zkr - ZooKeeper Reaper

Utility to backup/restore ZooKeeper znodes or view and restore ZooKeeper transactions from transaction log/Exhibitor backup files.

Background

This project provides a command-line utility that can be used to backup and restore ZooKeeper znodes into JSON, optionally compressed, and write to a file or S3.

The logs command can replay transactions from Exhibitor transaction log and backup archive (gzip'd) logs. The logs command ignores ephemeral znodes.

By default, the logs command will only display the log transactions. Use --restore to actually write or overwrite znodes.

Build

This project was developed with gradle 6.7.1, java 11 and kotlin 1.4.20

./gradlew clean assemble

This will create a shaded jar named build/libs/zkr-all.jar

Usage

To see the available options, run:

java -jar build/libs/zkr-all.jar --help

The only required options is -z/--zookeeper which is a standard ZooKeeper connection string (e.g., localhost:2181)

Backup/restore Kafka

Backup

This tool can backup topics and acls in a Kafka cluster from either the Exhibitor transaction log/backup files. It is very important to NOT backup broker ephemeral nodes:

/kafka/controller
/kafka/brokers/ids/

This is done by default as --ephemeral's default value false

Restore

Restoring can be done using Exhibitor/ZooKeeper transaction logs or backup files or a zkr backup file but must be done in a specific order:

start Exhibitor/ZooKeeper (ONLY) with backups disabled (so you don't accidentally overwrite your backup files)
Run zkr with --overwrite-existing option
start brokers, et al

Quick demo

Run a quick demo to recover Kafka metadata stored in ZooKeeper

Create a Kafka cluster and topic

Run docker-compose up
Create a topic by running: echo "hello" | kafkacat -b localhost:9092 -P -t hello

Take a backup, then tear it all down

Take a backup: ./zkr.sh backup --zookeeper localhost:2181 -l backup-file
Tear it all down: docker-compose down

Restart cluster using the backup

Run docker-compose up --no-start
Run docker-compose start zookeeper
Restore ZooKeeper by running: ./zkr.sh restore --zookeeper localhost:2181 -l backup.json
Start Kafka cluster: docker-compose start kafka-broker

Check the restore by listing Kafka topics: kafkacat -b localhost:9092 -L

ZooKeeper security

via `jaas.conf`

Create a jaas.conf file with appropriate values. For example:

Server {
  org.apache.zookeeper.server.auth.DigestLoginModule required
  user_admin="developer"
  user_developer="developer";
};
Client {
  org.apache.zookeeper.server.auth.DigestLoginModule required
  username="admin"
  password="developer";
};

Invoke zkr thusly:

java -Djava.security.auth.login.config=./jaas.conf -cp build/libs/zkr-all.jar zkr.Zkr <command> <options>

Or use the zkr script in the root directory.

`superdigest` support

It may be necessary to add superdigest authorization to access restricted znodes (e.g., /kafka/config/users)

This is supported by specifying the superdigest password in an environment variable ZKR_SUPERDIGEST_PASSWORD or using the --superdigest-password parameter.

ATTRIBUTIONS

This utility borrowed heavily from:

ZooKeeper transaction and Exhibitor backup view/restore is based on ZooKeeper LogFormatter
Backup/Restore is based on zoocreeper
