配置参数
For single-node setups Flink is ready to go out of the box and you don’t need to change the default configuration to get started.
The out of the box configuration will use your default Java installation. You can manually set the environment variable JAVA_HOME or the configuration key env.java.home in conf/flink-conf.yaml if you want to manually override the Java runtime to use.
This page lists the most common options that are typically needed to set up a well performing (distributed) installation. In addition a full list of all available configuration parameters is listed here.
All configuration is done in conf/flink-conf.yaml, which is expected to be a flat collection of YAML key value pairs with format key: value.
The system and run scripts parse the config at startup time. Changes to the configuration file require restarting the Flink JobManager and TaskManagers.
The configuration files for the TaskManagers can be different, Flink does not assume uniform machines in the cluster.

Common Options
| Key | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ##### jobmanager.heap.size | "1024m" | JVM heap size for the JobManager. |
| ##### taskmanager.heap.size | "1024m" | JVM heap size for the TaskManagers, which are the parallel workers of the system. On YARN setups, this value is automatically configured to the size of the TaskManager's YARN container, minus a certain tolerance value. |
| ##### parallelism.default | 1 | Default parallelism for jobs. |
| ##### taskmanager.numberOfTaskSlots | 1 | The number of parallel operator or user function instances that a single TaskManager can run. If this value is larger than 1, a single TaskManager takes multiple instances of a function or operator. That way, the TaskManager can utilize multiple CPU cores, but at the same time, the available memory is divided between the different operator or function instances. This value is typically proportional to the number of physical CPU cores that the TaskManager's machine has (e.g., equal to the number of cores, or half the number of cores). |
| ##### state.backend | (none) | The state backend to be used to store and checkpoint state. |
| ##### state.checkpoints.dir | (none) | The default directory used for storing the data files and meta data of checkpoints in a Flink supported filesystem. The storage path must be accessible from all participating processes/nodes(i.e. all TaskManagers and JobManagers). |
| ##### state.savepoints.dir | (none) | The default directory for savepoints. Used by the state backends that write savepoints to file systems (MemoryStateBackend, FsStateBackend, RocksDBStateBackend). |
| ##### high-availability | "NONE" | Defines high-availability mode used for the cluster execution. To enable high-availability, set this mode to "ZOOKEEPER" or specify FQN of factory class. |
| ##### high-availability.storageDir | (none) | File system path (URI) where Flink persists metadata in high-availability setups. |
| ##### security.ssl.internal.enabled | false | Turns on SSL for internal network communication. Optionally, specific components may override this through their own settings (rpc, data transport, REST, etc). |
| ##### security.ssl.rest.enabled | false | Turns on SSL for external communication via the REST endpoints. |
Full Reference
HDFS
Note: These keys are deprecated and it is recommended to configure the Hadoop path with the environment variable HADOOP_CONF_DIR instead.
These parameters configure the default HDFS used by Flink. Setups that do not specify a HDFS configuration have to specify the full path to HDFS files (hdfs://address:port/path/to/files) Files will also be written with default HDFS parameters (block size, replication factor).
fs.hdfs.hadoopconf: The absolute path to the Hadoop File System’s (HDFS) configuration directory (OPTIONAL VALUE). Specifying this value allows programs to reference HDFS files using short URIs (hdfs:///path/to/files, without including the address and port of the NameNode in the file URI). Without this option, HDFS files can be accessed, but require fully qualified URIs likehdfs://address:port/path/to/files. This option also causes file writers to pick up the HDFS’s default values for block sizes and replication factors. Flink will look for the “core-site.xml” and “hdfs-site.xml” files in the specified directory.fs.hdfs.hdfsdefault: The absolute path of Hadoop’s own configuration file “hdfs-default.xml” (DEFAULT: null).fs.hdfs.hdfssite: The absolute path of Hadoop’s own configuration file “hdfs-site.xml” (DEFAULT: null).
Core

| ##### classloader.parent-first-patterns.additional | (none) | A (semicolon-separated) list of patterns that specifies which classes should always be resolved through the parent ClassLoader first. A pattern is a simple prefix that is checked against the fully qualified class name. These patterns are appended to "classloader.parent-first-patterns.default". |
| ##### classloader.parent-first-patterns.default | "java.; | A (semicolon-separated) list of patterns that specifies which classes should always be resolved through the parent ClassLoader first. A pattern is a simple prefix that is checked against the fully qualified class name. This setting should generally not be modified. To add another pattern we recommend to use "classloader.parent-first-patterns.additional" instead. |
| ##### classloader.resolve-order | "child-first" | Defines the class resolution strategy when loading classes from user code, meaning whether to first check the user code jar ("child-first") or the application classpath ("parent-first"). The default settings indicate to load classes first from the user code jar, which means that user code jars can include and load different dependencies than Flink uses (transitively). |
| ##### io.tmp.dirs | 'LOCAL_DIRS' on Yarn. '_FLINK_TMP_DIR' on Mesos. System.getProperty("java.io.tmpdir") in standalone. | Directories for temporary files, separated by",", "|", or the system's java.io.File.pathSeparator. |

| ##### jobmanager.heap.size | "1024m" | JVM heap size for the JobManager. |
| ##### jobmanager.rpc.address | (none) | The config parameter defining the network address to connect to for communication with the job manager. This value is only interpreted in setups where a single JobManager with static name or address exists (simple standalone setups, or container setups with dynamic service name resolution). It is not used in many high-availability setups, when a leader-election service (like ZooKeeper) is used to elect and discover the JobManager leader from potentially multiple standby JobManagers. |
| ##### jobmanager.rpc.port | 6123 | The config parameter defining the network port to connect to for communication with the job manager. Like jobmanager.rpc.address, this value is only interpreted in setups where a single JobManager with static name/address and port exists (simple standalone setups, or container setups with dynamic service name resolution). This config option is not used in many high-availability setups, when a leader-election service (like ZooKeeper) is used to elect and discover the JobManager leader from potentially multiple standby JobManagers. |
| ##### jobstore.cache-size | 52428800 | The job store cache size in bytes which is used to keep completed jobs in memory. |
| ##### jobstore.expiration-time | 3600 | The time in seconds after which a completed job expires and is purged from the job store. |

| ##### task.checkpoint.alignment.max-size | -1 | The maximum number of bytes that a checkpoint alignment may buffer. If the checkpoint alignment buffers more than the configured amount of data, the checkpoint is aborted (skipped). A value of -1 indicates that there is no limit. |
| ##### taskmanager.debug.memory.log | false | Flag indicating whether to start a thread, which repeatedly logs the memory usage of the JVM. |
| ##### taskmanager.debug.memory.log-interval | 5000 | The interval (in ms) for the log thread to log the current memory usage. |
| ##### taskmanager.exit-on-fatal-akka-error | false | Whether the quarantine monitor for task managers shall be started. The quarantine monitor shuts down the actor system if it detects that it has quarantined another actor system or if it has been quarantined by another actor system. |
| ##### taskmanager.heap.size | "1024m" | JVM heap size for the TaskManagers, which are the parallel workers of the system. On YARN setups, this value is automatically configured to the size of the TaskManager's YARN container, minus a certain tolerance value. |
| ##### taskmanager.host | (none) | The address of the network interface that the TaskManager binds to. This option can be used to define explicitly a binding address. Because different TaskManagers need different values for this option, usually it is specified in an additional non-shared TaskManager-specific config file. |
| ##### taskmanager.jvm-exit-on-oom | false | Whether to kill the TaskManager when the task thread throws an OutOfMemoryError. |
| ##### taskmanager.network.bind-policy | "ip" | The automatic address binding policy used by the TaskManager if "taskmanager.host" is not set. The value should be one of the following:- "name" - uses hostname as binding address- "ip" - uses host's ip address as binding address |
| ##### taskmanager.numberOfTaskSlots | 1 | The number of parallel operator or user function instances that a single TaskManager can run. If this value is larger than 1, a single TaskManager takes multiple instances of a function or operator. That way, the TaskManager can utilize multiple CPU cores, but at the same time, the available memory is divided between the different operator or function instances. This value is typically proportional to the number of physical CPU cores that the TaskManager's machine has (e.g., equal to the number of cores, or half the number of cores). |
| ##### taskmanager.registration.initial-backoff | "500 ms" | The initial registration backoff between two consecutive registration attempts. The backoff is doubled for each new registration attempt until it reaches the maximum registration backoff. |
| ##### taskmanager.registration.max-backoff | "30 s" | The maximum registration backoff between two consecutive registration attempts. The max registration backoff requires a time unit specifier (ms/s/min/h/d). |
| ##### taskmanager.registration.refused-backoff | "10 s" | The backoff after a registration has been refused by the job manager before retrying to connect. |
| ##### taskmanager.registration.timeout | "5 min" | Defines the timeout for the TaskManager registration. If the duration is exceeded without a successful registration, then the TaskManager terminates. |
| ##### taskmanager.rpc.port | "0" | The task manager’s IPC port. Accepts a list of ports (“50100,50101”), ranges (“50100-50200”) or a combination of both. It is recommended to set a range of ports to avoid collisions when multiple TaskManagers are running on the same machine. |
For batch jobs (or if taskmanager.memoy.preallocate is enabled) Flink allocates a fraction of 0.7 of the free memory (total memory configured via taskmanager.heap.mb minus memory used for network buffers) for its managed memory. Managed memory helps Flink to run the batch operators efficiently. It prevents OutOfMemoryExceptions because Flink knows how much memory it can use to execute operations. If Flink runs out of managed memory, it utilizes disk space. Using managed memory, some operations can be performed directly on the raw data without having to deserialize the data to convert it into Java objects. All in all, managed memory improves the robustness and speed of the system.
The default fraction for managed memory can be adjusted using the taskmanager.memory.fraction parameter. An absolute value may be set using taskmanager.memory.size (overrides the fraction parameter). If desired, the managed memory may be allocated outside the JVM heap. This may improve performance in setups with large memory sizes.
| Key | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ##### taskmanager.memory.fraction | 0.7 | The relative amount of memory (after subtracting the amount of memory used by network buffers) that the task manager reserves for sorting, hash tables, and caching of intermediate results. For example, a value of 0.8 means that a task manager reserves 80% of its memory (on-heap or off-heap depending on taskmanager.memory.off-heap) for internal data buffers, leaving 20% of free memory for the task manager's heap for objects created by user-defined functions. This parameter is only evaluated, if taskmanager.memory.size is not set. |
| ##### taskmanager.memory.off-heap | false | Memory allocation method (JVM heap or off-heap), used for managed memory of the TaskManager. For setups with larger quantities of memory, this can improve the efficiency of the operations performed on the memory.When set to true, then it is advised that taskmanager.memory.preallocate is also set to true. |
| ##### taskmanager.memory.preallocate | false | Whether TaskManager managed memory should be pre-allocated when the TaskManager is starting. When taskmanager.memory.off-heap is set to true, then it is advised that this configuration is also set to true. If this configuration is set to false cleaning up of the allocated off-heap memory happens only when the configured JVM parameter MaxDirectMemorySize is reached by triggering a full GC. For streaming setups, it is highly recommended to set this value to false as the core state backends currently do not use the managed memory. |
| ##### taskmanager.memory.segment-size | "32kb" | Size of memory buffers used by the network stack and the memory manager. |
| ##### taskmanager.memory.size | "0" | The amount of memory (in megabytes) that the task manager reserves on-heap or off-heap (depending on taskmanager.memory.off-heap) for sorting, hash tables, and caching of intermediate results. If unspecified, the memory manager will take a fixed ratio with respect to the size of the task manager JVM as specified by taskmanager.memory.fraction. |
Distributed Coordination

| ##### cluster.registration.initial-timeout | 100 | Initial registration timeout between cluster components in milliseconds. |
| ##### cluster.registration.max-timeout | 30000 | Maximum registration timeout between cluster components in milliseconds. |
| ##### cluster.registration.refused-registration-delay | 30000 | The pause made after the registration attempt was refused in milliseconds. |
| ##### cluster.services.shutdown-timeout | 30000 | The shutdown timeout for cluster services like executors in milliseconds. |
Distributed Coordination (via Akka)
| Key | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ##### akka.ask.timeout | "10 s" | Timeout used for all futures and blocking Akka calls. If Flink fails due to timeouts then you should try to increase this value. Timeouts can be caused by slow machines or a congested network. The timeout value requires a time-unit specifier (ms/s/min/h/d). |
| ##### akka.client-socket-worker-pool.pool-size-factor | 1.0 | The pool size factor is used to determine thread pool size using the following formula: ceil(available processors factor). Resulting size is then bounded by the pool-size-min and pool-size-max values. |

| ##### akka.jvm-exit-on-fatal-error | true | Exit JVM on fatal Akka errors. |
| ##### akka.log.lifecycle.events | false | Turns on the Akka’s remote logging of events. Set this value to 'true' in case of debugging. |
| ##### akka.lookup.timeout | "10 s" | Timeout used for the lookup of the JobManager. The timeout value has to contain a time-unit specifier (ms/s/min/h/d). |
| ##### akka.retry-gate-closed-for | 50 | Milliseconds a gate should be closed for after a remote connection was disconnected. |
| ##### akka.server-socket-worker-pool.pool-size-factor | 1.0 | The pool size factor is used to determine thread pool size using the following formula: ceil(available processors * factor). Resulting size is then bounded by the pool-size-min and pool-size-max values. |
| ##### akka.server-socket-worker-pool.pool-size-max | 2 | Max number of threads to cap factor-based number to. |
| ##### akka.server-socket-worker-pool.pool-size-min | 1 | Min number of threads to cap factor-based number to. |

| ##### akka.startup-timeout | (none) | Timeout after which the startup of a remote component is considered being failed. |
| ##### akka.tcp.timeout | "20 s" | Timeout for all outbound connections. If you should experience problems with connecting to a TaskManager due to a slow network, you should increase this value. |
| ##### akka.throughput | 15 | Number of messages that are processed in a batch before returning the thread to the pool. Low values denote a fair scheduling whereas high values can increase the performance at the cost of unfairness. |
| ##### akka.transport.heartbeat.interval | "1000 s" | Heartbeat interval for Akka’s transport failure detector. Since Flink uses TCP, the detector is not necessary. Therefore, the detector is disabled by setting the interval to a very high value. In case you should need the transport failure detector, set the interval to some reasonable value. The interval value requires a time-unit specifier (ms/s/min/h/d). |
| ##### akka.transport.heartbeat.pause | "6000 s" | Acceptable heartbeat pause for Akka’s transport failure detector. Since Flink uses TCP, the detector is not necessary. Therefore, the detector is disabled by setting the pause to a very high value. In case you should need the transport failure detector, set the pause to some reasonable value. The pause value requires a time-unit specifier (ms/s/min/h/d). |
| ##### akka.transport.threshold | 300.0 | Threshold for the transport failure detector. Since Flink uses TCP, the detector is not necessary and, thus, the threshold is set to a high value. |
| ##### akka.watch.heartbeat.interval | "10 s" | Heartbeat interval for Akka’s DeathWatch mechanism to detect dead TaskManagers. If TaskManagers are wrongly marked dead because of lost or delayed heartbeat messages, then you should decrease this value or increase akka.watch.heartbeat.pause. A thorough description of Akka’s DeathWatch can be found here |
| ##### akka.watch.heartbeat.pause | "60 s" | Acceptable heartbeat pause for Akka’s DeathWatch mechanism. A low value does not allow an irregular heartbeat. If TaskManagers are wrongly marked dead because of lost or delayed heartbeat messages, then you should increase this value or decrease akka.watch.heartbeat.interval. Higher value increases the time to detect a dead TaskManager. A thorough description of Akka’s DeathWatch can be found here |
| ##### akka.watch.threshold | 12 | Threshold for the DeathWatch failure detector. A low value is prone to false positives whereas a high value increases the time to detect a dead TaskManager. A thorough description of Akka’s DeathWatch can be found here |

Background
Configuring the Network Buffers
If you ever see the Exception java.io.IOException: Insufficient number of network buffers, youneed to adapt the amount of memory used for network buffers in order for your program to run on yourtask managers.
Network buffers are a critical resource for the communication layers. They are used to bufferrecords before transmission over a network, and to buffer incoming data before dissecting it intorecords and handing them to the application. A sufficient number of network buffers is critical toachieve a good throughput.
Since Flink 1.3, you may follow the idiom "more is better" without any penalty on the latency (weprevent excessive buffering in each outgoing and incoming channel, i.e. buffer bloat, by limitingthe actual number of buffers used by each channel).
In general, configure the task manager to have enough buffers that each logical network connectionyou expect to be open at the same time has a dedicated buffer. A logical network connection existsfor each point-to-point exchange of data over the network, which typically happens atrepartitioning or broadcasting steps (shuffle phase). In those, each parallel task inside theTaskManager has to be able to talk to all other parallel tasks.
Note: Since Flink 1.5, network buffers will always be allocated off-heap, i.e. outside of the JVM heap, irrespective of the value of taskmanager.memory.off-heap. This way, we can pass these buffers directly to the underlying network stack layers.
Setting Memory Fractions
Previously, the number of network buffers was set manually which became a quite error-prone task(see below). Since Flink 1.3, it is possible to define a fraction of memory that is being used fornetwork buffers with the following configuration parameters:
taskmanager.network.memory.fraction: Fraction of JVM memory to use for network buffers (DEFAULT: 0.1),taskmanager.network.memory.min: Minimum memory size for network buffers (DEFAULT: 64MB),taskmanager.network.memory.max: Maximum memory size for network buffers (DEFAULT: 1GB), andtaskmanager.memory.segment-size: Size of memory buffers used by the memory manager and thenetwork stack in bytes (DEFAULT: 32KB).
Setting the Number of Network Buffers directly
Note: This way of configuring the amount of memory used for network buffers is deprecated. Please consider using the method above by defining a fraction of memory to use.
The required number of buffers on a task manager istotal-degree-of-parallelism (number of targets) intra-node-parallelism (number of sources in one task manager) n_with _n being a constant that defines how many repartitioning-/broadcasting steps you expect to beactive at the same time. Since the intra-node-parallelism is typically the number of cores, andmore than 4 repartitioning or broadcasting channels are rarely active in parallel, it frequentlyboils down to
#slots-per-TM^2 * #TMs * 4
Where #slots per TM are the number of slots per TaskManager and #TMs are the total number of task managers.
To support, for example, a cluster of 20 8-slot machines, you should use roughly 5000 networkbuffers for optimal throughput.
Each network buffer has by default a size of 32 KiBytes. In the example above, the system would thusallocate roughly 300 MiBytes for network buffers.
The number and size of network buffers can be configured with the following parameters:
taskmanager.network.numberOfBuffers, andtaskmanager.memory.segment-size.
Configuring Temporary I/O Directories
Although Flink aims to process as much data in main memory as possible, it is not uncommon that more data needs to be processed than memory is available. Flink’s runtime is designed to write temporary data to disk to handle these situations.
The io.tmp.dirs parameter specifies a list of directories into which Flink writes temporary files. The paths of the directories need to be separated by ‘:’ (colon character). Flink will concurrently write (or read) one temporary file to (from) each configured directory. This way, temporary I/O can be evenly distributed over multiple independent I/O devices such as hard disks to improve performance. To leverage fast I/O devices (e.g., SSD, RAID, NAS), it is possible to specify a directory multiple times.
If the io.tmp.dirs parameter is not explicitly specified, Flink writes temporary data to the temporary directory of the operating system, such as /tmp in Linux systems.
Configuring TaskManager processing slots
Flink executes a program in parallel by splitting it into subtasks and scheduling these subtasks to processing slots.
Each Flink TaskManager provides processing slots in the cluster. The number of slots is typically proportional to the number of available CPU cores of each TaskManager. As a general recommendation, the number of available CPU cores is a good default for taskmanager.numberOfTaskSlots.
When starting a Flink application, users can supply the default number of slots to use for that job. The command line value therefore is called -p (for parallelism). In addition, it is possible to set the number of slots in the programming APIs for the whole application and for individual operators.
