Re: Use jvm to run flink on single-node machine with many cores

Hi all,

Thank you very much for your help. It worked perfectly like this:

Configuration conf = new Configuration();
conf.setInteger("taskmanager.network.numberOfBuffers", 16000);
conf.setInteger("taskmanager.numberOfTaskSlots”,32);
final ExecutionEnvironment env = ExecutionEnvironment.createLocalEnvironment(conf);

env.setParallelism(32);

I believe that setting taskmanager.numberOfTaskSlots is not necessary, but setParallelism is, as by default 1 was taken.

Best regards,

Ana

Note that the method to call in the example should be
`conf.setInteger` and the second argument not a String but an int.

Dear Ana,

If you are using a single machine with multiple cores, but need convenient
access to the configuration I would personally recommend using the local
cluster option in the flink distribution. [1] If you want to avoid having a
flink distro on the machine, then Robert's solution is the way to go.

Hi all,

I am trying to run a program using the flink java library with
ExecutionEnvironment.getExecutionEnvironment() from the command line using
java -jar.

If I run the code in my machine (with four cores) or in a multi-node
cluster (using yarn) the program runs normally, but if I want to run it on a
machine with a single node and 32 cores using java -jar I get the following
error:

02/21/2016 13:33:09 MapPartition (MapPartition at
toBatches(ConversionToBatches.java:55))(29/32) switched to FAILED
java.io.IOException: Insufficient number of network buffers: required 1,
but only 0 available. The total number of network buffers is currently set
to 2048. You can increase this number by setting the configuration key
'taskmanager.network.numberOfBuffers'.

In this case (java -jar), I don’t know if or how I can increase the number
of network buffers. Is there a way to do it without having to use yarn (as I
don’t have hadoop installed)?

Thanks,
Ana
