Enable JMX Metrics in Flume 1.3x

By Anonymous
Listen:
As you know, Flume supports Ganglia (version 3 and above) to collect report metrics. The details are described in our documentation (1).

Now I'll describe how do you use JMX reporting (to integrate metrics into other monitoring systems or monitor flume directly via Java's builtin JMX console (2)). That's pretty easy - choose a port which is free on your server and not firewall blocked.

First, enable JMX via flume's env.sh ($FLUME_HOME/conf/flume-env.sh) and uncomment / add / edit the line starting with JAVA-OPTS:

JAVA_OPTS="-Xms100m -Xmx200m -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=54321 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false"

Of course, restart all running agents. 

Now point jconsole to Flume:

jconsole YOUR_HOSTNAME: 54321

    Nothing. But not all have ganglia installed, and this is the Java way to get metrics out.

Deal with corrupted messages in Apache Kafka

By
Under some strange circumstances, it can happen that a message in a Kafka topic is corrupted. This often happens when using 3rd party frameworks with Kafka. In addition, Kafka < 0.9 does not have a lock on Log.read() at the consumer read level, but does have a lock on Log.write(). This can lead to a rare race condition as described in KAKFA-2477 [1]. A likely log entry looks like this: ERROR Error processing message, stopping consumer: (kafka.tools.ConsoleConsumer$) kafka.message.InvalidMessageException: Message is corrupt (stored crc = xxxxxxxxxx, computed crc = yyyyyyyyyy Kafka-Tools Kafka stores the offset of each consumer in Zookeeper. To read the offsets, Kafka provides handy tools [2]. But you can also use zkCli.sh, at least to display the consumer and the stored offsets. First we need to find the consumer for a topic (> Kafka 0.9): bin/kafka-consumer-groups.sh --zookeeper management01:2181 --describe --group test Prior to Kafka 0.9, the only way to get this in...

Beyond Ctrl+F - Use LLM's For PDF Analysis

By
PDFs are everywhere, seemingly indestructible, and present in our daily lives at all thinkable and unthinkable positions. We've all got mountains of them, and even companies shouting about "digital transformation" haven't managed to escape their clutches. Now, I'm a product guy, not a document management guru. But I started thinking: if PDFs are omnipresent in our existence, why not throw some cutting-edge AI at the problem? Maybe Large Language Models (LLMs) and Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) could be the answer. Don't get me wrong, PDF search indexes like Solr exist, but they're basically glorified Ctrl+F. They point you to the right file, but don't actually help you understand what's in it. And sure, Microsoft Fabric's got some fancy PDF Q&A stuff, but it's a complex beast with a hefty price tag. That's why I decided to experiment with LLMs and RAG. My idea? An intelligent knowledge base built on top of our existing P...

Run Llama3 (or any LLM / SLM) on Your MacBook in 2024

By
I'm gonna be real with you: the Cloud and SaaS / PaaS is great... until it isn't. When you're elbow-deep in doing something with the likes of ChatGPT or Gemini or whatever, the last thing you need is your AI assistant starts choking (It seems that upper network connection was reset) because 5G or the local WiFi crapped out or some server halfway across the world is having a meltdown(s). That's why I'm all about running large language models (LLMs) like Llama3 locally. Yep, right on your trusty MacBook. Sure, the cloud's got its perks, but here's why local is the way to go, especially for me: Privacy:  When you're brainstorming the next big thing, you don't want your ideas floating around on some random server. Keeping your data local means it's  yours , and that's a level of control I can get behind. Offline = Uninterrupted Flow:  Whether you're on a plane, at a coffee shop with spotty wifi, or jus...
