Apache Flink

Apache Flink is an open source stream processing framework with powerful stream- and batch-processing capabilities.

Learn more about Flink at http://flink.apache.org/

Features

  • A streaming-first runtime that supports both batch processing and data streaming programs

  • Elegant and fluent APIs in Java and Scala

  • A runtime that supports very high throughput and low event latency at the same time

  • Support for event time and out-of-order processing in the DataStream API, based on the Dataflow Model

  • Flexible windowing (time, count, sessions, custom triggers) accross different time semantics (event time, processing time)

  • Fault-tolerance with exactly-once processing guarantees

  • Natural back-pressure in streaming programs

  • Libraries for Graph processing (batch), Machine Learning (batch), and Complex Event Processing (streaming)

  • Built-in support for iterative programs (BSP) in the DataSet (batch) API

  • Custom memory management for efficient and robust switching between in-memory and out-of-core data processing algorithms

  • Compatibility layers for Apache Hadoop MapReduce and Apache Storm

  • Integration with YARN, HDFS, HBase, and other components of the Apache Hadoop ecosystem

Streaming Example

case class WordWithCount(word: String, count: Long)

val text = env.socketTextStream(host, port, '\n')

val windowCounts = text.flatMap { w => w.split("\\s") }
  .map { w => WordWithCount(w, 1) }
  .keyBy("word")
  .timeWindow(Time.seconds(5))
  .sum("count")

windowCounts.print()

Batch Example

case class WordWithCount(word: String, count: Long)

val text = env.readTextFile(path)

val counts = text.flatMap { w => w.split("\\s") }
  .map { w => WordWithCount(w, 1) }
  .groupBy("word")
  .sum("count")

counts.writeAsCsv(outputPath)

Building Apache Flink from Source

Prerequisites for building Flink:

  • Unix-like environment (We use Linux, Mac OS X, Cygwin)
  • git
  • Maven (we recommend version 3.0.4)
  • Java 7 or 8
git clone https://github.com/apache/flink.git
cd flink
mvn clean package -DskipTests # this will take up to 10 minutes

Flink is now installed in build-target

NOTE: Maven 3.3.x can build Flink, but will not properly shade away certain dependencies. Maven 3.0.3 creates the libraries properly. To build unit tests with Java 8, use Java 8u51 or above to prevent failures in unit tests that use the PowerMock runner.

Developing Flink

The Flink committers use IntelliJ IDEA and Eclipse IDE to develop the Flink codebase. We recommend IntelliJ IDEA for developing projects that involve Scala code.

Minimal requirements for an IDE are:

  • Support for Java and Scala (also mixed projects)
  • Support for Maven with Java and Scala

IntelliJ IDEA

The IntelliJ IDE supports Maven out of the box and offers a plugin for Scala development.

Check out our Setting up IntelliJ guide for details.

Eclipse Scala IDE

For Eclipse users, we recommend using Scala IDE 3.0.3, based on Eclipse Kepler. While this is a slightly older version, we found it to be the version that works most robustly for a complex project like Flink.

Further details, and a guide to newer Scala IDE versions can be found in the How to setup Eclipse docs.

Note: Before following this setup, make sure to run the build from the command line once (mvn clean install -DskipTests, see above)

  1. Download the Scala IDE (preferred) or install the plugin to Eclipse Kepler. See How to setup Eclipse for download links and instructions.
  2. Add the "macroparadise" compiler plugin to the Scala compiler. Open "Window" -> "Preferences" -> "Scala" -> "Compiler" -> "Advanced" and put into the "Xplugin" field the path to the macroparadise jar file (typically "/home/-your-user-/.m2/repository/org/scalamacros/paradise_2.10.4/2.0.1/paradise_2.10.4-2.0.1.jar"). Note: If you do not have the jar file, you probably did not run the command line build.
  3. Import the Flink Maven projects ("File" -> "Import" -> "Maven" -> "Existing Maven Projects")
  4. During the import, Eclipse will ask to automatically install additional Maven build helper plugins.
  5. Close the "flink-java8" project. Since Eclipse Kepler does not support Java 8, you cannot develop this project.
