Thanks for your reply, Till

We will use without Marathon, and hope the PR is merged to latest version soon.

Best regards,

Hi Bo,

Flink uses internally Fenzo to match tasks and offers. Fenzo does not support the Marathon constraints syntax you are referring to. At the moment, Flink only allows to define hard host attribute constraints which means that you define a host attribute which has to match exactly. Fenzo also supports constraints that work on a set of tasks [1], but this is not yet exposed to the user. With that you should be able to evenly spread your tasks across multiple machines.

There is actually a PR [2] trying to add this functionality. However, it is not yet in the shape to be merged.

Cheers,

Hi Bo,

I'm not familiar with Mesos deployments, but I'll forward this to Till or Eron (in CC) who perhaps could provide some help here.

Cheers,

Hello all,
This is Bo, I met some problems when I tried to use flink in my mesos cluster (1 master, 2 slaves (cpu has 32 cores)).

I tried to start the mesos-appmaster.sh in marathon, the job manager is started without problem.

mesos-appmaster.sh -Djobmanager.heap.mb=1024 -Dtaskmanager.heap.mb=1024 -Dtaskmanager.numberOfTaskSlots=32

My problem is the task managers are all located in one single slave.

1. (log1)
The initial tasks in "/usr/local/flink/conf/flink-conf.yaml" is setted as "mesos.initial-tasks: 2"
And also set the "mesos.constraints.hard.hostattribute: rack:ak09-27", which is the master node of mesos cluster.

2. (log2)

I tried many ways to distribute the tasks to all the available slaves, and without any success.

So I decide to try add a group_by operator which I referenced from https://mesosphere.github.io/marathon/docs/constraints.html

"mesos.constraints.hard.hostattribute: rack:ak09-27,GROUP_BY:2"

According to the log, flink keep waiting for more offers and the tasks never been launched.

Sorry, I am a newbie to flink, also on mesos. Please reply if my problem is not clear, and I will be appreciate on any hint about how to distribute task evenly on available resources.

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,

Bo
