Apache Flink
Apache Flink is an open source stream processing framework with powerful stream- and batch-processing capabilities.
Learn more about Flink at https://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) across 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
-
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")
.window(TumblingProcessingTimeWindow.of(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, WSL)
- Git
- Maven (we recommend version 3.2.5 and require at least 3.1.1)
- Java 8 or 11 (Java 9 or 10 may work)
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 3.1.1 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 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.
- IntelliJ download: https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/
- IntelliJ Scala Plugin: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/?id=1347
Check out our Setting up IntelliJ guide for details.
Eclipse Scala IDE
NOTE: From our experience, this setup does not work with Flink due to deficiencies of the old Eclipse version bundled with Scala IDE 3.0.3 or due to version incompatibilities with the bundled Scala version in Scala IDE 4.4.1.
We recommend to use IntelliJ instead (see above)
