Can Flink write results into multiple files (like Hadoop's MultipleOutputFormat)?

问题

I'm using Apache Flink's DataSet API. I want to implement a job that writes multiple results into different files.

How can I do that?

回答1:

You can add as many data sinks to a DataSet program as you need.

For example in a program like this:

ExecutionEnvironment env = ExecutionEnvironment.getExecutionEnvironment();

DataSet<Tuple3<String, Long, Long>> data = env.readFromCsv(...);
// apply MapFunction and emit
data.map(new YourMapper()).writeToText("/foo/bar");
// apply FilterFunction and emit
data.filter(new YourFilter()).writeToCsv("/foo/bar2");

You read a DataSet data from a CSV file. This data is given to two subsequent transformations:

1. To a MapFunction and its result is written to a text file.
2. To a FilterFunction and the non-filtered tuples are written to a CSV file.

You can also have multiple data source and branch and merge data sets (using union, join, coGroup, cross, or broadcast sets) as you like.

You can use HadoopOutputFormat API in Flink like this:

class IteblogMultipleTextOutputFormat[K, V] extends MultipleTextOutputFormat[K, V] {
override def generateActualKey(key: K, value: V): K =
  NullWritable.get().asInstanceOf[K]

override def generateFileNameForKeyValue(key: K, value: V, name: String): String =
  key.asInstanceOf[String]
}

and we can using IteblogMultipleTextOutputFormat as follow:

val multipleTextOutputFormat = new IteblogMultipleTextOutputFormat[String, String]()
val jc = new JobConf()
FileOutputFormat.setOutputPath(jc, new Path("hdfs:///user/iteblog/"))
val format = new HadoopOutputFormat[String, String](multipleTextOutputFormat,   jc)
val batch = env.fromCollection(List(("A", "1"), ("A", "2"), ("A", "3"),
  ("B", "1"), ("B", "2"), ("C", "1"), ("D", "2")))
batch.output(format)
