landoop/ais-generator
A Kafka producer for AIS messages.
259
A docker image that generates AIS data into a kafka topic.
A sample run could be:
docker run --rm -it --net=host landoop/ais-generator \
-messages 100000000 \
-rate 25000 \
-jitter 5000 \
-bootstrap-servers broker1:9092,broker2:9092
-schema-registry http://schema.registry:8081
The generator specifically produces Class A Position Reports. It includes a real world recording of about 275000 such reports and rolls over once it send them all.
The produce process follows a normal distribution with mean=rate
and
stddev=jitter
. Thus if you set jitter=0
(default) you get a stable rate.
The reason we distribute it as a docker image is the librdkafka bindings for Go, which make it non-trivial to build and use properly.
docker pull landoop/ais-generator
