Flink Doris Connector

Flink Doris Connector

  • Flink Doris Connector can support data stored in Doris through Flink operations (read, insert, modify, delete). This document introduces how to operate Doris through Datastream and SQL through Flink.

Note:

  1. Modification and deletion are only supported on the Unique Key model
  2. The current deletion is to support Flink CDC to access data to achieve automatic deletion. If it is to delete other data access methods, you need to implement it yourself. For the data deletion usage of Flink CDC, please refer to the last section of this document

Remark

  1. Please replace the corresponding Connector and Flink dependent versions according to different Flink versions.

  2. You can also download the relevant version jar package from here.

compile​

When compiling, you can run sh build.sh directly. For details, please refer to here.

After the compilation is successful, the target jar package will be generated in the dist directory, such as: flink-doris-connector-1.5.0-SNAPSHOT.jar. Copy this file to classpath of Flink to use Flink-Doris-Connector. For example, Flink running in Local mode, put this file in the lib/ folder. Flink running in Yarn cluster mode, put this file into the pre-deployment package.

####DataStream

DorisSink writes data to Doris through StreamLoad, and DataStream supports different serialization methods when writing

String data stream (SimpleStringSerializer)

table.identifier--YDoris table name, such as: db.tbl
username--Yusername to access Doris
password--YPassword to access Doris
auto-redirecttrueNWhether to redirect StreamLoad requests. After being turned on, StreamLoad will be written through FE, and BE information will no longer be displayed.

KeyDefault ValueRequiredComment
doris.request.query.timeout.s3600NThe timeout time for querying Doris, the default value is 1 hour, -1 means no timeout limit
doris.request.tablet.sizeInteger. MAX_VALUENThe number of Doris Tablets corresponding to a Partition. The smaller this value is set, the more Partitions will be generated. This improves the parallelism on the Flink side, but at the same time puts more pressure on Doris.
doris.batch.size1024NThe maximum number of rows to read data from BE at a time. Increasing this value reduces the number of connections established between Flink and Doris. Thereby reducing the additional time overhead caused by network delay.
doris.exec.mem.limit2147483648NMemory limit for a single query. The default is 2GB, in bytes
doris.deserialize.arrow.asyncFALSENWhether to support asynchronous conversion of Arrow format to RowBatch needed for flink-doris-connector iterations
doris.deserialize.queue.size64NAsynchronous conversion of internal processing queue in Arrow format, effective when doris.deserialize.arrow.async is true
doris.read.field--NRead the list of column names of the Doris table, separated by commas
doris.filter.query--NThe expression to filter the read data, this expression is transparently passed to Doris. Doris uses this expression to complete source-side data filtering. For example age=18.

Sink configuration items​

KeyDefault ValueRequiredComment
sink.label-prefix--YThe label prefix used by Stream load import. In the 2pc scenario, global uniqueness is required to ensure Flink's EOS semantics.
sink.properties.*--NImport parameters for Stream Load.
For example: 'sink.properties.column_separator' = ', ' defines column delimiters, 'sink.properties.escape_delimiters' = 'true' special characters as delimiters, '\x01' will be converted to binary 0x01

JSON format import
'sink.properties.format' = 'json' 'sink.properties. read_json_by_line' = 'true'
Detailed parameters refer to here.
sink.enable-deleteTRUENWhether to enable delete. This option requires the Doris table to enable the batch delete function (Doris 0.15+ version is enabled by default), and only supports the Unique model.
sink.enable-2pcTRUENWhether to enable two-phase commit (2pc), the default is true, to ensure Exactly-Once semantics. For two-phase commit, please refer to here.
sink.buffer-size1MBNThe size of the write data cache buffer, in bytes. It is not recommended to modify, the default configuration is enough
sink.buffer-count3NThe number of write data buffers. It is not recommended to modify, the default configuration is enough
sink.max-retries3NMaximum number of retries after Commit failure, default 3
sink.use-cachefalseNIn case of an exception, whether to use the memory cache for recovery. When enabled, the data during the Checkpoint period will be retained in the cache.
sink.enable.batch-modefalseNWhether to use the batch mode to write to Doris. After it is enabled, the writing timing does not depend on Checkpoint. The writing is controlled through the sink.buffer-flush.max-rows/sink.buffer-flush.max-bytes/sink.buffer-flush.interval parameter. Enter the opportunity.
After being turned on at the same time, Exactly-once semantics will not be guaranteed. Uniq model can be used to achieve idempotence.

Use FlinkCDC to update Key column​

Generally, in a business database, the number is used as the primary key of the table, such as the Student table, the number (id) is used as the primary key, but with the development of the business, the number corresponding to the data may change. In this scenario, using FlinkCDC + Doris Connector to synchronize data can automatically update the data in the Doris primary key column.

Principle​

The underlying collection tool of Flink CDC is Debezium. Debezium internally uses the op field to identify the corresponding operation: the values of the op field are c, u, d, and r, corresponding to create, update, delete, and read. For the update of the primary key column, FlinkCDC will send DELETE and INSERT events downstream, and after the data is synchronized to Doris, it will automatically update the data of the primary key column.

Example​

The Flink program can refer to the CDC synchronization example above. After the task is successfully submitted, execute the Update primary key column statement (update student set id = '1002' where id = '1001') on the MySQL side to modify the data in Doris .

Generally, messages in Kafka use specific fields to mark the operation type, such as {"op_type":"delete",data:{...}}. For this type of data, it is hoped that the data with op_type=delete will be deleted.

By default, DorisSink will distinguish the type of event based on RowKind. Usually, in the case of cdc, the event type can be obtained directly, and the hidden column __DORIS_DELETE_SIGN__ is assigned to achieve the purpose of deletion, while Kafka needs to be based on business logic. Judgment, display the value passed in to the hidden column.

Example​

-- Such as upstream data: {"op_type":"delete",data:{"id":1,"name":"zhangsan"}}
CREATE TABLE KAFKA_SOURCE(
data STRING,
op_type STRING
) WITH (
'connector' = 'kafka',
...
);

CREATE TABLE DORIS_SINK(
id INT,
name STRING,
__DORIS_DELETE_SIGN__ INT
) WITH (
'connector' = 'doris',
'fenodes' = '127.0.0.1:8030',
'table.identifier' = 'db.table',
'username' = 'root',
'password' = '',
'sink.enable-delete' = 'false', -- false means not to get the event type from RowKind
'sink.properties.columns' = 'id, name, __DORIS_DELETE_SIGN__' -- Display the import column of the specified streamload

Best Practices​

Application scenarios​

The most suitable scenario for using Flink Doris Connector is to synchronize source data to Doris (Mysql, Oracle, PostgreSQL) in real time/batch, etc., and use Flink to perform joint analysis on data in Doris and other data sources. You can also use Flink Doris Connector

Other​

  1. The Flink Doris Connector mainly relies on Checkpoint for streaming writing, so the interval between Checkpoints is the visible delay time of the data.
  2. To ensure the Exactly Once semantics of Flink, the Flink Doris Connector enables two-phase commit by default, and Doris enables two-phase commit by default after version 1.1. 1.0 can be enabled by modifying the BE parameters, please refer to two_phase_commit.

FAQ​

  1. After Doris Source finishes reading data, why does the stream end?

Currently Doris Source is a bounded stream and does not support CDC reading.

  1. Can Flink read Doris and perform conditional pushdown?

By configuring the doris.filter.query parameter, refer to the configuration section for details.

  1. How to write Bitmap type?
CREATE TABLE bitmap_sink (
dt int,
page string,
user_id int
)
WITH (
'connector' = 'doris',
'fenodes' = '127.0.0.1:8030',
'table.identifier' = 'test.bitmap_test',
'username' = 'root',
'password' = '',
'sink.label-prefix' = 'doris_label',
'sink.properties.columns' = 'dt,page,user_id,user_id=to_bitmap(user_id)'
)
  1. errCode = 2, detailMessage = Label [label_0_1] has already been used, relate to txn [19650]

In the Exactly-Once scenario, the Flink Job must be restarted from the latest Checkpoint/Savepoint, otherwise the above error will be reported. When Exactly-Once is not required, it can also be solved by turning off 2PC commits (sink.enable-2pc=false) or changing to a different sink.label-prefix.

  1. errCode = 2, detailMessage = transaction [19650] not found

Occurred in the Commit phase, the transaction ID recorded in the checkpoint has expired on the FE side, and the above error will occur when committing again at this time. At this time, it cannot be started from the checkpoint, and the expiration time can be extended by modifying the streaming_label_keep_max_second configuration in fe.conf, which defaults to 12 hours.

  1. errCode = 2, detailMessage = current running txns on db 10006 is 100, larger than limit 100

This is because the concurrent import of the same library exceeds 100, which can be solved by adjusting the parameter max_running_txn_num_per_db of fe.conf. For details, please refer to max_running_txn_num_per_db

At the same time, if a task frequently modifies the label and restarts, it may also cause this error. In the 2pc scenario (Duplicate/Aggregate model), the label of each task needs to be unique, and when restarting from the checkpoint, the Flink task will actively abort the txn that has been successfully precommitted before and has not been committed. Frequently modifying the label and restarting will cause a large number of txn that have successfully precommitted to fail to be aborted, occupying the transaction. Under the Unique model, 2pc can also be turned off, which can realize idempotent writing.

  1. How to ensure the order of a batch of data when Flink writes to the Uniq model?

You can add sequence column configuration to ensure that, for details, please refer to sequence

  1. The Flink task does not report an error, but the data cannot be synchronized?

Before Connector1.1.0, it was written in batches, and the writing was driven by data. It was necessary to determine whether there was data written upstream. After 1.1.0, it depends on Checkpoint, and Checkpoint must be enabled to write.

  1. tablet writer write failed, tablet_id=190958, txn_id=3505530, err=-235

It usually occurs before Connector1.1.0, because the writing frequency is too fast, resulting in too many versions. The frequency of Streamload can be reduced by setting the sink.batch.size and sink.batch.interval parameters.

  1. Flink imports dirty data, how to skip it?

When Flink imports data, if there is dirty data, such as field format, length, etc., it will cause StreamLoad to report an error, and Flink will continue to retry at this time. If you need to skip, you can disable the strict mode of StreamLoad (strict_mode=false, max_filter_ratio=1) or filter the data before the Sink operator.

  1. How should the source table and Doris table correspond? When using Flink Connector to import data, pay attention to two aspects. The first is that the columns and types of the source table correspond to the columns and types in flink sql; the second is that the columns and types in flink sql must match those of the doris table For the correspondence between columns and types, please refer to the above "Doris & Flink Column Type Mapping" for details

  2. TApplicationException: get_next failed: out of sequence response: expected 4 but got 3

This is due to concurrency bugs in the Thrift. It is recommended that you use the latest connector and compatible Flink version possible.

  1. DorisRuntimeException: Fail to abort transaction 26153 with url http://192.168.0.1:8040/api/table_name/_stream_load_2pc

You can search for the log abort transaction response in TaskManager and determine whether it is a client issue or a server issue based on the HTTP return code.

  1. org.apache.flink.table.api.SqlParserException when using doris.filter.query: SQL parsing failed. "xx" encountered at row x, column xx

This problem is mainly caused by the conditional varchar/string type, which needs to be quoted. The correct way to write it is xxx = ''xxx''. In this way, the Flink SQL parser will interpret two consecutive single quotes as one single quote character instead of The end of the string, and the concatenated string is used as the value of the attribute. For example: t1 >= '2024-01-01' can be written as 'doris.filter.query' = 't1 >=''2024-01-01'''.

  1. Failed to connect to backend: http://host:webserver_port, and BE is still alive

The issue may have occurred due to configuring the IP address of be, which is not reachable by the external Flink cluster.This is mainly because when connecting to fe, the address of be is resolved through fe. For instance, if you add a be address as '127.0.0.1', the be address obtained by the Flink cluster through fe will be '127.0.0.1:webserver_port', and Flink will connect to that address. When this issue arises, you can resolve it by adding the actual corresponding external IP address of the be to the "with" attribute:'benodes'="be_ip:webserver_port,be_ip:webserver_port...".For the entire database synchronization, the following properties are available--sink-conf benodes=be_ip:webserver,be_ip:webserver....

  1. When using Flink-connector to synchronize MySQL data to Doris, there is a time difference of several hours between the timestamp.

Flink Connector synchronizes the entire database from MySQL with a default timezone of UTC+8. If your data resides in a different timezone, you can adjust it using the following configuration, for example: --mysql-conf debezium.date.format.timestamp.zone="UTC+3".
