Managing persistent topics
Persistent helps to access topic which is a logical endpoint for publishing and consuming messages. Producers publish messages to the topic and consumers subscribe to the topic, to consume messages published to the topic.
In all of the instructions and commands below, the topic name structure is:
Persistent topics resources
List of topics
It provides a list of persistent topics exist under a given namespace.
pulsar-admin
List of topics can be fetched using list
command.
$ pulsar-admin persistent list \
my-tenant/my-namespace
REST API
GET
/admin/persistent/:tenant/:namespace
Java
String namespace = "my-tenant/my-namespace";
admin.persistentTopics().getList(namespace);
Grant permission
It grants permissions on a client role to perform specific actions on a given topic.
pulsar-admin
Permission can be granted using grant-permission
command.
$ pulsar-admin persistent grant-permission \
--actions produce,consume --role application1 \
persistent://test-tenant/ns1/tp1 \

/admin/namespaces/:tenant/:namespace/permissions/:role
Java
String destination = "persistent://my-tenant/my-namespace/my-topic";
String role = "test-role";

admin.persistentTopics().grantPermission(destination, role, actions);

Permission can be fetched using permissions
command.

Revoke permission
It revokes a permission which was granted on a client role.
pulsar-admin
Permission can be revoked using revoke-permission
command.

-

averageMsgSize: Average message size in bytes from this publisher within the last interval

consumers: The list of connected consumers for this subscription
-
consumerName: Internal identifier for this consumer, generated by the client library

messagesConsumedCounter: Number of messages this cursor has acked since this broker loaded this topic
-
cursorLedger: The ledger being used to persistently store the current markDeletePosition
-
cursorLedgerLastEntry: The last entryid used to persistently store the current markDeletePosition
-
individuallyDeletedMessages: If Acks are being done out of order, shows the ranges of messages Acked between the markDeletePosition and the read-position
-
lastLedgerSwitchTimestamp: The last time the cursor ledger was rolled over
-
state: The state of the cursor ledger: Open means we have a cursor ledger for saving updates of the markDeletePosition.
