh --topic mytopic --broker-list localhost:9092
>test
>test1
>test2
>test3
```

At this point you should be able to get messages through the management console, so these are the steps needed:

- Go to http://<address>:15672
- Select the Queues tab
- Select the 'queue' Queue
- Select get Messages action
- Browse through the messages
