Flink HA Cluster JobManager issues

1
votes

I have a setup with flink 1.2 cluster, made up of 3 JobManagers and 2 TaskManagers. I start the Zookeeper Quorum from JobManager1, I get confirmation Zookeeper starts on the other 2 JobManagers then I start a Flink job on this JobManager1.

The flink-conf.yaml is the same on all 5 VMs this means jobmanager.rpc.address: points to JobManager1 everywhere.

If I turn off the VM running JobManager1 I would expect Zookeeper to say one of the remaining JobManagers is the leader and the TaskManagers should reconnect to it. Instead I get in the TaskManagers' logs a lot of these messages 

2017-03-14 14:13:21,827 INFO  org.apache.flink.runtime.taskmanager.TaskManager              - Trying to register at JobManager akka.tcp://[email protected]:43660/user/jobmanager (attempt 11, timeout: 30 seconds)

Reason: [Association failed with [akka.tcp://[email protected]:43660]] Caused by: [Connection refused: /1.2.3.4:43660]

I modified the original IP to 1.2.3.4 for confidentiality and because it's always the same IP (of JobManager1).

More logs:

Does anyone know why the TaskManagers are not trying to reconnect to one of the remaining JobManagers (like 1.2.3.5 above)?

Thanks!

Have you followed instructions in this link: ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-1.3/setup/… to start the cluster in HA mode? – Dawid Wysakowicz
Hi Dawid, yes the issue seems to be stackoverflow.com/questions/42793598/…. – razvan
Actually I have even created PR fixing it ;) Will try to speak up to merge it sooner. Until it will be merged just remove the else branch of first inner if. You can have a look at the PR here: github.com/apache/flink/pull/3506 – Dawid Wysakowicz
Anyway could you close one of those two questions? Let's not pollute SO ;) – Dawid Wysakowicz
Ok, so first of all the provided code is not a "running" example, but anyway tried to run it using kafka, all you environment configuration and the job restarts smoothly. Without FULL logs from all your TaskManagers and JobManagers I don't think will be able to help you. – Dawid Wysakowicz

For everyone facing the same issue, HA requires you to provide a DFS location accessible from all nodes. I had backend state checkpoint directory and zookeeper storage directory pointing on each VM to a local filesystem location and when one of the JobManagers went down the new leader couldn't resume the running jobs because of lack of information / location not accessible.

Edit: Since this was asked, the file I modified (In the case of Apache Flink 1.2 (https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-1.2/setup/config.html)) was 

conf/flink-conf.yaml

I set

state.backend.fs.checkpointdir
high-availability.zookeeper.storageDir

to AWS S3 paths .accessible from both TaskManagers and JobManagers.
