Kafka Connect Oracle

kafka-connect-oracle is a Kafka source connector for capturing all row based DML changes from Oracle database and streaming these changes to Kafka. Change data capture logic is based on Oracle LogMiner solution.

Only committed changes are pulled from Oracle which are Insert, Update, Delete operations. All streamed messages have related full "sql_redo" statement and parsed fields with values of sql statements. Parsed fields and values are kept in proper field type in schemas.

Messages have old (before change) and new (after change) values of row fields for DML operations. Insert operation has only new values of row tagged as "data". Update operation has new data tagged as "data" and also contains old values of row before change tagged as "before". Delete operation only contains old data tagged as "before".

News

• Ability to only capture specified operation like INSERT / UPDATE / DELETE .
• DDL Capture Support.DDL statements can be captured via this connector.All captured DDL statements are published into <db.name.alias>.<SEGMENT_OWNER>."_GENERIC_DDL" name formatted topic if no topic configuration property is set in property file.If a topic is set for configuration propery , all captured DDL statements are published into this topic with other statements.
• Partial rollback detection has been implemented
• With new relases of Oracle database like 19c, CONTINUOUS_MINE option is desupported and Logminer has lost ability mining of redo and archive logs continuously. First release of this connector was based on this property. This Connector now has the ability to capture all changed data(DML changes) without CONTINUOUS_MINE option for new relases of Oracle database. For this change all test have been done on single instances. Working on RAC support
• Table blacklist configuration property can be used to not capture specified tables or schemas

}

Setting Up

The database must be in archivelog mode and supplemental logging must be enabled.

On database server

sqlplus / as sysdba    
SQL>shutdown immediate
SQL>startup mount
SQL>alter database archivelog;
SQL>alter database open;

Enable supplemental logging

sqlplus / as sysdba    
SQL>alter database add supplemental log data (all) columns;

In order to execute connector successfully, connector must be started with privileged Oracle user. If given user has DBA role, this step can be skipped. Otherwise, the following scripts need to be executed to create a privileged user:

create role logmnr_role;
grant create session to logmnr_role;
grant  execute_catalog_role,select any transaction ,select any dictionary to logmnr_role;
create user kminer identified by kminerpass;
grant  logmnr_role to kminer;
alter user kminer quota unlimited on users;

In a multitenant configuration, the privileged Oracle user must be a "common user" and some multitenant-specific grants need to be made:

create role c##logmnr_role;
grant create session to c##logmnr_role;
grant  execute_catalog_role,select any transaction ,select any dictionary,logmining to c##logmnr_role;
create user c##kminer identified by kminerpass;
grant  c##logmnr_role to c##kminer;
alter user c##kminer quota unlimited on users set container_data = all container = current;

Building and Running

mvn clean package

Copy kafka-connect-oracle-1.0.jar and lib/ojdbc7.jar to KAFKA_HOME/lib folder. If CONFLUENT platform is using for kafka cluster , copy ojdbc7.jar and  kafka-connect-oracle-1.0.jar to $CONFLUENT_HOME/share/java/kafka-connect-jdbc folder.

Copy config/OracleSourceConnector.properties file to $KAFKA_HOME/config . For CONFLUENT copy properties file to $CONFLUENT_HOME/etc/kafka-connect-jdbc

To start connector

cd $KAFKA_HOME
./bin/connect-standalone.sh ./config/connect-standalone.properties ./config/OracleSourceConnector.properties

In order to start connector with Avro serialization 

cd $CONFLUENT_HOME

./bin/connect-standalone ./etc/schema-registry/connect-avro-standalone.properties ./etc/kafka-connect-jdbc/OracleSourceConnector.properties 

Do not forget to populate connect-standalone.properties  or connect-avro-standalone.properties with the appropriate hostnames and ports.

Todo:

1. Implementation for DDL operations
2. Support for other Oracle specific data types
3. New implementations
4. Performance Tuning
5. Initial data load
6. Bug fix
