Hi devs, I coded up a simple iteration that uses a KeyedProcessFunction, as a way of showing how to use timers to do state iteration.
This worked fine, but then I wanted to try out checkpoints. I modified the KeyedProcessFunction to throw an exception after a fixed number of calls. When this happens, it puts my job into a loop, where restarting the job fails with a NullPointerException: 18/05/30 16:38:40 DEBUG executiongraph.ExecutionGraph:1496 - Try to restart or fail the job Flink Streaming Job (f144fd0fb301db0ae14c7b991a25b353) if no longer possible. java.lang.RuntimeException: Example of a failure triggering a job restart at com.scaleunlimited.flinksnippets.examples.IterationWithProcessFunctionTimers$MyKeyedProcessFunction.processElement(IterationWithProcessFunctionTimers.java:74) at com.scaleunlimited.flinksnippets.examples.IterationWithProcessFunctionTimers$MyKeyedProcessFunction.processElement(IterationWithProcessFunctionTimers.java:1) at org.apache.flink.streaming.api.operators.KeyedProcessOperator.processElement(KeyedProcessOperator.java:85) at org.apache.flink.streaming.runtime.io.StreamInputProcessor.processInput(StreamInputProcessor.java:202) at org.apache.flink.streaming.runtime.tasks.OneInputStreamTask.run(OneInputStreamTask.java:103) at org.apache.flink.streaming.runtime.tasks.StreamTask.invoke(StreamTask.java:306) at org.apache.flink.runtime.taskmanager.Task.run(Task.java:703) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:748) 18/05/30 16:38:40 INFO executiongraph.ExecutionGraph:1375 - Job Flink Streaming Job (f144fd0fb301db0ae14c7b991a25b353) switched from state FAILING to RESTARTING. 18/05/30 16:38:40 INFO executiongraph.ExecutionGraph:1506 - Restarting the job Flink Streaming Job (f144fd0fb301db0ae14c7b991a25b353). 18/05/30 16:38:40 WARN executiongraph.ExecutionGraph:1273 - Failed to restart the job. java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.flink.runtime.jobmanager.scheduler.CoLocationConstraint.isAssignedAndAlive(CoLocationConstraint.java:104) at org.apache.flink.runtime.jobmanager.scheduler.CoLocationGroup.resetConstraints(CoLocationGroup.java:119) at org.apache.flink.runtime.executiongraph.ExecutionGraph.restart(ExecutionGraph.java:1247) at org.apache.flink.runtime.executiongraph.restart.ExecutionGraphRestartCallback.triggerFullRecovery(ExecutionGraphRestartCallback.java:59) at org.apache.flink.runtime.executiongraph.restart.FixedDelayRestartStrategy$1.run(FixedDelayRestartStrategy.java:68) at java.util.concurrent.Executors$RunnableAdapter.call(Executors.java:511) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:266) at java.util.concurrent.ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor$ScheduledFutureTask.access$201(ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor.java:180) at java.util.concurrent.ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor$ScheduledFutureTask.run(ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor.java:293) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1142) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:617) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:748) CoLocationContraint.java:104 is this one line function: public boolean isAssignedAndAlive() { return lockedLocation != null && sharedSlot.isAlive(); } So I have to assume sharedSlot is null - I don’t know if that’s valid, or if this means that the constraint is being used before setSharedSlot() is called. In any case, this same chunk of logging output repeats immediately, ad infinitum. Is there something else I should try to track down what’s going on? Thanks, — Ken PS - checkpointing is set up via: final StreamExecutionEnvironment env = StreamExecutionEnvironment.createLocalEnvironment(2); env.setParallelism(2); env.enableCheckpointing(100L, CheckpointingMode.AT_LEAST_ONCE, true); env.getCheckpointConfig().setMinPauseBetweenCheckpoints(100L); And the skeleton of the simple workflow is: IterativeStream<String> iter = env.addSource(source).iterate(1000L); DataStream<String> updated = iter.keyBy(new MyKeySelector()).process(new MyKeyedProcessFunction()); iter.closeWith(updated).print(); -------------------------------------------- http://about.me/kkrugler +1 530-210-6378
