Spring-cloud-stream cannot produce kafka message

Question

I am trying to send messages to Kafka by using spring-cloud-stream but send method yields the following error:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Magic v1 does not support record headers
at org.apache.kafka.common.record.MemoryRecordsBuilder.appendWithOffset(MemoryRecordsBuilder.java:403) ~[kafka-clients-1.0.0.jar:na]
...

App.java

package com.example.demostream;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Qualifier;
import org.springframework.boot.CommandLineRunner;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.cloud.stream.annotation.EnableBinding;
import org.springframework.cloud.stream.messaging.Source;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.integration.support.MessageBuilder;
import org.springframework.messaging.MessageChannel;
import org.springframework.messaging.MessageHeaders;

@SpringBootApplication
@EnableBinding(Source.class)
public class DemoStreamApplication {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(DemoStreamApplication.class, args);
    }

    @Bean
    CommandLineRunner runner() {
        return args -> produce("hello there!");
    }


    @Autowired
    @Qualifier("output")
    MessageChannel outputChannel;
    public void produce(String payload) {
        outputChannel.send(MessageBuilder.withPayload(payload).build());
    }


}

I am running Kafka inside a docker container as issuing the command:

docker run -p 2181:2181 -p 9092:9092 --env ADVERTISED_HOST=127.0.0.1 --env ADVERTISED_PORT=9092 spotify/kafka

But I am able to consume and produce messages if I use spring-kafka instead of spring-cloud-stream. So, what is the problem with spring-cloud-stream?

Answer 1

This is happening because of client/broker version mismatch. I guess you are using Apache Kafka version 0.10.x. You have to use Apache Kafka 0.11.x or later to use with spring-cloud-stream(from version 2).
