To implement a Spring Boot Kafka consumer that processes messages in batch with a retry mechanism, we can use Spring Kafka and Spring Batch, along with a retry template. The retry template will enable us to handle processing failures and retry failed messages.

Here's how you can achieve this:

Step 1: Set up the project and configure Kafka as shown in previous examples.

Step 2: Create the Kafka batch consumer with retry mechanism:



import org.apache.kafka.clients.consumer.ConsumerRecord;
import org.springframework.kafka.annotation.KafkaListener;
import org.springframework.retry.annotation.Backoff;
import org.springframework.retry.annotation.Retryable;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;

import java.util.List;

@Component
public class KafkaBatchConsumer {

    @KafkaListener(topics = "my-topic")
    @Retryable(
        maxAttempts = 3, // Maximum number of retry attempts
        backoff = @Backoff(delay = 1000) // Wait time between retry attempts (in milliseconds)
    )
    public void consumeMessages(List<ConsumerRecord<String, String>> records) {
        for (ConsumerRecord<String, String> record : records) {
            String message = record.value();
            System.out.println("Received message: " + message);

            try {
                // Your message processing logic goes here
                // Simulate a failure for demonstration purposes
                if (message.contains("fail")) {
                    throw new RuntimeException("Simulated processing failure");
                }
            } catch (Exception ex) {
                // Retryable exceptions will be caught here
                throw ex; // Re-throw the exception to trigger the retry mechanism
            }
        }
    }
}

In this example, we've added the @Retryable annotation to the consumeMessages method, which indicates that this method can be retried in case of an exception. We set maxAttempts to 3, which means the method will be retried up to 3 times if an exception occurs. The @Backoff annotation configures the wait time between retry attempts, in this case, 1 second.

Step 3: Create the retry configuration bean:

import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.retry.annotation.EnableRetry;
import org.springframework.retry.policy.SimpleRetryPolicy;
import org.springframework.retry.support.RetryTemplate;

@Configuration
@EnableRetry
public class RetryConfiguration {

    @Bean
    public RetryTemplate retryTemplate() {
        RetryTemplate retryTemplate = new RetryTemplate();
        SimpleRetryPolicy retryPolicy = new SimpleRetryPolicy();
        retryPolicy.setMaxAttempts(3); // Maximum number of retry attempts
        retryTemplate.setRetryPolicy(retryPolicy);
        return retryTemplate;
    }
}

To implement a Spring Boot Kafka consumer that processes messages in batch with a retry mechanism, we can use Spring Kafka and Spring Batch, along with a retry template. The retry template will enable us to handle processing failures and retry failed messages.

Here's how you can achieve this:

Step 1: Set up the project and configure Kafka as shown in previous examples.

Step 2: Create the Kafka batch consumer with retry mechanism:

java
Copy code
import org.apache.kafka.clients.consumer.ConsumerRecord;
import org.springframework.kafka.annotation.KafkaListener;
import org.springframework.retry.annotation.Backoff;
import org.springframework.retry.annotation.Retryable;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;

import java.util.List;

@Component
public class KafkaBatchConsumer {

    @KafkaListener(topics = "my-topic")
    @Retryable(
        maxAttempts = 3, // Maximum number of retry attempts
        backoff = @Backoff(delay = 1000) // Wait time between retry attempts (in milliseconds)
    )
    public void consumeMessages(List<ConsumerRecord<String, String>> records) {
        for (ConsumerRecord<String, String> record : records) {
            String message = record.value();
            System.out.println("Received message: " + message);

            try {
                // Your message processing logic goes here
                // Simulate a failure for demonstration purposes
                if (message.contains("fail")) {
                    throw new RuntimeException("Simulated processing failure");
                }
            } catch (Exception ex) {
                // Retryable exceptions will be caught here
                throw ex; // Re-throw the exception to trigger the retry mechanism
            }
        }
    }
}
In this example, we've added the @Retryable annotation to the consumeMessages method, which indicates that this method can be retried in case of an exception. We set maxAttempts to 3, which means the method will be retried up to 3 times if an exception occurs. The @Backoff annotation configures the wait time between retry attempts, in this case, 1 second.

Step 3: Create the retry configuration bean:

java
Copy code
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.retry.annotation.EnableRetry;
import org.springframework.retry.policy.SimpleRetryPolicy;
import org.springframework.retry.support.RetryTemplate;

@Configuration
@EnableRetry
public class RetryConfiguration {

    @Bean
    public RetryTemplate retryTemplate() {
        RetryTemplate retryTemplate = new RetryTemplate();
        SimpleRetryPolicy retryPolicy = new SimpleRetryPolicy();
        retryPolicy.setMaxAttempts(3); // Maximum number of retry attempts
        retryTemplate.setRetryPolicy(retryPolicy);
        return retryTemplate;
    }
}
In this configuration, we create a RetryTemplate and configure a SimpleRetryPolicy with maxAttempts set to 3, similar to the @Retryable annotation in the previous step.

With this setup, the Kafka batch consumer will attempt to retry processing failed messages up to 3 times with a 1-second delay between each retry.

Make sure to include the necessary dependencies for Spring Retry in your build file (e.g., Maven or Gradle).

Now, your Spring Boot Kafka consumer will process messages in batches with a retry mechanism in case of processing failures. Failed messages will be retried a configurable number of times before moving to the next batch.
