a. 首先启动Canal Server，可参见QuickStart
b.

1. 可以在eclipse里，直接打开com.alibaba.otter.canal.example.SimpleCanalClientTest，直接运行
2. 在工程的example目录下运行命令行：

   mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="com.alibaba.otter.canal.example.SimpleCanalClientTest"

3. 下载example包: https://github.com/alibaba/canal/releases，解压缩后，直接运行sh startup.sh脚本

c. 触发数据变更 d. 在控制台或者logs中查看，可以看到如下信息 ：

================> binlog[mysql-bin.002579:508882822] , name[retl,xdual] , eventType : UPDATE , executeTime : 1368607728000 , delay : 4270ms
-------> before
ID : 1    update=false
X : 2013-05-15 11:43:42    update=false
-------> after
ID : 1    update=false
X : 2013-05-15 16:48:48    update=true

---

依赖配置：

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.alibaba.otter</groupId>
    <artifactId>canal.client</artifactId>
    <version>1.1.0</version>
</dependency>

1. 创建mvn标准工程：

mvn archetype:create -DgroupId=com.alibaba.otter -DartifactId=canal.sample

maven3.0.5以上版本舍弃了create，使用generate生成项目

mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.alibaba.otter -DartifactId=canal.sample

2. 修改pom.xml，添加依赖

3. ClientSample代码

                                                                                        11111), "example", "", "");
    int batchSize = 1000;
    int emptyCount = 0;
    try {
        connector.connect();
        connector.subscribe(".*\\..*");
        connector.rollback();
        int totalEmptyCount = 120;
        while (emptyCount < totalEmptyCount) {
            Message message = connector.getWithoutAck(batchSize); // 获取指定数量的数据
            long batchId = message.getId();
            int size = message.getEntries().size();
            if (batchId == -1 || size == 0) {
                emptyCount++;
                System.out.println("empty count : " + emptyCount);
                try {

                printEntry(message.getEntries());
            }

            connector.ack(batchId); // 提交确认
            // connector.rollback(batchId); // 处理失败, 回滚数据
        }

        System.out.println("empty too many times, exit");
    } finally {
        connector.disconnect();
    }
}

private static void printEntry(List<Entry> entrys) {
    for (Entry entry : entrys) {
        if (entry.getEntryType() == EntryType.TRANSACTIONBEGIN || entry.getEntryType() == EntryType.TRANSACTIONEND) {

        System.out.println(column.getName() + " : " + column.getValue() + "    update=" + column.getUpdated());
    }
}

}

4. 运行Client

首先启动Canal Server，可参见QuickStart

启动Canal Client后，可以从控制台从看到类似消息：

empty count : 1
empty count : 2
empty count : 3
empty count : 4

此时代表当前数据库无变更数据

5. 触发数据库变更

mysql> use test;
Database changed
mysql> CREATE TABLE `xdual` (
    ->   `ID` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
    ->   `X` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
    ->   PRIMARY KEY (`ID`)
    -> ) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=3 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 ;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.06 sec)
mysql> insert into xdual(id,x) values(null,now());Query OK, 1 row affected (0.06 sec)

可以从控制台中看到：

empty count : 1
empty count : 2
empty count : 3
empty count : 4
================> binlog[mysql-bin.001946:313661577] , name[test,xdual] , eventType : INSERT
ID : 4    update=true
X : 2013-02-05 23:29:46    update=true

如果需要更详细的exmpale例子，请下载canal当前最新源码包，里面有个example工程，谢谢.
