Class EventBuffer


  • class EventBuffer
    extends Object
    This class represents a look-ahead buffer that allows Debezium to accumulate binlog events and decide if the last event in transaction is either ROLLBACK or COMMIT. The incoming events are either supposed to be in transaction or out-of-transaction. When out-of-transaction they are sent directly into the destination handler. When in transaction the event goes through the buffering.

    The reason for the buffering is that the binlog contains rolled back transactions in some cases. E.g. that's the case when a temporary table is dropped (see DBZ-390). For rolled back transactions we may not propagate any of the contained events, hence the buffering is applied.

    The transaction start is identified by a BEGIN event. Transaction is ended either by COMMIT event or by XID an event.

    If there are more events that can fit to the buffer then:

    • Binlog position is recorded for the first event not fitting into the buffer
    • Binlog position is recorded for the commit event
    • Buffer content is sent to the final handler
    • Binlog position is rewound and all events between the above recorded positions are sent to the final handler

    • Method Detail

      • add

        public void add​(com.github.shyiko.mysql.binlog.event.Event event)
        An entry point to the buffer that should be used by BinlogReader to push events.
        Parameters:
        event - to be stored in the buffer
      • isReplayingEventsBeyondBufferCapacity

        private boolean isReplayingEventsBeyondBufferCapacity()
        Whether we are replaying TX events from binlog that have not fit into the buffer before
      • addToBuffer

        private void addToBuffer​(com.github.shyiko.mysql.binlog.event.Event event)
        Adds an event to the buffer if there is a space available. Records binlog position for the first event that does not fit for later replay.
        Parameters:
        event -
      • switchToBufferFullMode

        private void switchToBufferFullMode()
      • isInBufferFullMode

        private boolean isInBufferFullMode()
      • consumeEvent

        private void consumeEvent​(com.github.shyiko.mysql.binlog.event.Event event)
      • beginTransaction

        private void beginTransaction​(com.github.shyiko.mysql.binlog.event.Event event)
      • completeTransaction

        private void completeTransaction​(boolean wellFormed,
                                         com.github.shyiko.mysql.binlog.event.Event event)
        Sends all events from the buffer int a final handler. For large transactions it executes rewind of binlog reader back to the first event that was not stored in the buffer.
        Parameters:
        wellFormed -
        event -
      • rollbackTransaction

        private void rollbackTransaction()
      • clear

        private void clear()
        Cleans-up the buffer after the transaction is either thrown away or streamed into a Kafka topic
