Hi, We are trying to test the recovery mechanism of Flink with Kafka and HDFS sink during failures.
I’ve killed the job after processing some messages and restarted the same job again. Some of the messages I am seeing are processed more than once and not following the exactly once semantics. Also, using the checkpointing mechanism and saving the state checkpoints into HDFS. Below is the checkpoint code, envStream.enableCheckpointing(11); envStream.getCheckpointConfig().setCheckpointingMode(CheckpointingMode.EXACTLY_ONCE); envStream.getCheckpointConfig().setCheckpointTimeout(60000); envStream.getCheckpointConfig().setMaxConcurrentCheckpoints(4); envStream.setStateBackend(new FsStateBackend("hdfs://ipaddr/mount/cp/checkpoint/")); One thing I’ve noticed is lowering the time to checkpointing is actually lowering the number of messages processed more than once and 11ms is the lowest I can use. Is there anything else I should try to have exactly once message processing functionality. I am using Flink 1.0.0 and kafka 0.8 Thank you. ________________________________________________________ The information contained in this e-mail is confidential and/or proprietary to Capital One and/or its affiliates and may only be used solely in performance of work or services for Capital One.
