csharp-test-bed-adapter

This is the C# Apache Kafka adapter created for the DRIVER-EU test-bed. This allows C# written programs to communicate over the test-bed.

The implementation is a wrapper around Confluent's .NET Client for Apache Kafka<sup>TM</sup> with the additional NuGet package to support Avro serialization (Confluent.Kafka.Avro (version 0.11.6)), and offers support for:

  • Sending and receiving Avro schema's and messages: both producer and consumer use Avro schema's for their message key and value. Methods for sending and receiving standard or custom messages are SendMessage & AddCallback
  • Logging via Kafka: your application can log on several log levels (eg. error, debug, info) onto a specific test-bed topic. Methods for sending and receiving log messages are Log & AddLogCallback
  • Receive time information: the adapter is connected to the test-bed time service, allowing you to receive relevant time-related information like fictive trial time, or the speed of the trial. Method for retrieving the time information is GetTimeInfo
  • Uploading large data: the adapter is connected to the test-bed large data service, allowing you to upload large data files for sharing with other applications connected to the test-bed. Methods for uploading large data are GetLargeFileServiceClient & Upload
  • Setup a SSL connection with a test-bed including security features Setup is completely done in the CSharpTestBedAdapter-settings.xml
  • Internal Management: the adapter makes the coupling between application and test-bed as easy as possible.

Dependencies

  • All projects are build on the .NET Framework 4.6
  • All projects are dependent on one NuGet package from Confluent:

In order to use the csharp-test-bed-adapter, you are also required to download and install the above-mentioned NuGet package.

Usage

The C# test-bed adapter is available as Nuget package. You can also manually build CSharpTestBedAdapter and include the compiled DLLs CSharpTestBedAdapter.dll, CoreMessages.dll & StandardMessages.dll into your own application.

Next to the compiled CSharpTestBedAdapter.dll, there is a CSharpTestBedAdapter-settings.xml, where you can change the following adapter settings:

  • client.id: the name of the application that uses this adapter
  • heartbeat.interval: the time (in ms) between sending a heartbeat
  • security.protocol: the security protocol this adapter is using (PLAINTEXT or SSL)
  • security.ca.path: the path of the issuer certificate :: only needed when security.protocol = SSL
  • security.keystore.path: the path of the PKCS#12 keystore (client keypair + certificate) for client authentication :: only needed when security.protocol = SSL
  • security.keystore.password: the password for the PKCS#12 keystore :: only needed when security.protocol = SSL
  • broker.url: the URL of the Kafka broker to connect to
  • schema.url: the URL of the schema registry service to use
  • send.sync: indication if the adapter needs to stall the application thread until the message is sent
  • retry.count: number of retries before timing out when sending messages
  • retry.time: amount of time (in ms) before timing out when sending messages
  • direct.connect: indication if this adapter is allowed to send and receive messages without waiting for the admin tool

See the 3 example projects for further implementation of this adapter.
