Develop Pulsar Functions in Java

This section introduces how to develop and pacakge Java Pulsar functions to use on StreamNative cloud.

Develop

StreamNative supports all features for the Java functions, please refer to: Develop Functions to learn how to develop a Java Function.

Package

Please refer to: Pacakge Java Functions

Deploy

After creating a cluster, set up your environment and develop&package your function, you can use the snctl, pulsarctl, pulsar-admin command, the REST API, or terraform to deploy a Pulsar function to your cluster.

You can create a java Pulsar function by using a local JAR/NAR package or an uploaded Pulsar functions package(recommend).

(Optional) Upload your function file to Pulsar

It's recommend to upload your function file to Pulsar before you create a function. Since you can add a version suffix to the package.

Upload packages

snctl pulsar admin packages upload function://public/default/[email protected] \
--path exclamation-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar \
--description "exclamation function" \
--properties fileName=exclamation-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

You should see the following output:

The package 'function://public/default/[email protected]' uploaded from path 'examples/api-examples.jar' successfully

Create

You need to package your Java function as a .jar or .nar file (and upload it to Pulsar) first.

snctl pulsar admin functions create \
--tenant public \
--namespace default \
--name function1 \
--inputs persistent://public/default/test-java-input \
--output persistent://public/default/test-java-output \
--classname org.apache.pulsar.functions.api.examples.ExclamationFunction \
--jar function://public/default/[email protected]
--use-service-account

You should see something like this:

Created function1 successfully
