Flink on Kubernetes

Very much influenced by Spark Example

Sources

The Docker images are based on https://github.com/melentye/flink-docker

Setup

Step Zero: Prerequisites

  • You have a Kubernetes cluster installed and running. Use Minikube for local testing.
  • You have the kubectl command line tool somewhere in your path.

Step One: Create namespace

$ kubectl create -f namespace.yaml

Now list all namespaces:

$ kubectl get namespaces
NAME          STATUS    AGE
default       Active    3h
flink         Active    20m
kube-system   Active    3h

In order not to pass the --namespace flink argument each time, we define a context and use it:

$ kubectl config set-context flink --namespace=flink --cluster=${YOUR_CLUSTER_NAME} --user=${YOUR_USER_NAME}
$ kubectl config use-context flink

You can find your cluster name and user name in kubernetes config in ~/.kube/config.

Step Two: Start your Job Manager service

The Job Manager service is the master service for a Flink cluster.

Use the jobmanager-controller.yaml file to create a replication controller running the Flink Job Manager.

$ kubectl create -f jobmanager-controller.yaml
replicationcontroller "jobmanager-controller" created

Then, use the jobmanager-service.yaml file to create a logical service endpoint that Flink Task Managers can use to access the Job Manager pod. It fact, even the Job Manager pods will fail to start before executing this step, since they attempt to use the resulting DNS record on startup.

$ kubectl create -f jobmanager-service.yaml
service "jobmanager" created

You can then create a service for the Flink Job Manager WebUI:

$ kubectl create -f jobmanager-webui-service.yaml
service "jobmanager-webui" created

Check to see if Job Manager is running and accessible

$ kubectl get pods
NAME                            READY     STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
jobmanager-controller-5u0q5     1/1       Running   0          8m

Check logs to see the status of the Job Manager. (Use the pod name retrieved on the previous step.)

$ kubectl logs jobmanager-controller-5u0q5
[...]

After you know the master is running, you can use the cluster proxy to connect to the Flink WebUI:

kubectl proxy --port=8080 &

At which point the UI will be available at http://localhost:8080/api/v1/proxy/namespaces/flink/services/jobmanager-webui/.

Step Three: Start your Flink Task Managers

Use the taskmanager-controller.yaml file to create a replication controller that manages the Task Manager pods.

$ kubectl create -f taskmanager-controller.yaml
replicationcontroller "taskmanager-controller" created

Check to see if the Task Managers are running

If you launched the Flink WebUI, your Task Managers should just appear in the UI when they're ready. (It may take a little bit to pull the images and launch the pods.) You can also interrogate the status in the following way:

$ kubectl get pods
NAME                            READY     STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
jobmanager-controller-5u0q5     1/1       Running   0          25m
taskmanager-controller-e8otp    1/1       Running   0          6m
taskmanager-controller-fiivl    1/1       Running   0          6m

$ kubectl logs jobmanager-controller-5u0q5
[...]

Current number of registered hosts is 1. Current number of alive task slots is 2.
2016-11-12 21:36:25,653 INFO  org.apache.flink.runtime.clusterframework.standalone.StandaloneResourceManager  - TaskManager ResourceID{resourceId='4aa8f076fb7fa6f726d9292e56c9da0c'} has started.
2016-11-12 21:36:25,666 INFO  org.apache.flink.runtime.clusterframework.standalone.StandaloneResourceManager  - TaskManager ResourceID{resourceId='12ad33ad4d6c98a02081935133336500'} has started.
2016-11-12 21:36:25,667 INFO  org.apache.flink.runtime.instance.InstanceManager             - Registered TaskManager at taskmanager-controller-2chea (akka.tcp://[email protected]:42142/user/taskmanager) as 6ba1e278196cab39238e407e8fee3833.

2016-11-12 21:36:25,968 INFO  org.apache.flink.runtime.instance.InstanceManager             - Registered TaskManager at taskmanager-controller-q8aei (akka.tcp://[email protected]:36143/user/taskmanager) as 889f76511e7f778f18c2d4a9c75e6920. Current number of registered hosts is 3. Current number of alive task slots is 6.

Assuming you still have the kubectl proxy running from the previous section, you should now see the Task Managers in the UI as well.

Usage

Connecting to Job Manager Web UI

See above for kubectl proxy examples. It works well on real Kubernetes cluster but if you are running 'minikube' you need to run this command that works for me:

$ kubectl.exe  port-forward jobmanager-controller-ppnmx  8090:8081 

You need to adjust the pods of the jobmanager and the port you would like to forward to.

Submitting Jobs

One option is to use Web UI, upload a JAR and submit a job from there.

Flink Compatibility

FLINK-2821 which is strictly speaking not a Flink bug, seems to be preventing Task Managers from talking to Job Managers because of the recipient IP address mismatch. Therefore we're using a Docker image with a custom Akka 3 build of Flink 1.1.3 instead of the vanilla 1.1.3.
