DataStream API 教程

Apache Flink 提供了 DataStream API，用于构建健壮的、有状态的流式应用程序。它提供了对状态和时间细粒度控制，从而允许实现高级事件驱动系统。 在这篇教程中，你将学习如何使用 PyFlink 和 DataStream API 构建一个简单的流式应用程序。

你要搭建一个什么系统

在本教程中，你将学习如何编写一个简单的 Python DataStream 作业。 该程序读取一个 csv 文件，计算词频，并将结果写到一个结果文件中。

准备条件

本教程假设你对 Python 有一定的了解，但是即使你使用的是其它编程语言，你也应该能够学会。

困难求助

如果你有疑惑，可以查阅 社区支持资源。 特别是，Apache Flink 用户邮件列表 一直被评为所有 Apache 项目中最活跃的一个，也是快速获得帮助的好方法。

怎样跟着教程练习

首先，你需要在你的电脑上准备以下环境：

  • Java 11
  • Python 3.7, 3.8, 3.9 or 3.10

使用 Python DataStream API 需要安装 PyFlink，PyFlink 发布在 PyPI上，可以通过 pip 快速安装。

  1. $ python -m pip install apache-flink

一旦 PyFlink 安装完成之后，你就可以开始编写 Python DataStream 作业了。

编写一个 Flink Python DataStream API 程序

DataStream API 应用程序首先需要声明一个执行环境（StreamExecutionEnvironment），这是流式程序执行的上下文。你将通过它来设置作业的属性（例如默认并发度、重启策略等）、创建源、并最终触发作业的执行。

  1. env = StreamExecutionEnvironment.get_execution_environment()
  2. env.set_runtime_mode(RuntimeExecutionMode.BATCH)
  3. env.set_parallelism(1)

一旦创建了 StreamExecutionEnvironment 之后，你可以使用它来声明数据源。数据源从外部系统（如 Apache Kafka、Rabbit MQ 或 Apache Pulsar）拉取数据到 Flink 作业里。

为了简单起见，本教程读取文件作为数据源。

  1. ds = env.from_source(
  2.     source=FileSource.for_record_stream_format(StreamFormat.text_line_format(),
  3.                                                input_path)
  4.                      .process_static_file_set().build(),
  5.     watermark_strategy=WatermarkStrategy.for_monotonous_timestamps(),
  6.     source_name="file_source"
  7. )

你现在可以在这个数据流上执行转换操作，或者使用 sink 将数据写入外部系统。本教程使用 FileSink 将结果数据写入文件中。

  1. ds.sink_to(
  2.     sink=FileSink.for_row_format(
  3.         base_path=output_path,
  4.         encoder=Encoder.simple_string_encoder())
  5.     .with_output_file_config(
  6.         OutputFileConfig.builder()
  7.         .with_part_prefix("prefix")
  8.         .with_part_suffix(".ext")
  9.         .build())
  10.     .with_rolling_policy(RollingPolicy.default_rolling_policy())
  11.     .build()
  12. )
  14. def split(line):
  15.     yield from line.split()
  17. # compute word count
  18. ds = ds.flat_map(split) \
  19.     .map(lambda i: (i, 1), output_type=Types.TUPLE([Types.STRING(), Types.INT()])) \
  20.     .key_by(lambda i: i[0]) \
  21.     .reduce(lambda i, j: (i[0], i[1] + j[1]))

最后一步是执行 PyFlink DataStream API 作业。PyFlink applications 是懒加载的，并且只有在完全构建之后才会提交给集群上执行。要执行一个应用程序，你只需简单地调用 env.execute()。

  1. env.execute()

完整的代码如下:

  1. import argparse
  2. import logging

执行一个 Flink Python DataStream API 程序

现在你已经编写好 PyFlink 程序，可以通过如下命令执行它:

  1. $ python word_count.py

这个命令会在本地集群中构建并运行 PyFlink 程序。你也可以使用 Job Submission Examples 中描述的命令将其提交到远程集群。

最后，你可以得到如下运行结果:

  1. (a,5)
  2. (Be,1)
  3. (Is,1)
  4. (No,2)
  5. ...

本教程为你开始编写自己的 PyFlink DataStream API 程序提供了基础。你也可以访问 PyFlink 示例 ，了解更多关于 PyFlink 的示例。 如果需要了解更多关于 Python DataStream API 的使用，请查阅 Flink Python API 文档 。
