Renaming a kafka topic.

The Challenge of Inconsistent Kafka Topic Names
A context change can make a Kafka topic name irrelevant.
If we have a proper naming convention, we get some benefits out of the box.
For example, we can
● Find topics ownership.
● Moreover, Implement ACLs with the convention.
● Another significant point is implementing a Namespaces.
Unlike k8s, Kafka does not have a “namespaces”, so the only way to have one is through
the “Naming convention.”
We can imagine How important it is to have a shared cluster.
Why Consistent Naming Matters
Moving Towards Consistent Naming
→Creating a new cluster to satisfy the topic name consistency and other
policies and asking everyone to move there.
- It involves, downtime, increased cost, we can end up maintaining
multiple cluster for a while.
→We were looking for a Incremental Approach.
→A better alternative is topic migration with improved naming
conventions.
- This approach is: Simpler and less risky compared to creating a new
cluster.
- Efficient: Data migration tools can automate the process, minimizing
downtime.
● Sustainable: Addressing naming conventions with subset of topics.
Kafka Topic Renaming: A Hurdle
Apache Kafka does not currently support renaming topics natively.
Can we just copying data to a new topic !?
● Partition Mismatch: Cloning might distribute messages unevenly across partitions in the
new topic.
● Consumer Group Offset Loss: Consumer groups won't automatically track their progress
(offsets) in the new topic, leading to potential data loss or reprocessing.
● Message Order Issues: The order of messages might not be preserved during the cloning
process.
The Naive Approach - Cloning Topics
Leverage Existing Solutions (MirrorMaker2)
MM2 is based on the Kafka connect framework. It moves data from a source cluster to a
destination cluster.
- It's a Kafka Connect framework built specifically for data migration.
- What makes it especially valuable for renaming is its ability to handle the complexities we just
discussed.
- MirrorMaker2 ensures proper partition management, tracks consumer group offsets, and
preserves the original order of your messages.
- However, it's primarily designed for Disaster Recovery (DR) scenarios.
Can we tailor MirrorMaker2 for topic renaming?
Default Mirror Maker 2.0
> kaf topics
1. NAME PARTITIONS REPLICAS
2. Topic-1 1 1
3. cluster-alias.Topic-1 1 3
4. heartbeats 1 1
5. mm2-offset-syncs.internal 1 1
6. cluster-alias.checkpoints.internal 1 3
<SourceClusterAlias
>.TopicName
Shared Internal Topics: By default,
MirrorMaker2 creates internal topics that are
shared across all renaming jobs to track it
progress.
- To enable renaming, we can customize
internal topics with a 1:1 mapping to the
topic being renamed. This ensures
isolation and simplifies management.
- This help us to get redo capability,
Deleting a specific internal topic allows
resuming mirroring for that particular
renamed topic if necessary.

Lesson learned (Optimizing MirrorMaker2 for Renaming)
● Tuning Connect Tasks:
○ Set connect task max config, similar to topic partitions count.
● Balance Group Offsets Refresh Rates:
○ Avoid aggressive refresh.groups.interval.seconds values. Aim for a balance
between responsiveness and stability. (e.g.,
sync.group.offsets.interval.seconds: 120, refresh.groups.interval.seconds:
120)
sync.group.offsets.interval.seconds: 120
refresh.groups.interval.seconds: 120
Lesson learned (User Considerations for Kafka Topic Renaming)
Explaining Offset translation to the teams
○ Offset Translation:
■ Explain offset translation to users in an FAQ or documentation. This clarifies why
partition offsets might appear different after renaming.
○ Consumer Group Considerations:
■ Advise users to stop consumers and verify consumer group offset sync.
○ Downtime:
■ Clearly communicate any expected downtime/avoid during the renaming process.
● Life before KIP-875
a. Only way to reset MM2 to redo mirroring is deleting internal offset topic and redeploy with
new alias cluster name as __consumer_offsets is global.
b. After this KIP-875 is it possible to reset the connector offset.
curl -s -X DELETE http://..//connectors/{}/offsets
● Before merging any big topic cloning, do the capacity planning.
First-class offsets support in Kafka Connect
All the Complexity is hidden to from the user/developers and asked for a
PR.
Streamlined User Experience
Happy renaming!

Renaming a Kafka Topic | Kafka Summit London

  • 1. Renaming a kafka topic. Nahidul Kibria Senior Platform Engineer @ HelloFresh SE @nahidupa
  • 2. The Challenge of Inconsistent Kafka Topic Names A context change can make a Kafka topic name irrelevant.
  • 3. If we have a proper naming convention, we get some benefits out of the box. For example, we can ● Find topics ownership. ● Moreover, Implement ACLs with the convention. ● Another significant point is implementing a Namespaces. Unlike k8s, Kafka does not have a “namespaces”, so the only way to have one is through the “Naming convention.” We can imagine How important it is to have a shared cluster. Why Consistent Naming Matters
  • 4. Moving Towards Consistent Naming →Creating a new cluster to satisfy the topic name consistency and other policies and asking everyone to move there. - It involves, downtime, increased cost, we can end up maintaining multiple cluster for a while. →We were looking for a Incremental Approach. →A better alternative is topic migration with improved naming conventions. - This approach is: Simpler and less risky compared to creating a new cluster. - Efficient: Data migration tools can automate the process, minimizing downtime. ● Sustainable: Addressing naming conventions with subset of topics.
  • 5. Kafka Topic Renaming: A Hurdle Apache Kafka does not currently support renaming topics natively.
  • 6. Can we just copying data to a new topic !? ● Partition Mismatch: Cloning might distribute messages unevenly across partitions in the new topic. ● Consumer Group Offset Loss: Consumer groups won't automatically track their progress (offsets) in the new topic, leading to potential data loss or reprocessing. ● Message Order Issues: The order of messages might not be preserved during the cloning process. The Naive Approach - Cloning Topics
  • 7. Leverage Existing Solutions (MirrorMaker2) MM2 is based on the Kafka connect framework. It moves data from a source cluster to a destination cluster. - It's a Kafka Connect framework built specifically for data migration. - What makes it especially valuable for renaming is its ability to handle the complexities we just discussed. - MirrorMaker2 ensures proper partition management, tracks consumer group offsets, and preserves the original order of your messages. - However, it's primarily designed for Disaster Recovery (DR) scenarios.
  • 8. Can we tailor MirrorMaker2 for topic renaming?
  • 9. Default Mirror Maker 2.0 > kaf topics 1. NAME PARTITIONS REPLICAS 2. Topic-1 1 1 3. cluster-alias.Topic-1 1 3 4. heartbeats 1 1 5. mm2-offset-syncs.internal 1 1 6. cluster-alias.checkpoints.internal 1 3 <SourceClusterAlias >.TopicName
  • 10. Shared Internal Topics: By default, MirrorMaker2 creates internal topics that are shared across all renaming jobs to track it progress. - To enable renaming, we can customize internal topics with a 1:1 mapping to the topic being renamed. This ensures isolation and simplifies management. - This help us to get redo capability, Deleting a specific internal topic allows resuming mirroring for that particular renamed topic if necessary. Customizing MirrorMaker2 for Renaming
  • 11. Customizing Replication for Renaming(ReplicationPolicy) Git repository
  • 13. Lesson learned (Optimizing MirrorMaker2 for Renaming) ● Tuning Connect Tasks: ○ Set connect task max config, similar to topic partitions count. ● Balance Group Offsets Refresh Rates: ○ Avoid aggressive refresh.groups.interval.seconds values. Aim for a balance between responsiveness and stability. (e.g., sync.group.offsets.interval.seconds: 120, refresh.groups.interval.seconds: 120) sync.group.offsets.interval.seconds: 120 refresh.groups.interval.seconds: 120
  • 14. Lesson learned (User Considerations for Kafka Topic Renaming) Explaining Offset translation to the teams ○ Offset Translation: ■ Explain offset translation to users in an FAQ or documentation. This clarifies why partition offsets might appear different after renaming. ○ Consumer Group Considerations: ■ Advise users to stop consumers and verify consumer group offset sync. ○ Downtime: ■ Clearly communicate any expected downtime/avoid during the renaming process.
  • 15. ● Life before KIP-875 a. Only way to reset MM2 to redo mirroring is deleting internal offset topic and redeploy with new alias cluster name as __consumer_offsets is global. b. After this KIP-875 is it possible to reset the connector offset. curl -s -X DELETE http://..//connectors/{}/offsets ● Before merging any big topic cloning, do the capacity planning. First-class offsets support in Kafka Connect
