chrislu 5ae0b21b22 fix: Reduce manual commit frequency from every 10 to every 100 messages
PROBLEM:
Consumer throughput still 45.46 msgs/sec vs producer 50.29 msgs/sec (10% gap).

ROOT CAUSE:
Manual session.Commit() every 10 messages creates excessive overhead:
  - 1,880 messages consumed → 188 commit operations
  - Each commit is SYNCHRONOUS and blocks message processing
  - Auto-commit is already enabled (5s interval)
  - Double-committing reduces effective throughput

ANALYSIS:
  - Test showed consumer lag at 0 at end (not falling behind)
  - Only ~1,880 of 12,200 messages consumed during 2-minute window
  - Consumers start 2s late, need ~262s to consume all at current rate
  - Commit overhead: 188 RPC round trips = significant latency

FIX:
Reduce manual commit frequency from every 10 to every 100 messages:
  - Only 18-20 manual commits during entire test
  - Auto-commit handles primary offset persistence (5s interval)
  - Manual commits serve as backup for edge cases
  - Unblocks message processing loop for higher throughput

EXPECTED IMPACT:
  - Consumer throughput: 45.46 → ~49+ msgs/sec (match producer!)
  - Latency reduction: Fewer synchronous commits
  - Test duration: Should consume all messages before test ends

Kafka Gateway Tests with SMQ Integration

This directory contains tests for the SeaweedFS Kafka Gateway with full SeaweedMQ (SMQ) integration.

Test Types

Unit Tests (./unit/)

  • Basic gateway functionality
  • Protocol compatibility
  • No SeaweedFS backend required
  • Uses mock handlers

Integration Tests (./integration/)

  • Mock Mode (default): Uses in-memory handlers for protocol testing
  • SMQ Mode (with SEAWEEDFS_MASTERS): Uses real SeaweedFS backend for full integration

E2E Tests (./e2e/)

  • End-to-end workflows
  • Automatically detects SMQ availability
  • Falls back to mock mode if SMQ unavailable

Running Tests Locally

Quick Protocol Testing (Mock Mode)

# Run all integration tests with mock backend
cd test/kafka
go test ./integration/...

# Run specific test
go test -v ./integration/ -run TestClientCompatibility

Full Integration Testing (SMQ Mode)

Requires running SeaweedFS instance:

  1. Start SeaweedFS with MQ support:
# Terminal 1: Start SeaweedFS server
weed server -ip="127.0.0.1" -ip.bind="0.0.0.0" -dir=/tmp/seaweedfs-data -master.port=9333 -volume.port=8081 -filer.port=8888 -filer=true

# Terminal 2: Start MQ broker  
weed mq.broker -master="127.0.0.1:9333" -ip="127.0.0.1" -port=17777
  1. Run tests with SMQ backend:
cd test/kafka
SEAWEEDFS_MASTERS=127.0.0.1:9333 go test ./integration/...

# Run specific SMQ integration tests
SEAWEEDFS_MASTERS=127.0.0.1:9333 go test -v ./integration/ -run TestSMQIntegration

Test Broker Startup

If you're having broker startup issues:

# Debug broker startup locally
./scripts/test-broker-startup.sh

CI/CD Integration

GitHub Actions Jobs

  1. Unit Tests - Fast protocol tests with mock backend
  2. Integration Tests - Mock mode by default
  3. E2E Tests (with SMQ) - Full SeaweedFS + MQ broker stack
  4. Client Compatibility (with SMQ) - Tests different Kafka clients against real backend
  5. Consumer Group Tests (with SMQ) - Tests consumer group persistence
  6. SMQ Integration Tests - Dedicated SMQ-specific functionality tests

What Gets Tested with SMQ

When SEAWEEDFS_MASTERS is available, tests exercise:

  • Real Message Persistence - Messages stored in SeaweedFS volumes
  • Offset Persistence - Consumer group offsets stored in SeaweedFS filer
  • Topic Persistence - Topic metadata persisted in SeaweedFS filer
  • Consumer Group Coordination - Distributed coordinator assignment
  • Cross-Client Compatibility - Sarama, kafka-go with real backend
  • Broker Discovery - Gateway discovers MQ brokers via masters

Test Infrastructure

testutil.NewGatewayTestServerWithSMQ(t, mode)

Smart gateway creation that automatically:

  • Detects SMQ availability via SEAWEEDFS_MASTERS
  • Uses production handler when available
  • Falls back to mock when unavailable
  • Provides timeout protection against hanging

Modes:

  • SMQRequired - Skip test if SMQ unavailable
  • SMQAvailable - Use SMQ if available, otherwise mock
  • SMQUnavailable - Always use mock

Timeout Protection

Gateway creation includes timeout protection to prevent CI hanging:

  • 20 second timeout for SMQRequired mode
  • 15 second timeout for SMQAvailable mode
  • Clear error messages when broker discovery fails

Debugging Failed Tests

CI Logs to Check

  1. "SeaweedFS master is up" - Master started successfully
  2. "SeaweedFS filer is up" - Filer ready
  3. "SeaweedFS MQ broker is up" - Broker started successfully
  4. Broker/Server logs - Shown on broker startup failure

Local Debugging

  1. Run ./scripts/test-broker-startup.sh to test broker startup
  2. Check logs at /tmp/weed-*.log
  3. Test individual components:
    # Test master
    curl http://127.0.0.1:9333/cluster/status
    
    # Test filer  
    curl http://127.0.0.1:8888/status
    
    # Test broker
    nc -z 127.0.0.1 17777
    

Common Issues

  • Broker fails to start: Check filer is ready before starting broker
  • Gateway timeout: Broker discovery fails, check broker is accessible
  • Test hangs: Timeout protection not working, reduce timeout values

This architecture ensures full integration testing of the entire Kafka → SeaweedFS message path.
