I haven’t done any graalvm builds myself, so sorry if this is a newbie question, but should JNI using libraries work out of the box with graalvm? I’m thinking specifically about RocksDB (the fat jar has linux, windows and mac libs baked in)
I don’t see the connection, does kafka use rocksdb?
Yes, Kafka streams apparently. Google around and you’ll see the quarkus issue.
interesting, I had no idea… thanks
I’ll look around
you can also use the graal tracing agent https://www.graalvm.org/latest/reference-manual/native-image/metadata/AutomaticMetadataCollection/ along with a similar agent for clojure https://github.com/luontola/clojure-native-image-agent the graal tracing agent can generate JNI and other config from running your program
You can make JNI work but probably not out of the box unless there is a known configuration for it
I was afraid it wouldn’t be that easy
if I need to delve into the internals of rocksdb jni, it sounds like it might be quite a lot of work
It seems quarkus has support for Kafka streams so this probably means you could copy something or something might already be available in the registry
