Set Up with Kubernetes
This section provides a quick guide to using SeaTunnel with Kubernetes.
Prerequisites
We assume that you have a local installations of the following:
So that the kubectl
and helm
commands are available on your local system.
For kubernetes minikube is our choice, at the time of writing this we are using version v1.23.3. You can start a cluster with the following command:
minikube start --kubernetes-version=v1.23.3
Installation
SeaTunnel docker image
To run the image with SeaTunnel, first create a Dockerfile
:
- Flink
FROM flink:1.13
ENV SEATUNNEL_VERSION="2.1.2"
ENV SEATUNNEL_HOME = "/opt/seatunnel"
RUN mkdir -p $SEATUNNEL_HOME
RUN wget https://archive.apache.org/dist/incubator/seatunnel/${SEATUNNEL_VERSION}/apache-seatunnel-incubating-${SEATUNNEL_VERSION}-bin.tar.gz
RUN tar -xzvf apache-seatunnel-incubating-${SEATUNNEL_VERSION}-bin.tar.gz
RUN cp -r apache-seatunnel-incubating-${SEATUNNEL_VERSION}/* $SEATUNNEL_HOME/
RUN rm -rf apache-seatunnel-incubating-${SEATUNNEL_VERSION}*
RUN rm -rf $SEATUNNEL_HOME/connectors/spark
Then run the following commands to build the image:
docker build -t seatunnel:2.1.2-flink-1.13 -f Dockerfile .
Image seatunnel:2.1.2-flink-1.13
need to be present in the host (minikube) so that the deployment can take place.
Load image to minikube via:
minikube image load seatunnel:2.1.2-flink-1.13
Deploying the operator
- Flink
The steps below provide a quick walk-through on setting up the Flink Kubernetes Operator.
Install the certificate manager on your Kubernetes cluster to enable adding the webhook component (only needed once per Kubernetes cluster):
kubectl create -f https://github.com/jetstack/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.7.1/cert-manager.yaml
Now you can deploy the latest stable Flink Kubernetes Operator version using the included Helm chart:
helm repo add flink-operator-repo https://downloads.apache.org/flink/flink-kubernetes-operator-0.1.0/
helm install flink-kubernetes-operator flink-operator-repo/flink-kubernetes-operator
You may verify your installation via kubectl
:
kubectl get pods
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
flink-kubernetes-operator-5f466b8549-mgchb 1/1 Running 3 (23h ago) 16d
Run SeaTunnel Application
Run Application:: SeaTunnel already providers out-of-the-box configurations.
- Flink
In this guide we are going to use flink.streaming.conf:
env {
execution.parallelism = 1
}
source {
FakeSourceStream {
result_table_name = "fake"
field_name = "name,age"
}
}
transform {
sql {
sql = "select name,age from fake"
}
}
sink {
ConsoleSink {}
}
This configuration need to be present when we are going to deploy the application (SeaTunnel) to Flink cluster (on Kubernetes), we also need to configure a Pod to Use a PersistentVolume for Storage.
- Create
/mnt/data
on your Node. Open a shell to the single Node in your cluster. How you open a shell depends on how you set up your cluster. For example, in our case weare using Minikube, you can open a shell to your Node by enteringminikube ssh
. In your shell on that Node, create a /mnt/data directory:
minikube ssh
# This assumes that your Node uses "sudo" to run commands
# as the superuser
sudo mkdir /mnt/data
- Copy application (SeaTunnel) configuration files to your Node.
minikube cp flink.streaming.conf /mnt/data/flink.streaming.conf
Once the Flink Kubernetes Operator is running as seen in the previous steps you are ready to submit a Flink (SeaTunnel) job:
- Create
seatunnel-flink.yaml
FlinkDeployment manifest:
apiVersion: flink.apache.org/v1alpha1
kind: FlinkDeployment
metadata:
namespace: default
name: seatunnel-flink-streaming-example
spec:
image: seatunnel:2.1.2-flink-1.13
flinkVersion: v1_14
flinkConfiguration:
taskmanager.numberOfTaskSlots: "2"
serviceAccount: flink
jobManager:
replicas: 1
resource:
memory: "2048m"
cpu: 1
taskManager:
resource:
memory: "2048m"
cpu: 2
podTemplate:
spec:
containers:
- name: flink-main-container
volumeMounts:
- mountPath: /data
name: config-volume
volumes:
- name: config-volume
hostPath:
path: "/mnt/data"
type: Directory
job:
jarURI: local:///opt/seatunnel/lib/seatunnel-core-flink.jar
entryClass: org.apache.seatunnel.core.flink.SeatunnelFlink
args: ["--config", "/data/flink.streaming.conf"]
parallelism: 2
upgradeMode: stateless
- Run the example application:
kubectl apply -f seatunnel-flink.yaml
See The Output
- Flink
You may follow the logs of your job, after a successful startup (which can take on the order of a minute in a fresh environment, seconds afterwards) you can:
kubectl logs -f deploy/seatunnel-flink-streaming-example
To expose the Flink Dashboard you may add a port-forward rule:
kubectl port-forward svc/seatunnel-flink-streaming-example-rest 8081
Now the Flink Dashboard is accessible at localhost:8081.
Or launch minikube dashboard
for a web-based Kubernetes user interface.
The content printed in the TaskManager Stdout log:
kubectl logs \
-l 'app in (seatunnel-flink-streaming-example), component in (taskmanager)' \
--tail=-1 \
-f
looks like the below (your content may be different since we use FakeSourceStream
to automatically generate random stream data):
+I[Kid Xiong, 1650316786086]
+I[Ricky Huo, 1650316787089]
+I[Ricky Huo, 1650316788089]
+I[Ricky Huo, 1650316789090]
+I[Kid Xiong, 1650316790090]
+I[Kid Xiong, 1650316791091]
+I[Kid Xiong, 1650316792092]
To stop your job and delete your FlinkDeployment you can simply:
kubectl delete -f seatunnel-flink.yaml
Happy SeaTunneling!
What's More
For now, you are already taking a quick look at SeaTunnel, you could see connector to find all source and sink SeaTunnel supported. Or see deployment if you want to submit your application in another kind of your engine cluster.
