BlazingMQ Java SDK

This repository provides the official Java client library as well as examples of how applications can interact with BlazingMQ. BlazingMQ is an open source message queue system with focus on efficiency, reliability and a rich feature set. Please see the BlazingMQ repo and documentation for more details about BlazingMQ.

This Java client is fully supported by the BlazingMQ team and we provide feature and/or API parity with the BlazingMQ C++ client library.

Building

This repository contains two modules:

• bmq-sdk: contains BlazingMQ Java client library code
• bmq-examples: contains sample producer and consumer clients

Build and Install the JARs

Execute from repo root:

$ mvn clean install

Above command will compile and install both modules -- bmq-sdk as well as bmq-examples. It will also run tests and carry out static analysis. If it is desired to skip running any tests and static analysis while creating the JARs (because those steps were executed already), one can execute:

$ mvn clean -Dmaven.test.skip=true -Dspotbugs.skip=true install

Build and Run bmq-examples Producer Example

$ cd bmq-examples
$ mvn clean compile
$ mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="com.bloomberg.bmq.examples.Producer"

Above command expects that bmq-sdk JAR is installed locally. Also note that BlazingMQ backend must be running for producer/consumer examples to run successfully.

Building BlazingMQ Backend

Detailed instructions to build BlazingMQ backend (BlazingMQ message brokers, etc) can be found here.

Supported JDKs

The SDK code supports building with the following kits:

• JDK8
  • Builds the code with these compiler parameters:
    • source=8 (which allows up to Java 8 features)
    • target=8 (which generates JVM 8 bytecode)
• JDK11 and JDK17
  • Builds the code with release=8 (generated JVM 8 compatible code) plus builds the code in java9 directory with release=9. This way multi release JAR is produced which contains Java8 and Java9 versions of Crc32c class

By default, JDK defined in JAVA_HOME is used. When running any maven command, corresponding profile is activated depending on the JDK version. To get a list of active profiles run the following command:

# On this machine JAVA_HOME is set to JDK8.
$ mvn help:active-profiles
...
The following profiles are active:

 - JDK8 (source: com.bloomberg.bmq:bmq-sdk:X.Y.Z-SNAPSHOT)

To use another JDK, override JAVA_HOME env variable. For instance:

# clean output and compile the code using JDK 11
$ JAVA_HOME=${PATH_TO_JDK11} mvn clean compile
...
[INFO] BUILD SUCCESS
...

Build and Run Unit Tests

• All unit tests

  $ mvn -q -Dspotbugs.skip=true -Dspotless.check.skip=true test  // '-q' for quiet mode

• A specific unit test class, e.g. OpenQueueTest

  $ mvn -q -Dspotbugs.skip=true -Dspotless.check.skip=true -Dtest=OpenQueueTest test

• A specific unit test method of a class, e.g. OpenQueueTest.testReset

  $ mvn -q -Dspotbugs.skip=true -Dspotless.check.skip=true -Dtest=OpenQueueTest#testReset test
