+# Phobos
+
+Simplifying Kafka for Ruby apps!
+
+Phobos is a micro framework and library for applications dealing with [Apache Kafka](http://kafka.apache.org/).
+
+- It wraps common behaviors needed by consumers and producers in an easy and convenient API
+- It uses [ruby-kafka](https://github.com/zendesk/ruby-kafka) as its Kafka client and core component
+- It provides a CLI for starting and stopping a standalone application ready to be used for production purposes
+
+Why Phobos? Why not `ruby-kafka` directly? Well, `ruby-kafka` is just a client. You still need to write a lot of code to manage proper consuming and producing of messages. You need to do proper message routing, error handling, retrying, backing off and maybe logging/instrumenting the message management process. You also need to worry about setting up a platform independent test environment that works on CI as well as any local machine, and even on your deployment pipeline. Finally, you also need to consider how to deploy your app and how to start it.
+
+With Phobos by your side, all this becomes smooth sailing.

+## <a name="installation"></a> Installation
+
+Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
+
+```ruby
+gem 'phobos'
+```
+
+And then execute:
+
+```sh
+$ bundle
+```
+
+Or install it yourself as:
+
+```sh
+$ gem install phobos
+```
+
+## <a name="usage"></a> Usage
+
+Phobos can be used in two ways: as a standalone application or to support Kafka features in your existing project - including Rails apps. It provides a CLI tool to run it.
+
+### <a name="usage-standalone-apps"></a> Standalone apps
+
+Standalone apps have benefits such as individual deploys and smaller code bases. If consuming from Kafka is your version of microservices, Phobos can be of great help.
+
+### Setup
+
+To create an application with Phobos you need two things:
+  * A configuration file (more details in the [Configuration file](#usage-configuration-file) section)
+  * A `phobos_boot.rb` (or the name of your choice) to properly load your code into Phobos executor
+
+Use the Phobos CLI command __init__ to bootstrap your application. Example:
+
+```sh
+# call this command inside your app folder
+$ phobos init
+    create  config/phobos.yml
+    create  phobos_boot.rb
+```
+
+`phobos.yml` is the configuration file and `phobos_boot.rb` is the place to load your code.
+
+### Consumers (listeners and handlers)
+
+In Phobos apps __listeners__ are configured against Kafka - they are our consumers. A listener requires a __handler__ (a ruby class where you should process incoming messages), a Kafka __topic__, and a Kafka __group_id__. Consumer groups are used to coordinate the listeners across machines. We write the __handlers__ and Phobos makes sure to run them for us. An example of a handler is:
+
+```ruby
+class MyHandler
+  include Phobos::Handler
+
+  def consume(payload, metadata)
+    # payload  - This is the content of your Kafka message, Phobos does not attempt to
+    #            parse this content, it is delivered raw to you
+    # metadata - A hash with useful information about this event, it contains: The event key,
+    #            partition number, offset, retry_count, topic, group_id, and listener_id
+  end
+end
+```
+
+Writing a handler is all you need to allow Phobos to work - it will take care of execution, retries and concurrency.
+
+To start Phobos the __start__ command is used, example:
+
+```sh
+$ phobos start
+[2016-08-13T17:29:59:218+0200Z] INFO  -- Phobos : <Hash> {:message=>"Phobos configured", :env=>"development"}
+______ _           _
+| ___ \ |         | |
+| |_/ / |__   ___ | |__   ___  ___
+|  __/| '_ \ / _ \| '_ \ / _ \/ __|
+| |   | | | | (_) | |_) | (_) \__ \
+\_|   |_| |_|\___/|_.__/ \___/|___/
+
+phobos_boot.rb - find this file at ~/Projects/example/phobos_boot.rb
+
+[2016-08-13T17:29:59:272+0200Z] INFO  -- Phobos : <Hash> {:message=>"Listener started", :listener_id=>"6d5d2c", :group_id=>"test-1", :topic=>"test"}
+```
+
+By default, the __start__ command will look for the configuration file at `config/phobos.yml` and it will load the file `phobos_boot.rb` if it exists. In the example above all example files generated by the __init__ command are used as is. It is possible to change both files, use `-c` for the configuration file and `-b` for the boot file. Example:
+
+```sh
+$ phobos start -c /var/configs/my.yml -b /opt/apps/boot.rb
+```
+
+You may also choose to configure phobos with a hash from within your boot file.
+In this case, disable loading the config file with the `--skip-config` option:
+
+```sh
+$ phobos start -b /opt/apps/boot.rb --skip-config
+```
+
+### <a name="usage-consuming-messages-from-kafka"></a> Consuming messages from Kafka
+
+Messages from Kafka are consumed using __handlers__. You can use Phobos __executors__ or include it in your own project [as a library](#usage-as-library), but __handlers__ will always be used. To create a handler class, simply include the module `Phobos::Handler`. This module allows Phobos to manage the life cycle of your handler.
+
+A handler is required to implement the method `#consume(payload, metadata)`.
+
+Instances of your handler will be created for every message, so keep a constructor without arguments. If `consume` raises an exception, Phobos will retry the message indefinitely, applying the back off configuration presented in the configuration file. The `metadata` hash will contain a key called `retry_count` with the current number of retries for this message. To skip a message, simply return from `#consume`.
+
+The `metadata` hash will also contain a key called `headers` with the headers of the consumed message.
+
+When the listener starts, the class method `.start` will be called with the `kafka_client` used by the listener. Use this hook as a chance to setup necessary code for your handler. The class method `.stop` will be called during listener shutdown.
+
+```ruby
+class MyHandler
+  include Phobos::Handler
+
+  def self.start(kafka_client)
+    # setup handler
+  end
+
+  def self.stop
+    # teardown
+  end
+
+  def consume(payload, metadata)
+    # consume or skip message
+  end
+end
+```
+
+It is also possible to control the execution of `#consume` with the method `#around_consume(payload, metadata)`. This method receives the payload and metadata, and then invokes `#consume` method by means of a block; example:
+
+```ruby
+class MyHandler
+  include Phobos::Handler
+
+  def around_consume(payload, metadata)
+    Phobos.logger.info "consuming..."
+    output = yield payload, metadata
+    Phobos.logger.info "done, output: #{output}"
+  end
+
+  def consume(payload, metadata)
+    # consume or skip message
+  end
+end
+```
+
+Note: `around_consume` was previously defined as a class method. The current code supports both implementations, giving precendence to the class method, but future versions will no longer support `.around_consume`.
+
+```ruby
+class MyHandler
+  include Phobos::Handler
+
+  def self.around_consume(payload, metadata)
+    Phobos.logger.info "consuming..."
+    output = yield payload, metadata
+    Phobos.logger.info "done, output: #{output}"
+  end
+
+  def consume(payload, metadata)
+    # consume or skip message
+  end
+end
+```
+
+Take a look at the examples folder for some ideas.
+
+The hander life cycle can be illustrated as:
+
+  `.start` -> `#consume` -> `.stop`
+
+or optionally,
+
+  `.start` -> `#around_consume` [ `#consume` ] -> `.stop`
+
+#### Batch Consumption
+
+In addition to the regular handler, Phobos provides a `BatchHandler`. The
+basic ideas are identical, except that instead of being passed a single message
+at a time, the `BatchHandler` is passed a batch of messages. All methods
+follow the same pattern as the regular handler except that they each
+end in `_batch` and are passed an array of `Phobos::BatchMessage`s instead
+of a single payload.
+
+To enable handling of batches on the consumer side, you must specify
+a delivery method of `inline_batch` in [phobos.yml](config/phobos.yml.example),
+and your handler must include `BatchHandler`. Using a delivery method of `batch`
+assumes that you are still processing the messages one at a time and should
+use `Handler`.
+
+When using `inline_batch`, each instance of `Phobos::BatchMessage` will contain an
+instance method `headers` with the headers for that message.
+
+```ruby
+class MyBatchHandler
+  include Phobos::BatchHandler
+
+  def around_consume_batch(payloads, metadata)
+    payloads.each do |p|
+      p.payload[:timestamp] = Time.zone.now
+    end
+
+    yield payloads, metadata
+  end
+
+  def consume_batch(payloads, metadata)
+    payloads.each do |p|
+      logger.info("Got payload #{p.payload}, #{p.partition}, #{p.offset}, #{p.key}, #{p.payload[:timestamp]}")
+    end
+  end
+
+end
+```
+
+Note that retry logic will happen on the *batch* level in this case. If you are
+processing messages individually and an error happens in the middle, Phobos's
+retry logic will retry the entire batch. If this is not the behavior you want,
+consider using `batch` instead of `inline_batch`.
+
+### <a name="usage-producing-messages-to-kafka"></a> Producing messages to Kafka
+
+`ruby-kafka` provides several options for publishing messages, Phobos offers them through the module `Phobos::Producer`. It is possible to turn any ruby class into a producer (including your handlers), just include the producer module, example:
+
+```ruby
+class MyProducer
+  include Phobos::Producer
+end
+```
+
+Phobos is designed for multi threading, thus the producer is always bound to the current thread. It is possible to publish messages from objects and classes, pick the option that suits your code better.
+The producer module doesn't pollute your classes with a thousand methods, it includes a single method the class and in the instance level: `producer`.
+
+```ruby
+my = MyProducer.new
+my.producer.publish(topic: 'topic', payload: 'message-payload', key: 'partition and message key')
+
+# The code above has the same effect of this code:
+MyProducer.producer.publish(topic: 'topic', payload: 'message-payload', key: 'partition and message key')
+```
+
+The signature for the `publish` method is as follows:
+
+```ruby
+def publish(topic: topic, payload: payload, key: nil, partition_key: nil, headers: nil)
+```
+
+When publishing a message with headers, the `headers` argument must be a hash:
+
+```ruby
+my = MyProducer.new
+my.producer.publish(topic: 'topic', payload: 'message-payload', key: 'partition and message key', headers: { header_1: 'value 1' })
+```
+
+It is also possible to publish several messages at once:
+
+```ruby
+MyProducer
+  .producer
+  .publish_list([
+    { topic: 'A', payload: 'message-1', key: '1' },
+    { topic: 'B', payload: 'message-2', key: '2' },
+    { topic: 'B', payload: 'message-3', key: '3', headers: { header_1: 'value 1', header_2: 'value 2' } }
+  ])
+```
+
+There are two flavors of producers: __regular__ producers and __async__ producers.
+
+Regular producers will deliver the messages synchronously and disconnect, it doesn't matter if you use `publish` or `publish_list`; by default, after the messages get delivered the producer will disconnect.
+
+Async producers will accept your messages without blocking, use the methods `async_publish` and `async_publish_list` to use async producers.
+
+An example of using handlers to publish messages:
+
+```ruby
+class MyHandler
+  include Phobos::Handler
+  include Phobos::Producer
+
+  PUBLISH_TO = 'topic2'
+
+  def consume(payload, metadata)
+    producer.async_publish(topic: PUBLISH_TO, payload: {key: 'value'}.to_json)
+  end
+end
+```
+
+#### <a name="producer-config"></a> Note about configuring producers
+
+Since the handler life cycle is managed by the Listener, it will make sure the producer is properly closed before it stops. When calling the producer outside a handler remember, you need to shutdown them manually before you close the application. Use the class method `async_producer_shutdown` to safely shutdown the producer.
+
+Without configuring the Kafka client, the producers will create a new one when needed (once per thread). To disconnect from kafka call `kafka_client.close`.
+
+```ruby
+# This method will block until everything is safely closed
+MyProducer
+  .producer
+  .async_producer_shutdown
+
+MyProducer
+  .producer
+  .kafka_client
+  .close
+```
+
+### <a name="persistent-connection"></a> Note about producers with persistent connections
+
+By default, regular producers will automatically disconnect after every `publish` call. You can change this behavior (which reduces connection overhead, TLS etc - which increases speed significantly) by setting the `persistent_connections` config in `phobos.yml`. When set, regular producers behave identically to async producers and will also need to be shutdown manually using the `sync_producer_shutdown` method.
+
+Since regular producers with persistent connections have open connections, you need to manually disconnect from Kafka when ending your producers' life cycle:
+
+```ruby
+MyProducer
+  .producer
+  .sync_producer_shutdown
+```
+
+### <a name="usage-as-library"></a> Phobos as a library in an existing project
+
+When running as a standalone service, Phobos sets up a `Listener` and `Executor` for you. When you use Phobos as a library in your own project, you need to set these components up yourself.
+
+First, call the method `configure` with the path of your configuration file or with configuration settings hash.
+
+```ruby
+Phobos.configure('config/phobos.yml')
+```
+or
+```ruby
+Phobos.configure(kafka: { client_id: 'phobos' }, logger: { file: 'log/phobos.log' })
+```
+
+__Listener__ connects to Kafka and acts as your consumer. To create a listener you need a handler class, a topic, and a group id.
+
+```ruby
+listener = Phobos::Listener.new(
+  handler: Phobos::EchoHandler,
+  group_id: 'group1',
+  topic: 'test'
+)
+
+# start method blocks
+Thread.new { listener.start }
+
+listener.id # 6d5d2c (all listeners have an id)
+listener.stop # stop doesn't block
+```
+
+This is all you need to consume from Kafka with back off retries.
+
+An __executor__ is the supervisor of all listeners. It loads all listeners configured in `phobos.yml`. The executor keeps the listeners running and restarts them when needed.
+
+```ruby
+executor = Phobos::Executor.new
+
+# start doesn't block
+executor.start
+
+# stop will block until all listers are properly stopped
+executor.stop
+```
+
+When using Phobos __executors__ you don't care about how listeners are created, just provide the configuration under the `listeners` section in the configuration file and you are good to go.
+
+### <a name="usage-configuration-file"></a> Configuration file
+The configuration file is organized in 6 sections. Take a look at the example file, [config/phobos.yml.example](https://github.com/klarna/phobos/blob/master/config/phobos.yml.example).
+
+The file will be parsed through ERB so ERB syntax/file extension is supported beside the YML format.
+
+__logger__ configures the logger for all Phobos components. It automatically
+outputs to `STDOUT` and it saves the log in the configured file.
+
+__kafka__ provides configurations for every `Kafka::Client` created over the application.
+All [options supported by  `ruby-kafka`][ruby-kafka-client] can be provided.
+
+__producer__ provides configurations for all producers created over the application,
+the options are the same for regular and async producers.
+All [options supported by  `ruby-kafka`][ruby-kafka-producer] can be provided.
+If the __kafka__ key is present under __producer__, it is merged into the top-level __kafka__, allowing different connection configuration for producers.
+
+__consumer__ provides configurations for all consumer groups created over the application.
+All [options supported by  `ruby-kafka`][ruby-kafka-consumer] can be provided.
+If the __kafka__ key is present under __consumer__, it is merged into the top-level __kafka__, allowing different connection configuration for consumers.
+
+
+__backoff__ Phobos provides automatic retries for your handlers. If an exception
+is raised, the listener will retry following the back off configured here.
+Backoff can also be configured per listener.
+
+__listeners__ is the list of listeners configured. Each listener represents a consumer group.
+
+[ruby-kafka-client]: http://www.rubydoc.info/gems/ruby-kafka/Kafka%2FClient%3Ainitialize
+[ruby-kafka-consumer]: http://www.rubydoc.info/gems/ruby-kafka/Kafka%2FClient%3Aconsumer
+[ruby-kafka-producer]: http://www.rubydoc.info/gems/ruby-kafka/Kafka%2FClient%3Aproducer
+
+#### Additional listener configuration
+
+In some cases it's useful to  share _most_ of the configuration between
+multiple phobos processes, but have each process run different listeners. In
+that case, a separate yaml file can be created and loaded with the `-l` flag.
+Example:
+
+```sh
+$ phobos start -c /var/configs/my.yml -l /var/configs/additional_listeners.yml
+```
+
+Note that the config file _must_ still specify a listeners section, though it
+can be empty.
+
+#### Custom configuration/logging
+
+Phobos can be configured using a hash rather than the config file directly. This
+can be useful if you want to do some pre-processing before sending the file
+to Phobos. One particularly useful aspect is the ability to provide Phobos
+with a custom logger, e.g. by reusing the Rails logger:
+
+```ruby
+Phobos.configure(
+  custom_logger: Rails.logger,
+  custom_kafka_logger: Rails.logger
+)
+```
+
+If these keys are given, they will override the `logger` keys in the Phobos
+config file.
+
+### <a name="usage-instrumentation"></a> Instrumentation
+
+Some operations are instrumented using [Active Support Notifications](http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveSupport/Notifications.html).
+
+In order to receive notifications you can use the module `Phobos::Instrumentation`, example:
+
+```ruby
+Phobos::Instrumentation.subscribe('listener.start') do |event|
+  puts(event.payload)
+end
+```
+
+`Phobos::Instrumentation` is a convenience module around `ActiveSupport::Notifications`, feel free to use it or not. All Phobos events are in the `phobos` namespace. `Phobos::Instrumentation` will always look at `phobos.` events.

+  * make sure it reports `X examples, 0 failures`
+
+You can also run `bin/console` for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
+
+To install this gem onto your local machine, run `bundle exec rake install`. To release a new version, update the version number in `version.rb`, and then run `bundle exec rake release`, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the `.gem` file to [rubygems.org](https://rubygems.org).
+
+## <a name="test"></a> Test
+
+Phobos exports a spec helper that can help you test your consumer. The Phobos lifecycle will conveniently be activated for you with minimal setup required.
+
+* `process_message(handler:, payload:, metadata: {}, encoding: nil)` - Invokes your handler with payload and metadata, using a dummy listener (encoding and metadata are optional).
+
+```ruby
+### spec_helper.rb
+require 'phobos/test/helper'
+RSpec.configure do |config|
+  config.include Phobos::Test::Helper
+  config.before(:each) do
+    Phobos.configure(path_to_my_config_file)

+Version 2.0 removes deprecated ways of defining producers and consumers:
+* The `before_consume` method has been removed. You can have this behavior in the first part of an `around_consume` method.
+* `around_consume` is now only available as an instance method, and it must yield the values to pass to the `consume` method.
+* `publish` and `async_publish` now only accept keyword arguments, not positional arguments.
+
+Example pre-2.0:
+```ruby
+class MyHandler
+  include Phobos::Handler
+
+  def before_consume(payload, metadata)
+    payload[:id] = 1
+  end
+
+  def self.around_consume(payload, metadata)
+    metadata[:key] = 5
+    yield
+  end
+end
+```
+
+In 2.0:
+```ruby
+class MyHandler
+  include Phobos::Handler
+
+  def around_consume(payload, metadata)
+    new_payload = payload.dup
+    new_metadata = metadata.dup
+    new_payload[:id] = 1
+    new_metadata[:key] = 5
+    yield new_payload, new_metadata
+  end
+end
+```
+
+Producer, 1.9:
+```ruby
+  producer.publish('my-topic', { payload_value: 1}, 5, 3, {header_val: 5})
+```
+
+Producer 2.0:
+```ruby
+  producer.publish(topic: 'my-topic', payload: { payload_value: 1}, key: 5, 
+     partition_key: 3, headers: { header_val: 5})
+```
+
+Version 1.8.2 introduced a new `persistent_connections` setting for regular producers. This reduces the number of connections used to produce messages and you should consider setting it to true. This does require a manual shutdown call -  please see [Producers with persistent connections](#persistent-connection).

+
+## Linting
+
+Phobos projects Rubocop to lint the code, and in addition all projects use [Rubocop Rules](https://github.com/klippx/rubocop_rules) to maintain a shared rubocop configuration. Updates to the shared configurations are done in [phobos/shared](https://github.com/phobos/shared) repo, where you can also find instructions on how to apply the new settings to the Phobos projects.
