Why does Flink do resource management by only slots, not by TaskManagers and slots?
If there are one Flink cluster to submit multiple jobs, how do I make JobManager to distribute subtasks evenly to all TaskManagers? Now, JobManager treats the slots globally, some jobs' operators are assigned only one TM's slots. For example: 3 TaskManager (taskmanager.numberOfTaskSlots: 8) = total 24 slots env .setParallelism(6) .addSource(sourceFunction) .partitionCustom(partitioner, keySelector) .map(mapper) .addSink(sinkFunction); env.execute(job1); env .setParallelism(12) .addSource(sourceFunction) .partitionCustom(partitioner, keySelector) .map(mapper) .addSink(sinkFunction); env.execute(job2); env .setParallelism(6) .addSource(sourceFunction) .partitionCustom(partitioner, keySelector) .map(mapper) .addSink(sinkFunction); env.execute(job3); Intented : TM1 TM2 TM3 -------------- job1-source 2 2 2 job1-map-sink 2 2 2 job2-source 4 4 4 job2-map-sink 4 4 4 job3-source 2 2 2 job3-map-sink 2 2 2 Because each job is under the stress at unpredictable time, it is important to use all available resource per each job. We made three clusters (6, 6, 12 each total slots) as a temporary, but it's not pretty way. Best, Sunny ᐧ
