akka-stream-sqs

Reactive SQS implementation for Akka streams powered by AWS SDK for Java

Available at Maven Central for Scala 2.11 and 2.12:

libraryDependencies += "me.snov" %% "akka-stream-sqs" % "0.2.2"

Overview

  • Provides building blocks (partial graphs) for Akka streams integration with SQS
  • Based on AWS SDK for Java and operates with raw objects from the SDK
  • Lightweight, no unnecessary layers over AWS SDK
  • Supports Typesafe config
  • Consumer automatically reconnects on failure
  • Supports delayed message requeue

Quick example

Message processing with acknowledgement

Read SQS configuration from config file, pull messages from the queue, process, and acknowledge. This stream listens for new messages and never stops.

val sqsSettings = SqsSettings(system) // use existing ActorSystem
Source.fromGraph(SqsSourceShape(settings))
	.mapAsync(parallelism = 4)({ message: Message => Future {
		println(s"Processing ${message.getMessageId}")

		(message, Ack())
	  }
	})
	.runWith(Sink.fromGraph(SqsAckSinkShape(settings)))

Send a message

Send "hello" to the queue and wait for result.

val sqsSettings = SqsSettings(system) // use existing ActorSystem
val future = Source.single(new SendMessageRequest().withMessageBody("test"))
	.runWith(Sink.fromGraph(SqsPublishSinkShape(sqsSettings)))
Await.ready(future, 1.second)	

Components

SqsSourceShape

  • Type: Source
  • Emits com.amazonaws.services.sqs.model.Message

Infinite source of SQS messages. Only queries Amazon services when there's demand from upstream (i.e. all previous messages have been consumed). Messages are loaded in batches by maxNumberOfMessages and pushed one by one.

When SQS is not available, it tries to reconnect infinitely.

SqsAckSinkShape

  • Type: Sink
  • Accepts (com.amazonaws.services.sqs.model.Message, MessageAction)
  • Materialized value: Future[Done]

Acknowledges processed messages. Completes with Done when all messages are processed or Failure on upstream failure.

Your flow must decide which action to take and push it with message:

  • Ack - delete message from the queue.
  • RequeueWithDelay(delaySeconds: Int) - schedule a retry.

SqsPublishSinkShape

  • Type: Sink
  • Accepts com.amazonaws.services.sqs.model.SendMessageRequest
  • Materialized value: Future[Done]

Publishes messages to the Amazon service. Completes with Done when all messages are processed or Failure on upstream failure.

Types

akka-stream-sqs uses raw types from AWS SDK when possible.

  • SqsMessageWithAction - alias for (SqsMessage, MessageAction)
  • MessageActionPair - either Ack which means "delete message" or RequeueWithDelay(delaySeconds: Int) which means "requeue and try later"

Configuration

Typesafe configuration

If you provide ActorSystem to SqsSettings, it will read your configuration file:

akka-stream-sqs {

  # QueueUrl
  #
  # The URL of the Amazon SQS queue to take action on.
  queue-url = "http://localhost:9324/queue/queue1"

  # MaxNumberOfMessages
  #
  # The maximum number of messages to return. Amazon SQS never returns more messages than this value
  # but may return fewer. Values can be from 1 to 10.
  # Default: 10
  max-number-of-messages = 10

  # WaitTimeSeconds
  #
  # The duration (in seconds) for which the call will wait for a message to arrive in the queue
  # before returning. If a message is available, the call will return sooner than WaitTimeSeconds.
  # Default: 10
  wait-time-seconds = 10

  # VisibilityTimeout
  #
  # The duration (in seconds) that the received messages are hidden from subsequent retrieve requests
  # after being retrieved by a ReceiveMessage request.
  # Optional
  # visibility-timeout = 60

  # AWS endpoint and region override.
  #
  # Note you have to provide both values if you want to override 
  # the endpoint settings. This is due to the EndpointConfiguration object.
  # Optional
  # endpoint = "http://localhost:9324/"
  # region = "eu-west-1
  
  # MessageAttributeNames
  #
  # A list of message attributes wich will be received if present in the message. 
  # you can send a list of attribute names to receive, or you can return all
  # of the attributes by specifying "All" or ".*". You can also use all message
  # attributes starting with a prefix, for example "bar.*".
  # message-attributes = ["foo", "bar", "All", "foo.*"]
}

SqsSettings

Wrapper for AWS SDK settings. You can override client and its configuration, credentials provider, and queue options.

  • awsClient - AmazonSQSAsync, by default, AmazonSQSAsyncClient is used
  • awsCredentialsProvider - AWSCredentialsProvider, by default DefaultAWSCredentialsProviderChain is used
  • awsClientConfiguration - ClientConfiguration, by default ClientConfiguration
  • queueUrl - The URL of the Amazon SQS queue to take action on. Queue URLs are case-sensitive.
  • maxNumberOfMessages - The maximum number of messages to return. Amazon SQS never returns more messages than this value but may return fewer. Values can be from 1 to 10. Default is 1. All of the messages are not necessarily returned. Default is 10
  • waitTimeSeconds - The duration (in seconds) for which the call will wait for a message to arrive in the queue before returning. If a message is available, the call will return sooner than WaitTimeSeconds. Default is '10'
  • visibilityTimeout - The duration (in seconds) that the received messages are hidden from subsequent retrieve requests after being retrieved by a ReceiveMessage request.
  • `MessageAttributeNames - A list of MessageAttributeNames you want to be able to receive, if you don't provide values here than all message attributes will be ignored.
