Interconnecting FlinkServer with HBase

Scenario

FlinkServer can be interconnected with HBase. The details are as follows:

Prerequisites

Procedure

  1. Log in to the node where the client is installed as the client installation user and copy all configuration files in the /opt/Bigdata/client/HBase/hbase/conf/ directory of HBase to an empty directory of all nodes where FlinkServer is deployed, for example, /tmp/client/HBase/hbase/conf/.

    Change the owner of the configuration file directory and its upper-layer directory on the FlinkServer node to omm.

    chown omm: /tmp/client/HBase/hbase/conf/ -R
    • FlinkServer nodes:

      Log in to Manager, choose Cluster > Services > Flink > Instance, and check the Service IP Address of FlinkServer.

    • If the node where a FlinkServer instance is located is the node where the HBase client is installed, skip this step on this node.

  2. Log in to Manager, choose Cluster > Services > Flink > Configurations > All Configurations, search for the HBASE_CONF_DIR parameter, and enter the FlinkServer directory (for example, /tmp/client/HBase/hbase/conf/) to which the HBase configuration files are copied in 1 in Value.

    If the node where a FlinkServer instance is located is the node where the HBase client is installed, enter the /opt/Bigdata/client/HBase/hbase/conf/ directory of HBase in Value of the HBASE_CONF_DIR parameter.

  3. After the parameters are configured, click Save. After confirming the modification, click OK.
  4. Click Instance, select all FlinkServer instances, choose More > Restart Instance, enter the password, and click OK to restart the instances.
  5. Log in to Manager and choose Cluster > Services > Flink. In the Basic Information area, click the link on the right of Flink WebUI to access the Flink web UI.
  6. Create a Flink SQL job and set Task Type to Stream job. For details, see Creating a Job. On the job development page, configure the job parameters as follows and start the job.

    Select Enable CheckPoint in Running Parameter and set Time Interval (ms) to 60000.

    The following example shows how to create a Flink SQL job:
    CREATE TABLE ksource1 (
user_id STRING,
item_id STRING,
proctime as PROCTIME()
) WITH (
'connector' = 'kafka',
'topic' = 'ksource1',
'properties.group.id' = 'group1',
'properties.bootstrap.servers' = 'IP address of the Kafka broker instance 1:Kafka port number,IP address of the Kafka broker instance 2:Kafka port number',
'format' = 'json',
'properties.sasl.kerberos.service.name' = 'kafka'
);

CREATE TABLE hsink1 (
rowkey STRING,
f1 ROW < item_id STRING >,
PRIMARY KEY (rowkey) NOT ENFORCED
) WITH (
'connector' = 'hbase-2.2',
'table-name' = 'dim_province',
'zookeeper.quorum' = 'IP address of the ZooKeeper quorumpeer instance 1:ZooKeeper port number'IP address of the ZooKeeper quorumpeer instance 2:ZooKeeper port number'
);

INSERT INTO
hsink1
SELECT
user_id as rowkey,
ROW(item_id) as f1
FROM
ksource1;
    • Kafka port number
      • In security mode, the port number is the value of sasl.port (21007 by default).
      • In non-security mode, the port is the value of port (9092 by default). If the port number is set to 9092, set allow.everyone.if.no.acl.found to true. The procedure is as follows:

        Log in to FusionInsight Manager and choose Cluster > Services > Kafka. On the displayed page, click Configurations and then All Configurations, search for allow.everyone.if.no.acl.found, set its value to true, and click Save.

    • IP address of the ZooKeeper quorumpeer instance

      To obtain IP addresses of all ZooKeeper quorumpeer instances, log in to FusionInsight Manager and choose Cluster > Services > ZooKeeper. On the displayed page, click Instance and view the IP addresses of all the hosts where the quorumpeer instances locate.

    • Port number of the ZooKeeper client

      Log in to FusionInsight Manager and choose Cluster > Service > ZooKeeper. On the displayed page, click Configurations and check the value of clientPort. The default value is 24002.

  7. On the job management page, check whether the job status is Running.
  8. Execute the following script to write data to Kafka. For details, see Managing Messages in Kafka Topics.

    sh kafka-console-producer.sh --broker-list IP address of the node where the Kafka instance locates:Kafka port number --topic Topic name

    For example, if the topic name is ksource1, the script is sh kafka-console-producer.sh --broker-list IP address of the node where the Kafka instance locates:Kafka port number --topic ksource1.

    Enter the message content.
    {"user_id": "3","item_id":"333333"},
{"user_id": "4","item_id":"44444444"}

    Press Enter to send the message.

  9. Log in to the HBase client and view the table data. For details, see Using an HBase Client.

    hbase shel

    scan 'dim_province'
