Hi, Qi

Sorry, by talking to Xintong Song offline, I made sure that some of what I said before is wrong. Please refer to Xintong's answer.

Best,

Hi Qi,

Thanks for reporting this problem. I think you are right. Starting large amount of TMs in main thread on YARN could take relative long time, causing RM to become unresponsive. In our enterprise version Blink, we actually have a thread pool for starting TMs. I think we should contribute this feature to the community version as well. I created a JIRA ticket from which you can track the progress of this issue. 

For solving your problem at the moment, I agree with Haibo that configure a larger registration timeout could be a workaround.

Hi, Qi

According to our experience, it is no problem to allocate more than 1000 containers when the registration timeout is set 5 minutes . Perhaps there are other reasons? Or you can try to increase the value of `taskmanager.registration.timeout`. For allocating containers using multi-thread, I personally think it's going to get very complicated, and the more recommended way is to put some waiting works into asynchronous processing, so as to liberate the main thread.

Best,

Hi guys,

We’re using latest version Flink YarnResourceManager, but our job startup occasionally hangs when allocating many Yarn containers (e.g. >1000). I checked the related code in YarnResourceManager as below:

It seems that it handles all allocated containers and starts TM in main thread. Thus when containers allocations are heavy, the RM thread becomes unresponsive (such as no response to TM heartbeats, see TM logs as below).

Any idea on how to better handle such case (e.g. multi-threading to handle allocated containers) would be very appreciated. Thanks!

Regards,

Qi
