Flink Conf "yarn.flink-dist-jar" Question

[Hailu, Andreas]

Hi,

 

We noticed that every time an application runs, it uploads the flink-dist artifact to the /user/<user>/.flink HDFS directory. This causes a user disk space quota issue as we submit thousands of apps to our cluster an hour. We had a similar problem with our Spark applications where it uploaded the Spark Assembly package for every app. Spark provides an argument to use a location in HDFS its for applications to leverage so they don’t need to upload them for every run, and that was our solution (see “spark.yarn.jar” configuration if interested.)

 

Looking at the Resource Orchestration Frameworks page, I see there’s might be a similar concept through a “yarn.flink-dist-jar” configuration option. I wanted to place the flink-dist package we’re using in a location in HDFS and configure out jobs to point to it, e.g.

 

yarn.flink-dist-jar: hdfs:////user/delp/.flink/flink-dist_2.11-1.9.1.jar

 

Am I correct in that this is what I’m looking for? I gave this a try with some jobs today, and based on what I’m seeing in the launch_container.sh in our YARN application, it still looks like it’s being uploaded:

 

export _FLINK_JAR_PATH="hdfs://d279536/user/delp/.flink/application_1583031705852_117863/flink-dist_2.11-1.9.1.jar"

 

How can I confirm? Or is this perhaps not config I’m looking for?

 

Best,

Andreas

Yes your requirement is exactly taken into consideration by the community. We currently have an open JIRA ticket for the specific feature[1] and works for loosing the constraint of flink-jar schema to support DFS location should happen.

FLINK-13938 seems a bit different than your requirement. The one totally matches is FLINK-14964. I'll appreciate it if you can share you opinion on the JIRA ticket.

Hi Hailu, tison,

I created a very similar ticket before to accelerate Flink submission on Yarn[1]. However,

we do not get a consensus in the PR. Maybe it's time to revive the discussion and try

to find a common solution for both the two tickets[1][2].

Hi Yang,

 

Yes, a combination of these two would be very helpful for us. We have a single shaded binary which we use to run all of the jobs on our YARN cluster. If we could designate a single location in HDFS for that as well, we could also greatly benefit from FLINK-13938.

 

It sounds like a general public cache solution is what’s being called for?

Also may I ask what causes these application ID directories to be left behind? Is it a job failure, or can they persist even if the application succeeds? I’d like to know so that I can implement my own cleanup in the interim to prevent exceeding user disk space quotas.

Hi Hailu,

Sorry for the late response. If the Flink cluster(e.g. Yarn application) is stopped directly

by `yarn application -kill`, then the staging directory will be left behind. Since the jobmanager

do not have any change to clean up the staging directly. Also it may happen when the

jobmanager crashed and reached the attempts limit of Yarn.

For FLINK-13938, yes, it is trying to use the Yarn public cache to accelerate the container

launch.

Best,

Yang

Hi,

 

We noticed that every time an application runs, it uploads the flink-dist artifact to the /user/<user>/.flink HDFS directory. This causes a user disk space quota issue as we submit thousands of apps to our cluster an hour. We had a similar problem with our Spark applications where it uploaded the Spark Assembly package for every app. Spark provides an argument to use a location in HDFS its for applications to leverage so they don’t need to upload them for every run, and that was our solution (see “spark.yarn.jar” configuration if interested.)

 

Looking at the Resource Orchestration Frameworks page, I see there’s might be a similar concept through a “yarn.flink-dist-jar” configuration option. I wanted to place the flink-dist package we’re using in a location in HDFS and configure out jobs to point to it, e.g.

 

yarn.flink-dist-jar: hdfs:////user/delp/.flink/flink-dist_2.11-1.9.1.jar

 

Am I correct in that this is what I’m looking for? I gave this a try with some jobs today, and based on what I’m seeing in the launch_container.sh in our YARN application, it still looks like it’s being uploaded:

 

export _FLINK_JAR_PATH="hdfs://d279536/user/delp/.flink/application_1583031705852_117863/flink-dist_2.11-1.9.1.jar"

 

How can I confirm? Or is this perhaps not config I’m looking for?

Hi Yang,

 

This is good to know. As a stopgap measure until a solution between 13938 and 14964 arrives, we can automate the application staging directory cleanup from our client should the process fail.

Hi Andreas,

it looks as if FLINK-13938 and FLINK-14964 won't make it into the 1.10.1 release because the community is about to start the release process. Since FLINK-13938 is a new feature it will be shipped with a major release. There is still a bit of time until the 1.11 feature freeze and if Yang Wang has time to finish this PR, then we could ship it.

Cheers,

Till

Hi,

 

We noticed that every time an application runs, it uploads the flink-dist artifact to the /user/<user>/.flink HDFS directory. This causes a user disk space quota issue as we submit thousands of apps to our cluster an hour. We had a similar problem with our Spark applications where it uploaded the Spark Assembly package for every app. Spark provides an argument to use a location in HDFS its for applications to leverage so they don’t need to upload them for every run, and that was our solution (see “spark.yarn.jar” configuration if interested.)

 

Looking at the Resource Orchestration Frameworks page, I see there’s might be a similar concept through a “yarn.flink-dist-jar” configuration option. I wanted to place the flink-dist package we’re using in a location in HDFS and configure out jobs to point to it, e.g.

 

yarn.flink-dist-jar: hdfs:////user/delp/.flink/flink-dist_2.11-1.9.1.jar

 

Am I correct in that this is what I’m looking for? I gave this a try with some jobs today, and based on what I’m seeing in the launch_container.sh in our YARN application, it still looks like it’s being uploaded:

 

export _FLINK_JAR_PATH="hdfs://d279536/user/delp/.flink/application_1583031705852_117863/flink-dist_2.11-1.9.1.jar"

Hi All, thanks a lot for reviving this discussion.

I think we could unify the FLINK-13938 and FLINK-14964 since they have the similar

purpose, avoid unnecessary uploading and downloading jars in YARN deployment.

The difference is FLINK-13938 aims to support the flink system lib directory only, while

FLINK-14964 is trying to support arbitrary pre-uloaded jars(including user and system jars).


So i suggest to do this feature as following.
1. Upload the flink lib directory or users to hdfs, e.g. "hdfs://hdpdev/flink/release/flink-1.x"

"hdfs://hdpdev/user/someone/mylib"
2. Use the -ypl argument to specify the shared lib, multiple directories could be specified
3. YarnClusterDescriptor will use the pre-uploaded jars to avoid unnecessary uploading,

both for system and user jars
4. YarnClusterDescriptor needs to set the system jars to public visibility so that the distributed

cache in the YARN nodemanager could be reused by multiple applications. This is to avoid

unnecessary downloading, especially for the "flink-dist-*.jar". For the user shared lib, the

visibility is still set to "APPLICATION" level.


For our past internal use case, the shared lib could help with accelerating the submission a lot.

Also it helps to reduce the pressure of HDFS when we want to launch many applications together.

@tison [hidden email] [hidden email] If you guys thinks the suggestion makes sense. I

will try to find some time to work on this and hope it could catch up with release-1.1 cycle.

Best,

Yang

Hi,

 

We noticed that every time an application runs, it uploads the flink-dist artifact to the /user/<user>/.flink HDFS directory. This causes a user disk space quota issue as we submit thousands of apps to our cluster an hour. We had a similar problem with our Spark applications where it uploaded the Spark Assembly package for every app. Spark provides an argument to use a location in HDFS its for applications to leverage so they don’t need to upload them for every run, and that was our solution (see “spark.yarn.jar” configuration if interested.)

 

Looking at the Resource Orchestration Frameworks page, I see there’s might be a similar concept through a “yarn.flink-dist-jar” configuration option. I wanted to place the flink-dist package we’re using in a location in HDFS and configure out jobs to point to it, e.g.

 

yarn.flink-dist-jar: hdfs:////user/delp/.flink/flink-dist_2.11-1.9.1.jar

 

Am I correct in that this is what I’m looking for? I gave this a try with some jobs today, and based on what I’m seeing in the launch_container.sh in our YARN application, it still looks like it’s being uploaded:

 

export _FLINK_JAR_PATH="hdfs://d279536/user/delp/.flink/application_1583031705852_117863/flink-dist_2.11-1.9.1.jar"

 

How can I confirm? Or is this perhaps not config I’m looking for?

 

Best,

Andreas

Hi Yang,

from what I understand it sounds reasonable to me. Could you sync with Tison on FLINK-14964 on how to proceed. I'm not super deep into these issues but they seem to be somewhat related and Tison already did some implementation work.

I'd say it be awesome if we could include this kind of improvement into the release.

Hi Yang,

I agree that these two of works would benefit from single assignee. My concern is as below

1. Both share libs & remote flink dist/libs are remote ship files. I don't think we have to implement multiple codepath/configuration.

2. So, for concept clarification, there are

  (1) an option to disable shipping local libs

  (2) flink-dist supports multiple schema at least we said "hdfs://"

  (3) an option for registering remote shipfiles with path & visibility. I think new configuration system helps.

the reason we have to special handling (2) instead of including it in (3) is because when shipping flink-dist to TM container, we specially detect flink-dist. Of course we can merge it into general ship files and validate shipfiles finally contain flink-dist, which is an alternative.

The *most important* difference is (1) and (3) which we don't have an option for only remote libs. Is this clarification satisfy your proposal?

Hi,

 

We noticed that every time an application runs, it uploads the flink-dist artifact to the /user/<user>/.flink HDFS directory. This causes a user disk space quota issue as we submit thousands of apps to our cluster an hour. We had a similar problem with our Spark applications where it uploaded the Spark Assembly package for every app. Spark provides an argument to use a location in HDFS its for applications to leverage so they don’t need to upload them for every run, and that was our solution (see “spark.yarn.jar” configuration if interested.)

 

Looking at the Resource Orchestration Frameworks page, I see there’s might be a similar concept through a “yarn.flink-dist-jar” configuration option. I wanted to place the flink-dist package we’re using in a location in HDFS and configure out jobs to point to it, e.g.

 

yarn.flink-dist-jar: hdfs:////user/delp/.flink/flink-dist_2.11-1.9.1.jar

 

Am I correct in that this is what I’m looking for? I gave this a try with some jobs today, and based on what I’m seeing in the launch_container.sh in our YARN application, it still looks like it’s being uploaded:

 

export _FLINK_JAR_PATH="hdfs://d279536/user/delp/.flink/application_1583031705852_117863/flink-dist_2.11-1.9.1.jar"

 

How can I confirm? Or is this perhaps not config I’m looking for?

 

Best,

Andreas

Hi tison,

For #3, if you mean registering remote HDFS file as local resource, we should make the "-yt/--yarnship"

to support remote directory. I think it is the right direction.

For #1, if the users could ship remote directory, then they could also specify like this 

"-yt hdfs://hdpdev/flink/release/flink-1.x, hdfs://hdpdev/user/someone/mylib". Do you mean we add an

option for whether trying to avoid unnecessary uploading? Maybe we could filter by names and file size.

I think this is a good suggestion, and we do not need to introduce a new config option "-ypl".

For #2, for flink-dist, the #1 could already solve the problem. We do not need to support remote schema.

It will confuse the users when we only support HDFS, not S3, OSS, etc.

Best,

Yang

Hi Yang,

I agree that these two of works would benefit from single assignee. My concern is as below

1. Both share libs & remote flink dist/libs are remote ship files. I don't think we have to implement multiple codepath/configuration.

2. So, for concept clarification, there are

  (1) an option to disable shipping local libs

  (2) flink-dist supports multiple schema at least we said "hdfs://"

  (3) an option for registering remote shipfiles with path & visibility. I think new configuration system helps.

the reason we have to special handling (2) instead of including it in (3) is because when shipping flink-dist to TM container, we specially detect flink-dist. Of course we can merge it into general ship files and validate shipfiles finally contain flink-dist, which is an alternative.

The *most important* difference is (1) and (3) which we don't have an option for only remote libs. Is this clarification satisfy your proposal?

Best,

tison.

Hi Yang,

from what I understand it sounds reasonable to me. Could you sync with Tison on FLINK-14964 on how to proceed. I'm not super deep into these issues but they seem to be somewhat related and Tison already did some implementation work.

Hi All, thanks a lot for reviving this discussion.

I think we could unify the FLINK-13938 and FLINK-14964 since they have the similar

purpose, avoid unnecessary uploading and downloading jars in YARN deployment.

The difference is FLINK-13938 aims to support the flink system lib directory only, while

FLINK-14964 is trying to support arbitrary pre-uloaded jars(including user and system jars).


So i suggest to do this feature as following.
1. Upload the flink lib directory or users to hdfs, e.g. "hdfs://hdpdev/flink/release/flink-1.x"

"hdfs://hdpdev/user/someone/mylib"
2. Use the -ypl argument to specify the shared lib, multiple directories could be specified
3. YarnClusterDescriptor will use the pre-uploaded jars to avoid unnecessary uploading,

both for system and user jars
4. YarnClusterDescriptor needs to set the system jars to public visibility so that the distributed

cache in the YARN nodemanager could be reused by multiple applications. This is to avoid

unnecessary downloading, especially for the "flink-dist-*.jar". For the user shared lib, the

visibility is still set to "APPLICATION" level.


For our past internal use case, the shared lib could help with accelerating the submission a lot.

Also it helps to reduce the pressure of HDFS when we want to launch many applications together.

@tison [hidden email] [hidden email] If you guys thinks the suggestion makes sense. I

will try to find some time to work on this and hope it could catch up with release-1.1 cycle.

This is good to know. As a stopgap measure until a solution between 13938 and 14964 arrives, we can automate the application staging directory cleanup from our client should the process fail.

Hi Hailu,

 

Sorry for the late response. If the Flink cluster(e.g. Yarn application) is stopped directly

by `yarn application -kill`, then the staging directory will be left behind. Since the jobmanager

do not have any change to clean up the staging directly. Also it may happen when the

jobmanager crashed and reached the attempts limit of Yarn.

 

For FLINK-13938, yes, it is trying to use the Yarn public cache to accelerate the container

Hi Yang,

Name filtering & schema special handling makes sense for me. We can enrich later if there is requirement without breaking interface.

For #1, from my perspective your first proposal is

  having an option specifies remote flink/lib, then we turn off auto uploading local flink/lib and register that path as local resources

It seems we here add another special logic for handling one kind of things...what I propose is we do these two steps explicitly separated:

1. an option turns off auto uploading local flink/lib

2. a general option register remote files as local resources

The rest thing here is that you propose we handle flink/lib as PUBLIC visibility while other files as APPLICATION visibility, whether a

composite configuration or name filtering to special handle libs makes sense though.

YarnClusterDescriptor already has a lot of special handling logics which introduce a number of config options and keys, which should

have been configured in few of common options and validated at the runtime.

Hi tison,

I think i get your concerns and points.

Take both FLINK-13938[1] and FLINK-14964[2] into account, i will do in the following steps.

* Enrich "-yt/--yarnship" to support HDFS directory

* Enrich "-yt/--yarnship" to specify local resource visibility. It is "APPLICATION" by default. It could be also configured to "PUBLIC",

which means shared by all applications, or "PRIVATE" which means shared by a same user.

* Add a new config option to control whether to optimize the submission(default is false). When configured to true, Flink client will

try to filter the jars and files by name and size to avoid unnecessary uploading.

A very rough submission command could be issued as following.

./bin/flink run -m yarn-cluster -d -yt hdfs://myhdfs/flink/release/flink-1.11:PUBLIC,hdfs://myhdfs/user/someone/mylib \

-yD yarn.submission-optimization.enable=true examples/streaming/WindowJoin.jar

cc [hidden email], since you also help to review the old PR of FLINK-13938, maybe you could also share some thoughts.

Hi Yang,

Name filtering & schema special handling makes sense for me. We can enrich later if there is requirement without breaking interface.

For #1, from my perspective your first proposal is

  having an option specifies remote flink/lib, then we turn off auto uploading local flink/lib and register that path as local resources

It seems we here add another special logic for handling one kind of things...what I propose is we do these two steps explicitly separated:

1. an option turns off auto uploading local flink/lib

2. a general option register remote files as local resources

The rest thing here is that you propose we handle flink/lib as PUBLIC visibility while other files as APPLICATION visibility, whether a

composite configuration or name filtering to special handle libs makes sense though.

YarnClusterDescriptor already has a lot of special handling logics which introduce a number of config options and keys, which should

have been configured in few of common options and validated at the runtime.

Best,

tison.

Yang Wang <[hidden email]> 于2020年4月17日周五 下午11:42写道：

Hi tison,

For #3, if you mean registering remote HDFS file as local resource, we should make the "-yt/--yarnship"

to support remote directory. I think it is the right direction.

For #1, if the users could ship remote directory, then they could also specify like this 

"-yt hdfs://hdpdev/flink/release/flink-1.x, hdfs://hdpdev/user/someone/mylib". Do you mean we add an

option for whether trying to avoid unnecessary uploading? Maybe we could filter by names and file size.

I think this is a good suggestion, and we do not need to introduce a new config option "-ypl".

For #2, for flink-dist, the #1 could already solve the problem. We do not need to support remote schema.

It will confuse the users when we only support HDFS, not S3, OSS, etc.

Best,

Yang

tison <[hidden email]> 于2020年4月17日周五 下午8:05写道：

Hi Yang,

I agree that these two of works would benefit from single assignee. My concern is as below

1. Both share libs & remote flink dist/libs are remote ship files. I don't think we have to implement multiple codepath/configuration.

2. So, for concept clarification, there are

  (1) an option to disable shipping local libs

  (2) flink-dist supports multiple schema at least we said "hdfs://"

  (3) an option for registering remote shipfiles with path & visibility. I think new configuration system helps.

the reason we have to special handling (2) instead of including it in (3) is because when shipping flink-dist to TM container, we specially detect flink-dist. Of course we can merge it into general ship files and validate shipfiles finally contain flink-dist, which is an alternative.

The *most important* difference is (1) and (3) which we don't have an option for only remote libs. Is this clarification satisfy your proposal?

Best,

tison.

Hi Yang,

from what I understand it sounds reasonable to me. Could you sync with Tison on FLINK-14964 on how to proceed. I'm not super deep into these issues but they seem to be somewhat related and Tison already did some implementation work.

I'd say it be awesome if we could include this kind of improvement into the release.

Hi All, thanks a lot for reviving this discussion.

I think we could unify the FLINK-13938 and FLINK-14964 since they have the similar

purpose, avoid unnecessary uploading and downloading jars in YARN deployment.

The difference is FLINK-13938 aims to support the flink system lib directory only, while

FLINK-14964 is trying to support arbitrary pre-uloaded jars(including user and system jars).


So i suggest to do this feature as following.
1. Upload the flink lib directory or users to hdfs, e.g. "hdfs://hdpdev/flink/release/flink-1.x"

"hdfs://hdpdev/user/someone/mylib"
2. Use the -ypl argument to specify the shared lib, multiple directories could be specified
3. YarnClusterDescriptor will use the pre-uploaded jars to avoid unnecessary uploading,

both for system and user jars
4. YarnClusterDescriptor needs to set the system jars to public visibility so that the distributed

cache in the YARN nodemanager could be reused by multiple applications. This is to avoid

unnecessary downloading, especially for the "flink-dist-*.jar". For the user shared lib, the

visibility is still set to "APPLICATION" level.


For our past internal use case, the shared lib could help with accelerating the submission a lot.

Also it helps to reduce the pressure of HDFS when we want to launch many applications together.

@tison [hidden email] [hidden email] If you guys thinks the suggestion makes sense. I

will try to find some time to work on this and hope it could catch up with release-1.1 cycle.

Yang

Hi Andreas,

 

it looks as if FLINK-13938 and FLINK-14964 won't make it into the 1.10.1 release because the community is about to start the release process. Since FLINK-13938 is a new feature it will be shipped with a major release. There is still a bit of time until the 1.11 feature freeze and if Yang Wang has time to finish this PR, then we could ship it.

This is good to know. As a stopgap measure until a solution between 13938 and 14964 arrives, we can automate the application staging directory cleanup from our client should the process fail. It’s not ideal, but will at least begin to manage our users’ quota. I’ll continue to watch the two tickets. Thank you.

Hi Hailu,

 

Sorry for the late response. If the Flink cluster(e.g. Yarn application) is stopped directly

by `yarn application -kill`, then the staging directory will be left behind. Since the jobmanager

do not have any change to clean up the staging directly. Also it may happen when the

jobmanager crashed and reached the attempts limit of Yarn.

 

For FLINK-13938, yes, it is trying to use the Yarn public cache to accelerate the container

launch.

Hi,

 

We noticed that every time an application runs, it uploads the flink-dist artifact to the /user/<user>/.flink HDFS directory. This causes a user disk space quota issue as we submit thousands of apps to our cluster an hour. We had a similar problem with our Spark applications where it uploaded the Spark Assembly package for every app. Spark provides an argument to use a location in HDFS its for applications to leverage so they don’t need to upload them for every run, and that was our solution (see “spark.yarn.jar” configuration if interested.)

 

Looking at the Resource Orchestration Frameworks page, I see there’s might be a similar concept through a “yarn.flink-dist-jar” configuration option. I wanted to place the flink-dist package we’re using in a location in HDFS and configure out jobs to point to it, e.g.

 

yarn.flink-dist-jar: hdfs:////user/delp/.flink/flink-dist_2.11-1.9.1.jar

 

Am I correct in that this is what I’m looking for? I gave this a try with some jobs today, and based on what I’m seeing in the launch_container.sh in our YARN application, it still looks like it’s being uploaded:

 

export _FLINK_JAR_PATH="hdfs://d279536/user/delp/.flink/application_1583031705852_117863/flink-dist_2.11-1.9.1.jar"

 

How can I confirm? Or is this perhaps not config I’m looking for?

 

Best,

Andreas

Shall we say for the first version we only can deactivate the upload of local files instead of doing some optimizations? I guess my problem is that I don't fully understand the optimizations yet. Maybe we introduce a power user config option `yarn.submission.automatic-flink-dist-upload` or so.

Why do we need to specify the visibility of the remote files? Won't the visibility be specified when uploading these files?

Apart from that, the proposal looks good to me.

Cheers,

Till

Am I correct in that this is what I’m looking for? I gave this a try with some jobs today, and based on what I’m seeing in the launch_container.sh in our YARN application, it still looks like it’s being uploaded:

 

export _FLINK_JAR_PATH="hdfs://d279536/user/delp/.flink/application_1583031705852_117863/flink-dist_2.11-1.9.1.jar"

 

How can I confirm? Or is this perhaps not config I’m looking for?

 

Best,

Andreas

Hi till,

Sorry for that i do not giving a detailed explanation of the optimization. Actually, the optimization contains

the following two parts.

* Use remote uploaded jars to avoid unnecessary uploading(e.g. flink-dist-*.jar, user jars, dependencies).

this could be done via enriching "-yt/--yarnship" to support remote ship files.

* Use the "PUBLIC" or "PRIVATE" visibility of YARN local resource to avoid unnecessary downloading. When

a local resource is public, once it is download by YARN NodeManager, it could be reused by all the application

in the same NodeManager.

>> Why do we need to specify the visibility of the remote files? Won't the visibility be specified when uploading these files?

It is mostly for the users who want to eliminate the unnecessary downloading so that the container could be

launched faster. "PRIVATE" means the remote jars could be shared by the applications submitted by the current user.

"PUBLIC" means the remote jars could be shared by all the Flink applications. And "APPLICATION" means they

could only be shared by the containers of the current application in a same NodeManager.

For the implementation, i think we could do it step by step.

* Enrich "-yt/--yarnship" to support HDFS directory

* Add a new config option to control whether to avoid the unnecessary uploading

* Enrich "-yt/--yarnship" to specify local resource visibility

Best,

Yang

Shall we say for the first version we only can deactivate the upload of local files instead of doing some optimizations? I guess my problem is that I don't fully understand the optimizations yet. Maybe we introduce a power user config option `yarn.submission.automatic-flink-dist-upload` or so.

Why do we need to specify the visibility of the remote files? Won't the visibility be specified when uploading these files?

Apart from that, the proposal looks good to me.

Cheers,

Till

Hi tison,

I think i get your concerns and points.

Take both FLINK-13938[1] and FLINK-14964[2] into account, i will do in the following steps.

* Enrich "-yt/--yarnship" to support HDFS directory

* Enrich "-yt/--yarnship" to specify local resource visibility. It is "APPLICATION" by default. It could be also configured to "PUBLIC",

which means shared by all applications, or "PRIVATE" which means shared by a same user.

* Add a new config option to control whether to optimize the submission(default is false). When configured to true, Flink client will

try to filter the jars and files by name and size to avoid unnecessary uploading.

A very rough submission command could be issued as following.

./bin/flink run -m yarn-cluster -d -yt hdfs://myhdfs/flink/release/flink-1.11:PUBLIC,hdfs://myhdfs/user/someone/mylib \

-yD yarn.submission-optimization.enable=true examples/streaming/WindowJoin.jar

Hi Yang,

Name filtering & schema special handling makes sense for me. We can enrich later if there is requirement without breaking interface.

For #1, from my perspective your first proposal is

  having an option specifies remote flink/lib, then we turn off auto uploading local flink/lib and register that path as local resources

It seems we here add another special logic for handling one kind of things...what I propose is we do these two steps explicitly separated:

1. an option turns off auto uploading local flink/lib

2. a general option register remote files as local resources

The rest thing here is that you propose we handle flink/lib as PUBLIC visibility while other files as APPLICATION visibility, whether a

composite configuration or name filtering to special handle libs makes sense though.

YarnClusterDescriptor already has a lot of special handling logics which introduce a number of config options and keys, which should

have been configured in few of common options and validated at the runtime.

Best,

tison.

Yang Wang <[hidden email]> 于2020年4月17日周五 下午11:42写道：

Hi tison,

For #3, if you mean registering remote HDFS file as local resource, we should make the "-yt/--yarnship"

to support remote directory. I think it is the right direction.

For #1, if the users could ship remote directory, then they could also specify like this 

"-yt hdfs://hdpdev/flink/release/flink-1.x, hdfs://hdpdev/user/someone/mylib". Do you mean we add an

option for whether trying to avoid unnecessary uploading? Maybe we could filter by names and file size.

I think this is a good suggestion, and we do not need to introduce a new config option "-ypl".

For #2, for flink-dist, the #1 could already solve the problem. We do not need to support remote schema.

It will confuse the users when we only support HDFS, not S3, OSS, etc.

Best,

Yang

tison <[hidden email]> 于2020年4月17日周五 下午8:05写道：

Hi Yang,

I agree that these two of works would benefit from single assignee. My concern is as below

1. Both share libs & remote flink dist/libs are remote ship files. I don't think we have to implement multiple codepath/configuration.

2. So, for concept clarification, there are

  (1) an option to disable shipping local libs

  (2) flink-dist supports multiple schema at least we said "hdfs://"

  (3) an option for registering remote shipfiles with path & visibility. I think new configuration system helps.

the reason we have to special handling (2) instead of including it in (3) is because when shipping flink-dist to TM container, we specially detect flink-dist. Of course we can merge it into general ship files and validate shipfiles finally contain flink-dist, which is an alternative.

The *most important* difference is (1) and (3) which we don't have an option for only remote libs. Is this clarification satisfy your proposal?

Best,

tison.

Till Rohrmann <[hidden email]> 于2020年4月17日周五 下午7:49写道：

Hi Yang,

from what I understand it sounds reasonable to me. Could you sync with Tison on FLINK-14964 on how to proceed. I'm not super deep into these issues but they seem to be somewhat related and Tison already did some implementation work.

I'd say it be awesome if we could include this kind of improvement into the release.

Cheers,

Hi All, thanks a lot for reviving this discussion.

I think we could unify the FLINK-13938 and FLINK-14964 since they have the similar

purpose, avoid unnecessary uploading and downloading jars in YARN deployment.

The difference is FLINK-13938 aims to support the flink system lib directory only, while

FLINK-14964 is trying to support arbitrary pre-uloaded jars(including user and system jars).


So i suggest to do this feature as following.
1. Upload the flink lib directory or users to hdfs, e.g. "hdfs://hdpdev/flink/release/flink-1.x"

"hdfs://hdpdev/user/someone/mylib"
2. Use the -ypl argument to specify the shared lib, multiple directories could be specified
3. YarnClusterDescriptor will use the pre-uploaded jars to avoid unnecessary uploading,

both for system and user jars
4. YarnClusterDescriptor needs to set the system jars to public visibility so that the distributed

cache in the YARN nodemanager could be reused by multiple applications. This is to avoid

unnecessary downloading, especially for the "flink-dist-*.jar". For the user shared lib, the

visibility is still set to "APPLICATION" level.


For our past internal use case, the shared lib could help with accelerating the submission a lot.

Also it helps to reduce the pressure of HDFS when we want to launch many applications together.

@tison [hidden email] [hidden email] If you guys thinks the suggestion makes sense. I

will try to find some time to work on this and hope it could catch up with release-1.1 cycle.

Best,

Yang

Hi Andreas,

 

it looks as if FLINK-13938 and FLINK-14964 won't make it into the 1.10.1 release because the community is about to start the release process. Since FLINK-13938 is a new feature it will be shipped with a major release. There is still a bit of time until the 1.11 feature freeze and if Yang Wang has time to finish this PR, then we could ship it.

 

Cheers,

Till

Hi Yang,

 

This is good to know. As a stopgap measure until a solution between 13938 and 14964 arrives, we can automate the application staging directory cleanup from our client should the process fail. It’s not ideal, but will at least begin to manage our users’ quota. I’ll continue to watch the two tickets. Thank you.

Hi Hailu,

 

Sorry for the late response. If the Flink cluster(e.g. Yarn application) is stopped directly

by `yarn application -kill`, then the staging directory will be left behind. Since the jobmanager

do not have any change to clean up the staging directly. Also it may happen when the

jobmanager crashed and reached the attempts limit of Yarn.

 

For FLINK-13938, yes, it is trying to use the Yarn public cache to accelerate the container

launch.

 

 

Best,

Yang

 

Hailu, Andreas <[hidden email]> 于2020年3月10日周二 上午4:38写道：

Also may I ask what causes these application ID directories to be left behind? Is it a job failure, or can they persist even if the application succeeds? I’d like to know so that I can implement my own cleanup in the interim to prevent exceeding user disk space quotas.

Hi Yang,

 

Yes, a combination of these two would be very helpful for us. We have a single shaded binary which we use to run all of the jobs on our YARN cluster. If we could designate a single location in HDFS for that as well, we could also greatly benefit from FLINK-13938.

 

It sounds like a general public cache solution is what’s being called for?

Hi Hailu, tison,

 

I created a very similar ticket before to accelerate Flink submission on Yarn[1]. However,

we do not get a consensus in the PR. Maybe it's time to revive the discussion and try

to find a common solution for both the two tickets[1][2].

FLINK-13938 seems a bit different than your requirement. The one totally matches is FLINK-14964. I'll appreciate it if you can share you opinion on the JIRA ticket.

Yes your requirement is exactly taken into consideration by the community. We currently have an open JIRA ticket for the specific feature[1] and works for loosing the constraint of flink-jar schema to support DFS location should happen.

Hi,

 

We noticed that every time an application runs, it uploads the flink-dist artifact to the /user/<user>/.flink HDFS directory. This causes a user disk space quota issue as we submit thousands of apps to our cluster an hour. We had a similar problem with our Spark applications where it uploaded the Spark Assembly package for every app. Spark provides an argument to use a location in HDFS its for applications to leverage so they don’t need to upload them for every run, and that was our solution (see “spark.yarn.jar” configuration if interested.)

 

Looking at the Resource Orchestration Frameworks page, I see there’s might be a similar concept through a “yarn.flink-dist-jar” configuration option. I wanted to place the flink-dist package we’re using in a location in HDFS and configure out jobs to point to it, e.g.

 

yarn.flink-dist-jar: hdfs:////user/delp/.flink/flink-dist_2.11-1.9.1.jar

 

Am I correct in that this is what I’m looking for? I gave this a try with some jobs today, and based on what I’m seeing in the launch_container.sh in our YARN application, it still looks like it’s being uploaded:

 

export _FLINK_JAR_PATH="hdfs://d279536/user/delp/.flink/application_1583031705852_117863/flink-dist_2.11-1.9.1.jar"

 

How can I confirm? Or is this perhaps not config I’m looking for?

 

Best,

Andreas
