Using Flink Query Interface (Graphic web-based)

[Anirvan BASU]

Hello all,

We are running Flink (0.6) on our research grid Grid'5000 which generally does not offer http access.

I finally got to hack and use the web-based graphic interface (which could be very interesting to show in a demo planned at EIT-ICT Labs at Helsinki).

Hence, I have some questions regarding the fields in the form of the main page (launch.html).
There are 2 fields:
- Select program:
How to use this - for example for jarfiles (programs) in examples directory - should they appear as a pull-down menu automatically ? Or will programs appear in the list ONLY after they are run first time elsewhere (for e.g. on command line interface ?

- Select a new program to upload:
If I upload a new jarfile to run, how do I then pass arguments and files to this program ? Is it possible or is this limited ONLY to programs without any arguments passed ?

Thanks in advance for all your replies and advice,
Anirvan

Hi Anirvan,

you need to upload a program jar-file before you can execute it (via the "Select a program to upload" field). No program is available without uploading it first.

After uploading, the program will appear in the column on the left-hand side.

Check the box next to it to select it and give program parameters in the arguments box (bottom left).

Then hit the "Run Job" button next to it.

Best, Fabian
