• Topic and queue semantics
• Load balancer
• Designed for being deployed as a hosted service:
  • Multi-tenant

• Keeps track of consumer cursor position
• REST API for provisioning, admin and stats
• Geo replication
• Transparent handling of partitioned topics
• Transparent batching of messages

Note:

This project includes a Maven Wrapper that can be used instead of a system-installed Maven. Use it by replacing mvn by ./mvnw on Linux and mvnw.cmd on Windows in the commands below.

It's better to use CMD rather than Powershell on Windows. Because maven will activate the windows profile which runs rename-netty-native-libs.cmd.

Compile and install:

$ mvn install -DskipTests

Compile and install individual module

$ mvn -pl module-name (e.g: pulsar-broker) install -DskipTests

mvn install -Pcore-modules,-main -DskipTests

Run Unit Tests:

$ mvn test

Run Individual Unit Test:

$ mvn -pl module-name (e.g: pulsar-client) test -Dtest=unit-test-name (e.g: ConsumerBuilderImplTest)

Run Selected Test packages:

$ mvn test -pl module-name (for example, pulsar-broker) -Dinclude=org/apache/pulsar/**/*.java

Start standalone Pulsar service:

$ bin/pulsar standalone

• Docker images must be built with Java 8 for branch-2.7 or previous branches because of ISSUE-8445.
• Java 11 is the recommended JDK version in branch-2.8, branch-2.9 and branch-2.10.
• Java 17 is the recommended JDK version in master.

The following command builds the docker images apachepulsar/pulsar-all:latest and apachepulsar/pulsar:latest:

mvn clean install -DskipTests
mvn package -Pdocker,-main -am -pl docker/pulsar-all -DskipTests

After the images are built, they can be tagged and pushed to your custom repository. Here's an example of a bash script that tags the docker images with the current version and git revision and pushes them to localhost:32000/apachepulsar.

image_repo_and_project=localhost:32000/apachepulsar
pulsar_version=$(mvn initialize help:evaluate -Dexpression=project.version -pl . -q -DforceStdout)
gitrev=$(git rev-parse HEAD | colrm 10)
tag="${pulsar_version}-${gitrev}"
echo "Using tag $tag"
docker tag apachepulsar/pulsar-all:latest ${image_repo_and_project}/pulsar-all:$tag
docker push ${image_repo_and_project}/pulsar-all:$tag
docker tag apachepulsar/pulsar:latest ${image_repo_and_project}/pulsar:$tag
docker push ${image_repo_and_project}/pulsar:$tag
