Configuration

Configuration #

Specifying Operator Configuration #

The operator allows users to specify default configuration that will be shared by the Flink operator itself and the Flink deployments.

These configuration files are mounted externally via ConfigMaps. The Configuration files with default values are shipped in the Helm chart. It is recommended to review and adjust them if needed in the values.yaml file before deploying the Operator in production environments.

To append to the default configuration, define the flink-conf.yaml key in the defaultConfiguration section of the Helm values.yaml file:

defaultConfiguration:
  create: true
  # Set append to false to replace configuration files
  append: true
  flink-conf.yaml: |+
    # Flink Config Overrides
    kubernetes.operator.metrics.reporter.slf4j.factory.class: org.apache.flink.metrics.slf4j.Slf4jReporterFactory
    kubernetes.operator.metrics.reporter.slf4j.interval: 5 MINUTE

    kubernetes.operator.reconcile.interval: 15 s
    kubernetes.operator.observer.progress-check.interval: 5 s

To learn more about metrics and logging configuration please refer to the dedicated docs page.

The operator also supports default configuration overrides for selected Flink versions and namespaces. This can be important if some behaviour changed across Flink versions or we want to treat certain namespaces differently (such as reconcile it more or less frequently etc).

# Flink Version specific defaults 
kubernetes.operator.default-configuration.flink-version.v1_17.k1: v1
kubernetes.operator.default-configuration.flink-version.v1_17.k2: v2
kubernetes.operator.default-configuration.flink-version.v1_17.k3: v3

# Namespace specific defaults
kubernetes.operator.default-configuration.namespace.ns1.k1: v1
kubernetes.operator.default-configuration.namespace.ns1.k2: v2
kubernetes.operator.default-configuration.namespace.ns2.k1: v1

Flink version specific defaults will have a higher precedence so namespace defaults would be overridden by the same key.

Dynamic Operator Configuration #

The Kubernetes operator supports dynamic config changes through the operator ConfigMaps. Dynamic operator configuration is enabled by default, and can be disabled by setting kubernetes.operator.dynamic.config.enabled to false. Time interval for checking dynamic config changes is specified by kubernetes.operator.dynamic.config.check.interval of which default value is 5 minutes.

Verify whether dynamic operator configuration updates is enabled via the deploy/flink-kubernetes-operator log has:

2022-05-28 13:08:29,222 o.a.f.k.o.c.FlinkConfigManager [INFO ] Enabled dynamic config updates, checking config changes every PT5M

To change config values dynamically the ConfigMap can be directly edited via kubectl patch or kubectl edit command. For example to change the reschedule interval you can override kubernetes.operator.reconcile.interval.

Verify whether the config value of kubernetes.operator.reconcile.interval is updated to 30 seconds via the deploy/flink-kubernetes-operator log has:

2022-05-28 13:08:30,115 o.a.f.k.o.c.FlinkConfigManager [INFO ] Updating default configuration to {kubernetes.operator.reconcile.interval=PT30S}

Leader Election and High Availability #

The operator supports high availability through leader election and standby operator instances. To enable leader election you need to add the following two mandatory operator configuration parameters.

kubernetes.operator.leader-election.enabled: true
kubernetes.operator.leader-election.lease-name: flink-operator-lease

Lease name must be unique in the current lease namespace. For other more advanced config parameters please refer to the configuration reference.

Once you enabled leader election you can increase the replicas for the operator Deployment using the Helm chart to enable high availability.

If replicas value is greater than 1, you can define topologySpreadConstraints via operatorPod.topologySpreadConstraints.

Environment variables #

The operator exposes several environment variables which can be used for custom plugins.

Name Description FieldRef
HOST_IP The host which the pod is deployed on status.hostIP
POD_IP Pod IP status.podIP
POD_NAME Pod Name metadata.name

(none) Duration If no checkpoints are completed within the defined time window, the job is considered unhealthy. The minimum window size is `max(checkpointingInterval, checkpointTimeout) * (tolerableCheckpointFailures + 2)`, which also serves as the default value when checkpointing is enabled. For example with checkpoint interval 10 minutes and 0 tolerable failures, the default progress check window will be 20 minutes.
kubernetes.operator.cluster.health-check.enabled
false Boolean Whether to enable health check for clusters.

NOTE: checkpoints are generally managed by Flink. This setting isn't meant to replace Flink's checkpoint settings, but to complement them in special cases. For instance, a full checkpoint might need to be occasionally triggered to break the chain of incremental checkpoints and consolidate the partial incremental files. WARNING: not intended to be used together with the cron-based periodic checkpoint triggering
kubernetes.operator.periodic.savepoint.interval
(none) String Option to enable automatic savepoint triggering. Can be specified either as a Duration type (i.e. '10m') or as a cron expression in Quartz format (6 or 7 positions, see http://www.quartz-scheduler.org/documentation/quartz-2.3.0/tutorials/crontrigger.html).The triggering schedule is not guaranteed, savepoints will be triggered as part of the regular reconcile loop.

Autoscaler Configuration #

Like other resource options these can be configured on both an operator and a per-resource level. When set under spec.flinkConfiguration for the Flink resources it will override the default value provided in the operator default configuration (flink-conf.yaml).

Note: The option prefix kubernetes.operator. was removed in FLIP-334, because the autoscaler module was decoupled from flink-kubernetes-operator.

job.autoscaler.metrics.busy-time.aggregator
MAX

Enum

Metric aggregator to use for busyTime metrics. This affects how true processing/output rate will be computed. Using max allows us to handle jobs with data skew more robustly, while avg may provide better stability when we know that the load distribution is even.

If set to true, the maximum restart duration over a number of samples will be used. The value of 'job.autoscaler.restart.time-tracking.limit' will act as an upper bound, and the value of 'job.autoscaler.restart.time' will still be used when there are no rescale samples.

Delayed rescale can merge multiple scale downs within `scale-down.interval` into a scale down, thereby reducing the number of rescales. Reducing the frequency of job restarts can improve job availability. Scale down can be executed directly if it's less than or equal 0.

job.autoscaler.scaling.enabled
true Boolean Enable vertex scaling execution by the autoscaler. If disabled, the autoscaler will only collect metrics and evaluate the suggested parallelism for each vertex but will not upgrade the jobs.
job.autoscaler.scaling.event.interval
30 min Duration Time interval to resend the identical event

5 min Duration Stabilization period in which no new scaling will be executed
job.autoscaler.target.utilization
0.7 Double Target vertex utilization
job.autoscaler.target.utilization.boundary
0.3 Double Target vertex utilization boundary. Scaling won't be performed if the processing capacity is within [target_rate / (target_utilization - boundary), (target_rate / (target_utilization + boundary)]
job.autoscaler.vertex.exclude.ids
List<String> A (semicolon-separated) list of vertex ids in hexstring for which to disable scaling. Caution: For non-sink vertices this will still scale their downstream operators until https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-31215 is implemented.
job.autoscaler.vertex.max-parallelism
200 Integer The maximum parallelism the autoscaler can use. Note that this limit will be ignored if it is higher than the max parallelism configured in the Flink config or directly on each operator.
job.autoscaler.vertex.min-parallelism
