Getting Consumption Cursor

Last updated: 2020-05-21 14:20:29

    Feature Description

    This API is used to get the cursor of the corresponding topic partition based on time, which is used to get the log data on the corresponding topic partition.

    Request

    Sample request

    GET /cursor?topic_id=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx&partition_id=1&from=end HTTP/1.1
    Host: <Region>.cls.tencentyun.com
    Authorization: <AuthorizationString>

    Request header

    There are only common request headers but no special request headers.

    Request parameters

    Parameter Name Type Location Required Description
    topic_id string query Yes Log topic ID
    partition_id int query Yes Topic partition number
    from string query Yes from is used to identify the start time of real-time consumption, which supports three types:
    1. "UNIX timestamp (seconds)", which indicates to consume the logs starting at the specified UNIX time
    2. "start", which indicates to consume logs starting at the start time of the topic partition lifecycle
    3. "end", which indicates to consume logs starting at the end time of the topic partition lifecycle (current time)

    Topic partition lifecycle description

    The data lifecycle of a topic partition is set by the CLS backend and is no less than 1 day (the lifecycle of topic partition data varies by log topic).

    For example, if the current time is 2019-10-10 12:00:00, the time range (based on the server time) in which data in each topic partition can be consumed is: [2019-10-09 12:00:00, 2019-10-10 12:00:00).

    from can be used to locate the starting position of real-time consumption in the topic partition. If the lifecycle of the topic partition is [start_time, end_time), then:

    • When from (UNIX timestamp) ≤ start_time or from = "start", the time point returned by the API will be the cursor position corresponding to start_time.
    • When from (UNIX timestamp) ≥ end_time or from = "end", the API will return the next cursor position to be written at the current time point (there is no data at this cursor position currently).
    • When from (UNIX timestamp) > start_time and from (UNIX timestamp) < end_time, the API will return the cursor position corresponding to the first data packet received by the server at a time after or at from (UNIX timestamp).
