Flink SQL Count Distinct performance optimization

sunfulin
Hi, community,
I'm using Apache Flink SQL to build some of my realtime streaming apps. With one scenario I'm trying to count(distinct deviceID) over about 100GB data set in realtime, and aggregate results with sink to ElasticSearch index. I met a severe performance issue when running my flink job. Wanner get some help from community.


Flink version : 1.8.2
Running on yarn with 4 yarn slots per task manager. My flink task parallelism is set to be 10, which is equal to my kafka source partitions. After running the job, I can observe high backpressure from the flink dashboard. Any suggestions and kind of help is highly appreciated.


running sql is like the following:
   

INSERT INTO ES6_ZHANGLE_OUTPUT(aggId, pageId, ts, expoCnt, clkCnt)

select aggId, pageId, statkey as ts, sum(cnt) as expoCnt, count(cnt) as clkCnt  from

(

    SELECT

     aggId,

     pageId,

     statkey,

     COUNT(DISTINCT deviceId) as cnt

     FROM

     (

         SELECT

         'ZL_005' as aggId,

         'ZL_UV_PER_MINUTE' as pageId,

         deviceId,

         ts2Date(recvTime) as statkey

         from

         kafka_zl_etrack_event_stream

     )

     GROUP BY aggId, pageId, statkey, MOD(hashCode(deviceId), 1024)

) as t1

group by aggId, pageId, statkey

hi sunfulin,
you can try with blink planner (since 1.9 +), which optimizes distinct
aggregation. you can also try to enable
*table.optimizer.distinct-agg.split.enabled* if the data is skew.

best,
godfreyhe

Re: Flink SQL Count Distinct performance optimization

Kurt Young
Hi,

Could you try to find out what's the bottleneck of your current job? This
would leads to
different optimizations. Such as whether it's CPU bounded, or you have too
big local
state thus stuck by too many slow IOs.

Best,
Kurt

In reply to this post by godfrey he


hi,godfreyhe
As far as I can see, I rewrite the running sql from one count distinct level to 2 level agg, just as the table.optimizer.distinct-agg.split.enabled param worked. Correct me if I am telling the wrong way. But the rewrite sql does not work well for the performance throughout.
For now I am not able to use blink planner on my apps because the current prod environment has not planned or ready to up to Flink 1.9+.

Ah, I had checked resource usage and GC from flink dashboard. Seem that the reason is not cpu or memory issue. Task heap memory usage is less then 30%. Could you kindly tell that how I can see more metrics to help target the bottleneck?
Really appreciated that.

hi sunfulin,

As Kurt pointed out, if you use RocksDB state backend, maybe slow disk IO
bound your job.
You can check WindowOperator's latency metric to see how long it tasks to
process an element.
Hope this helps.

Re:Re: Re: Flink SQL Count Distinct performance optimization

sunfulin
hi,
Thanks for the reply. I am using default FsStateBackend rather than rocksdb with checkpoint off. So I really cannot see any state info from the dashboard. I will research more details and see if any alternative can be optimized.
