kafka streams exception Could not find a public no-argument constructor for org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.Serdes$WrapperSerde

Question

getting the below error stack trace while working with kafka streams

UPDATE: as per @matthias-j-sax, have implemented my own Serdes with default constructor for WrapperSerde but still getting the following exceptions

org.apache.kafka.streams.errors.StreamsException: stream-thread [streams-request-count-4c239508-6abe-4901-bd56-d53987494770-StreamThread-1] Failed to rebalance.

Here's my usecase:

I will be getting json responses as input to the stream, I want to count requests whose status codes are not 200. Initially, I went through the documentation of kafka streams in official documentation as well as confluent, then implemented WordCountDemo which is working very fine, then I tried to wrote this code, but getting this exception, I am very new to kafka streams, I went through the stack trace, but couldn't understood the context, hence came here for help!!!

Here's my code

LogCount.java

package myapps;

import java.util.Properties;
import java.util.concurrent.CountDownLatch;

import org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.Serde;
import org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.Serdes;
import org.apache.kafka.streams.KafkaStreams;
import org.apache.kafka.streams.StreamsBuilder;
import org.apache.kafka.streams.StreamsConfig;
import org.apache.kafka.streams.Topology;
import org.apache.kafka.streams.kstream.KStream;
import org.apache.kafka.streams.kstream.Produced;
import myapps.serializer.JsonDeserializer;
import myapps.serializer.JsonSerializer;
import myapps.Request;


public class LogCount {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Properties props = new Properties();
        props.put(StreamsConfig.APPLICATION_ID_CONFIG, "streams-request-count");
        props.put(StreamsConfig.BOOTSTRAP_SERVERS_CONFIG, "localhost:9092");
        JsonSerializer<Request> requestJsonSerializer = new JsonSerializer<>();
        JsonDeserializer<Request> requestJsonDeserializer = new JsonDeserializer<>(Request.class);
        Serde<Request> requestSerde = Serdes.serdeFrom(requestJsonSerializer, requestJsonDeserializer);
        props.put(StreamsConfig.DEFAULT_KEY_SERDE_CLASS_CONFIG, Serdes.String().getClass().getName());
        props.put(StreamsConfig.DEFAULT_VALUE_SERDE_CLASS_CONFIG, requestSerde.getClass().getName());
        final StreamsBuilder builder = new StreamsBuilder();

        KStream<String, Request> source = builder.stream("streams-requests-input");
        source.filter((k, v) -> v.getHttpStatusCode() != 200)
                .groupByKey()
                .count()
                .toStream()
                .to("streams-requests-output", Produced.with(Serdes.String(), Serdes.Long()));
        final Topology topology = builder.build();
        final KafkaStreams streams = new KafkaStreams(topology, props);
        final CountDownLatch latch = new CountDownLatch(1);

        System.out.println(topology.describe());
        // attach shutdown handler to catch control-c
        Runtime.getRuntime().addShutdownHook(new Thread("streams-shutdown-hook") {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                streams.close();
                latch.countDown();
            }
        });

        try {
            streams.cleanUp();
            streams.start();
            latch.await();
        } catch (Throwable e) {
            System.exit(1);
        }
        System.exit(0);
    }
}

JsonDeserializer.java

package myapps.serializer;

import com.google.gson.Gson;
import org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.Deserializer;
import java.util.Map;

public class JsonDeserializer<T> implements Deserializer<T> {

    private Gson gson = new Gson();
    private Class<T> deserializedClass;

    public JsonDeserializer(Class<T> deserializedClass) {
        this.deserializedClass = deserializedClass;
    }

    public JsonDeserializer() {
    }

    @Override
    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    public void configure(Map<String, ?> map, boolean b) {
        if(deserializedClass == null) {
            deserializedClass = (Class<T>) map.get("serializedClass");
        }
    }

    @Override
    public T deserialize(String s, byte[] bytes) {
         if(bytes == null){
             return null;
         }

         return gson.fromJson(new String(bytes),deserializedClass);

    }

    @Override
    public void close() {

    }
}

JsonSerializer.java

package myapps.serializer;

import com.google.gson.Gson;
import org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.Serializer;

import java.nio.charset.Charset;
import java.util.Map;

public class JsonSerializer<T> implements Serializer<T> {

    private Gson gson = new Gson();

    @Override
    public void configure(Map<String, ?> map, boolean b) {

    }

    @Override
    public byte[] serialize(String topic, T t) {
        return gson.toJson(t).getBytes(Charset.forName("UTF-8"));
    }

    @Override
    public void close() {

    }
}

As I mentioned, I will be getting JSON as input, the structure is like this,

{
"RequestID":"1f6b2409", "Protocol":"http", "Host":"abc.com", "Method":"GET", "HTTPStatusCode":"200", "User-Agent":"curl%2f7.54.0", }

The corresponding Request.java file looks like this

package myapps;

public final class Request {
    private String requestID;
    private String protocol;
    private String host;
    private String method;
    private int httpStatusCode;
    private String userAgent;

    public String getRequestID() {
        return requestID;
    }
    public void setRequestID(String requestID) {
        this.requestID = requestID;
    }
    public String getProtocol() {
        return protocol;
    }
    public void setProtocol(String protocol) {
        this.protocol = protocol;
    }
    public String getHost() {
        return host;
    }
    public void setHost(String host) {
        this.host = host;
    }
    public String getMethod() {
        return method;
    }
    public void setMethod(String method) {
        this.method = method;
    }
    public int getHttpStatusCode() {
        return httpStatusCode;
    }
    public void setHttpStatusCode(int httpStatusCode) {
        this.httpStatusCode = httpStatusCode;
    }
    public String getUserAgent() {
        return userAgent;
    }
    public void setUserAgent(String userAgent) {
        this.userAgent = userAgent;
    }
}

EDIT: when I exit from kafka-console-consumer.sh , it's saying Processed a total of 0 messages .

Answer 1

As the error indicate, a class is missing a non-argument default constructor for Serdes$WrapperSerde :

Could not find a public no-argument constructor 

The issue is this construct:

Serde<Request> requestSerde = Serdes.serdeFrom(requestJsonSerializer, requestJsonDeserializer);
props.put(StreamsConfig.DEFAULT_VALUE_SERDE_CLASS_CONFIG, requestSerde.getClass().getName());

Serdes.serdeFrom return WrapperSerde that does not have an empty default constructor. Thus, you cannot pass it into the StreamsConfig . You can use Serdes generate like this only if you pass objects into the corresponding API calls (ie, overwrite default Serde for certain operators).

To make it work (ie, to be able to set the Serde in the config), you would need to implement a proper class that implement Serde interface.

Answer 2

The requestSerde.getClass().getName() did not work for me. I needed to provide my own WrapperSerde implementation in an inner class. You probably need to do the same with something like:

public class MySerde extends WrapperSerde<Request> {
    public MySerde () {
        super(requestJsonSerializer, requestJsonDeserializer);
    }
}

Answer 3

不是在属性中指定，而是在流创建中添加自定义 serde

 KStream<String, Request> source = builder.stream("streams-requests-input",Consumed.with(Serdes.String(), requestSerde));
