Tamir Sagi created FLINK-31140: ---------------------------------- Summary: Load additional dependencies in Operator classpath Key: FLINK-31140 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-31140 Project: Flink Issue Type: Improvement Components: Kubernetes Operator Reporter: Tamir Sagi
To date is is not possible to add additional jars to operator classpath. In our case, We have a custom layout which need to work with IAM authentication and SSL against AWS MSK. log4j.properties file {code:java} appender.kafka.type = Kafka appender.kafka.name = Kafka appender.kafka.bootstrap.servers = <brokers> appender.kafka.topic = <topic> appender.kafka.security.protocol = SASL_SSL appender.kafka.sasl.mechanism = AWS_MSK_IAM appender.kafka.sasl.jaas.config = software.amazon.msk.auth.iam.IAMLoginModule required; appender.kafka.sasl.client.callback.handler.class = software.amazon.msk.auth.iam.IAMClientCallbackHandler appender.kafka.layout.type = CustomJsonLayout appender.kafka.layout.class = our.package.layouts.CustomJsonLayout appender.kafka.layout.service_name = <service-name>{code} if CustomLayout is not present in classpath the logger fails to start. main ERROR Could not create plugin of type class org.apache.logging.log4j.core.appender.KafkaAppender for element Console: java.lang.NullPointerException java.lang.NullPointerException furthermore, we need to add all the essential AWS dependencies. To support additional jar we need to add them and then replace the following lines [https://github.com/apache/flink-kubernetes-operator/blob/main/docker-entrypoint.sh#L32] [https://github.com/apache/flink-kubernetes-operator/blob/main/docker-entrypoint.sh#L37] using 'sed' command {code:java} ENV USER_DEPENDENCIES_DIR=/opt/flink/dependencies COPY target/$LOGGER_JAR $USER_DEPENDENCIES_DIR USER root RUN sed -i 's/java -cp /java -cp $USER_DEPENDENCIES_DIR/*:/' /docker-entrypoint.sh USER flink{code} It works great but it should not be handled that way. The idea of that ticket is to allow users to add additional jars into specific location which is added to classpath while launching Kubernetes operator. I'd like to add the 'USER_DEPENDENCIES_DIR' ENV and create that folder as well in root Dockerfile. along with minor modification in docker-entrypoint.sh (Add $USER_DEPENDENCIES_DIR to 'cp' command) I tested it locally and it seems to be working. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
