Motivation
Flink ETL job consumes data from Source Table and produces result to Sink Table. Source Table creates relationship with Sink Table through Flink ETL job. Flink needs a mechanism for users to report these relationships to external systems, such as meta system Datahub [1], Atlas [2] and meta store we mentioned in FLIP-276 [3].
This FLIP aims to introduce listeners interface in Flink, users can implement them to report the progress of jobs and meta data to external systems. Flink SQL and Table jobs are supported in the first stage, and DataStream will be consider in the future. The main information is as follows
1. Source and Sink information, such as table name, fields, partition keys, primary keys, watermarks, configurations
2. Job information, such as job id/name, execution mode, scheduler type, logical plan
3. Relationship between Source/Sink and jobs, such as source and sink tables for job, fields relationships in job and vertex
4. Job execution information, such as job status, checkpoints
Public Interfaces
CatalogEventListener
CatalogEventListener
listens events generated by ddl such as register catalog, create/alter/drop tables and etc. All events for CatalogEventListener
extend the basic interface CatalogEvent
and listeners can get catalog from it. Some general events for catalog/database/table are defined as follows and more events can be implemented based on the requirements in the future.
/** * Different events will be fired when a catalog/database/table is changed. The customized listener can receive these events and then do some specific operations according to the event type. */ @PublicEvolving public interface CatalogEventListener { /* Event fired after a catalog is modified. */ void onEvent(CatalogEvent catalogEvent); /* The basic class for catalog related event. */ @PublicEvolving public interface CatalogEvent { /* The catalog of the event. */ Catalog catalog(); /* The name of catalog. */ String catalogName(); } /* Event for catalog registration. */ @PublicEvolving interface RegisterCatalogEvent extends CatalogEvent { } /* Event for catalog unregistration. */ @PublicEvolving interface UnregisterCatalogEvent extends CatalogEvent { boolean ignoreIfNotExists(); } /* Event for database creation. */ @PublicEvolving interface CreateDatabaseEvent extends CatalogEvent { CatalogDatabase database(); String databaseName(); boolean ignoreIfExists(); } /* Event for dropping database. */ @PublicEvolving interface DropDatabaseEvent extends CatalogEvent { String databaseName(); boolean ignoreIfExists(); } /* Base table event, provides column list, primary keys, partition keys, watermarks and properties in CatalogBaseTable. The table can be source or sink. */ interface BaseTableEvent extends CatalogEvent { ObjectIdentifier identifier(); CatalogBaseTable table(); } /* Event for table creation. */ @PublicEvolving interface CreateTableEvent extends BaseTableEvent { boolean ignoreIfExists(); } /* Event for altering table, provides all information in old table and new table. */ @PublicEvolving interface AlterTableEvent extends BaseTableEvent { List<TableChange> tableChanges(); boolean ignoreIfExists(); } /* Event for dropping table. */ @PublicEvolving interface DropTableEvent extends BaseTableEvent { boolean ignoreIfExists(); } }
JobListener
There is an existing JobListener
which will be notified when job is submitted. Before job submission event should be added to the listener with source/sink list in the job, then users can do their customized validation such as whether a table is written by multiple jobs. JobSubmissionEvent
is created for the listener and onJobBeforeSubmitted
method is added to the listener as follows.
@PublicEvolving public interface JobListener { /* Event is fired before a job is submitted. */ void onJobPreSubmitted(JobSubmissionEvent submissionEvent); /* Event for job submission. */ @PublicEvolving public interface JobSubmissionEvent { JobID jobId(); String jobName(); JobLogicalPlan plan(); } }
JobExecutionListener
JobExecutionListener
listens to the status and checkpoint for running job in JobManager
. There is JobStatusEvent which
indicates the status of Flink job in JobStatus
, the specific event has been defined as follows and more job status event can be added base on the requirements in the future.
In addition to the job status, the JobExecutionListener
also listens for checkpoint events such as checkpoint started/completed/aborted, all checkpoint related events extend CheckpointEvent
and more events can be added in the future too.
/** * When job status is changed in job manager, it will generate job event and notify job execution listener. */ @PublicEvolving public interface JobExecutionListener { /* Event fired after job status has been changed. */ void onJobStatusChanged(JobStatusEvent jobStatusEvent); /* Event fired when a checkpoint is started/completed/aborted. */ void onCheckpoint(CheckpointEvent checkpointEvent); /* Job status event with plan. */ @PublicEvolving public interface JobStatusEvent { JobLogicalPlan plan(); JobStatus oldStatus(); JobStatus newStatus(); } /* Event for job checkpoint. */ @PublicEvolving public interface CheckpointEvent { /* Snapshot type, checkpoint or savepoint. */ String snapshotType(); long checkpoint(); @Nullable String externalSavepointLocation(); boolean isPeriodic; long timestamp(); Map<String, String> config(); } /* Checkpoint started/completed/aborted event. */ @PublicEvolving public interface CheckpointStartedEvent extends CheckpointEvent {} @PublicEvolving public interface CheckpointCompletedEvent extends CheckpointEvent {} @PublicEvolving public interface CheckpointStartedEvent extends CheckpointEvent {} }
Job Logical Plan
There is job logical plan in the events for the listeners above. Users can get the plan to report more information about the job, such as source/sink tables in the job, column relation between source/sink tables and vertex in the job. There is JobPlanVertex
which is built on JobVertex
in JobGraph
and provides basic information. In addition, JobPlanVertex also require additional information, such as schema for source/sink in Table and SQL job. Table source and sink vertexes are defined based on these basic vertexes, and datastream vertexes can be defined on them in the future.
/** * Job logical plan is built according to JobGraph. Users can get sources, sinks and the relationship between nodes from plan. */ @PublicEvolvig public interface JobLogicalPlan { JobID jobId(); String jobName(); /* Scheduler type such as Default/Adaptive/AdaptiveBatch. */ String scheduler(); /* Job execution mode, PIPELINED/PIPELINED_FORCED/BATCH/BATCH_FORCED. */ ExecutionMode executionMode(); /* Job type, BATCH or STREAMING. */ String jobType(); /* Source vertex list. */ List<JobPlanVertex> sources(); /* Sink vertex list. */ List<JobPlanVertex> sinks(); /* Get all vertex list. */ List<JobPlanVertex> getVerticesSortedTopologicallyFromSources(); /* Get specific vertex by id. */ JobPlanVertex vertex(String id); /* Vertex in job logical plan based on JobVertex. */ @PublicEvolving public interface JobPlanVertex { String id(); String name(); String operatorName(); String operatorDescription(); int parallelism(); String invokableClassName(); boolean supportsConcurrentExecutionAttempts(); List<JobPlanEdge> inputs(); } /* Edge between vertexes in the logical plan. */ @PublicEvolving public interface JobPlanEdge { JobPlanVertex source(); JobPlanVertex target(); String distribution(); String shipStrategyName(); boolean isBroadcast(); boolean isForward(); } } /* Table scan source and sink base interface, datastream source/sink vertexes can be added based on the requirements in the future. */ public interface JobPlanTableVertex extends JobPlanVertex { /* `catalog`.`database`.`table` for scan source. */ ObjectIdentifier table(); /* For Scan source, the type is Values or Table; for sink, the type is CollectSink or ModifySink. */ String type(); /* Table options. */ Map<String, String> config(); /* For scan source, column list consumed by job; for sink, column list produced by job. */ List<JobTableColumn> columns(); /* Column with name and type in the table. */ public interface JobTableColumn extends Serializable { String name(); LogicalType type(); } /* Table scan source vertex. */ @PublicEvolving public interface JobPlanTableSourceVertex extends JobPlanTableVertex {} /* Table sink vertex. */ @PublicEvolving public interface JobPlanTableSinkVertex extends JobPlanTableVertex { /* Modify type, INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE. */ String modifyType(); /* Update mode, APPEND/RETRACT/UPSERT. */ String updateMode(); boolean overwrite(); Map<String, String> staticPartitions(); } }
Config Customized Listener
Users should add their listeners to the classpath of client and flink cluster, and config them in the following options
# Config catalog event listeners. table.catalog.listeners: {job catalog listener class1},{job catalog listener class2} # Existing config job submission listeners. execution.job-listeners: {job submission listener class1},{job submission listener class2} # Config job execution listeners. jobmanager.execution.listeners: {job execution listener class1},{job execution listener class2}
Proposed Changes
Changes for JobDeploymentListener
TableEnvironmentImpl
creates customized JobDeploymentListener
according to the option table.job.deployment.listeners
, and put the listener into CatalogManager
and AbstractCatalog
. TableEnvironmentImpl
can receive existing listeners in constructor with CatalogManager
too, which can be used in some other classes such sql gateway. When DDL related operations are executed in CatalogManager
and AbstractCatalog
, they should notify the listener.
TableEnvironmentImpl
will submit the job after it is created, it notifies the listener before and after the job is submitted.
Changes for JobExecutionListener
Flink sql or table jobs are created from Planner
which contains exec nodes, then it is converted to Operation
, Transformation
and StreamGraph
. Finally, the jobs are submitted as JobGraph
and job managers create ExecutionGraph
from it. The operations of source/sink list are as follows.
SourceScan
in Planner
contains source information such as table name, fields and configurations. But these information is hidden in the Source
which is an interface when the SourceScan
is converted to Transformation
. We should add source information in the conversion of SourceScan
->Operation->Transformation
->StreamNode
.
Similar to sources, Sink
and DataStreamSink
contain sink information such as table names and configuration. We should add sink information in the conversion of Sink
->Operation->Transformation
->StreamNode
, then we can add Map<JobVertexID, JobSinkVertexInfo> sources
in JobGraph
and ExecutionGraph
too.
After completing the above changes, JobManager
can create JobLogicalPlanInfo
from JobGraph
for JobExecutionListener
. When the status of job is changed, DefaultExecutionGraph
in JobManager
will notify the listener. At the same time, this listener will also listen to the execution of checkpoint. When CheckpointCoordinator
starts/completes/aborts a specific checkpoint, it will notify the listener too.
Plan For The Future
- We add column relationships between job vertex in JobLogicalPlanInfo, but it is not supported in Flink at present. We'd like to implement them in the next FLIP.
Source/Sink relationships for SQL/Table jobs are supported,
DataStream
jobs will be supported later.Currently we only supports scan source, lookup join source should be supported later.
Add Job vertex listener for batch mode, such as scheduling and execution status of vertex, execution status of subtask, etc.
