Configuring Flink

Desribes how to configure Flink.

Flink Overview

The default configuration directory is in:

/opt/mapr/flink/flink-<version>/conf

This path can be changed with FLINK_CONF_DIR environment variable.

See the following Apache Flink documentation on configuring Flink:

Configuration for details on configuration directory in general, and the main configuration file is config.yaml.
How to use logging for details on different logging files.

Default Configuration

Data Fabric Ecosystem Pack applies the default configuration on top of Apache Flink default configuration, for example:

TLS/SSL is enabled by default. See Security in Flink for details.

Using MapR-FS as a checkpoint storage

Flink on Data Fabric supports storing checkpoint data in MapR-FS. You can specify a maprfs:// URL in execution.checkpointing.dir as follows:

execution:
  checkpointing:
    dir: maprfs:///user/<username>/flink/checkpoints

Integrating Flink with ZooKeeper for High Availability

Flink on Data Fabric supports integration with ZooKeeper for high availability. You can specify a Data Fabric's ZooKeeper quorum in high-availability.zookeeper.quorum as well as a maprfs:// URL in high-availability.storageDir as follows:

high-availability:
  storageDir: maprfs:///user/mapruser1/flink/ha
  zookeeper:
    quorum: <host name>:5181
