How to create Kafka failure using choas monkey

[Subbu M]

Hi,

I have a resilient system that sends messages to both the Primary and Secondary Kafka clusters. However, when I use iptables and the Hystrix library, it detects timeouts and retries for a longer period of time, causing data to become congested at the producer. Conversely, when I intentionally shut down the Kafka service during the same test, Hystrix detects the error and opens the circuit and immediately sends the messages to secondary.

Any thoughts I can use Chaos monkey to simulate real Kafka failure?

regards

Subbu

Check out Trogdor, a fault injection tool built into Kafka: https://github.com/a0x8o/kafka/blob/master/TROGDOR.md

Thanks!
