Quick Start With Flink

Step 1: Deploy SeaTunnel And Connectors​

Before starting, make sure you have downloaded and deployed SeaTunnel as described in Deployment

Please Download Flink first(required version >= 1.12.0). For more information you can see Getting Started: Standalone

Configure SeaTunnel: Change the setting in ${SEATUNNEL_HOME}/config/seatunnel-env.sh and set FLINK_HOME to the Flink deployment dir.

Step 3: Add Job Config File To Define A Job​

Edit config/v2.streaming.conf.template, which determines the way and logic of data input, processing, and output after seatunnel is started. The following is an example of the configuration file, which is the same as the example application mentioned above.

env {
parallelism = 1
job.mode = "BATCH"
}

source {
FakeSource {
result_table_name = "fake"
row.num = 16
schema = {
fields {
name = "string"
age = "int"
}
}
}
}

transform {
FieldMapper {
source_table_name = "fake"
result_table_name = "fake1"
field_mapper = {
age = age
name = new_name
}
}
}

sink {
Console {
source_table_name = "fake1"
}
}

More information about config please check Config Concept

Step 4: Run SeaTunnel Application​

You can start the application by the following commands:

Flink version between 1.12.x and 1.14.x

cd "apache-seatunnel-${version}"
./bin/start-seatunnel-flink-13-connector-v2.sh --config ./config/v2.streaming.conf.template

Flink version between 1.15.x and 1.16.x

cd "apache-seatunnel-${version}"
./bin/start-seatunnel-flink-15-connector-v2.sh --config ./config/v2.streaming.conf.template

See The Output: When you run the command, you can see its output in your console. This is a sign to determine whether the command ran successfully or not.

The SeaTunnel console will print some logs as below:

fields : name, age
types : STRING, INT
row=1 : elWaB, 1984352560
