Scott Kidder commented on FLINK-5898: ------------------------------------- FYI: the pull-request against the Kinesis Producer Library (KPL) was accepted and merged into the master branch of the KPL project repo. I imagine it'll be present in the next release of the KPL. > Race-Condition with Amazon Kinesis KPL > -------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-5898 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-5898 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Kinesis Connector > Affects Versions: 1.2.0 > Reporter: Scott Kidder > > The Flink Kinesis streaming-connector uses the Amazon Kinesis Producer > Library (KPL) to send messages to Kinesis streams. The KPL relies on a native > binary client to send messages to achieve better performance. > When a Kinesis Producer is instantiated, the KPL will extract the native > binary to a sub-directory of `/tmp` (or whatever the platform-specific > temporary directory happens to be). > The KPL tries to prevent multiple processes from extracting the binary at the > same time by wrapping the operation in a mutex. Unfortunately, this does not > prevent multiple Flink cores from trying to perform this operation at the > same time. If two or more processes attempt to do this at the same time, then > the native binary in /tmp will be corrupted. > The authors of the KPL are aware of this possibility and suggest that users > of the KPL .... not do that ... (sigh): > https://github.com/awslabs/amazon-kinesis-producer/issues/55#issuecomment-251408897 > I encountered this in my production environment when bringing up a new Flink > task-manager with multiple cores and restoring from an earlier savepoint, > resulting in the instantiation of a KPL client on each core at roughly the > same time. > A stack-trace follows: > {noformat} > java.lang.RuntimeException: Could not copy native binaries to temp directory > /tmp/amazon-kinesis-producer-native-binaries > at > com.amazonaws.services.kinesis.producer.KinesisProducer.extractBinaries(KinesisProducer.java:849) > at > com.amazonaws.services.kinesis.producer.KinesisProducer.<init>(KinesisProducer.java:243) > at > org.apache.flink.streaming.connectors.kinesis.FlinkKinesisProducer.open(FlinkKinesisProducer.java:198) > at > org.apache.flink.api.common.functions.util.FunctionUtils.openFunction(FunctionUtils.java:36) > at > org.apache.flink.streaming.api.operators.AbstractUdfStreamOperator.open(AbstractUdfStreamOperator.java:112) > at > org.apache.flink.streaming.runtime.tasks.StreamTask.openAllOperators(StreamTask.java:376) > at > org.apache.flink.streaming.runtime.tasks.StreamTask.invoke(StreamTask.java:252) > at org.apache.flink.runtime.taskmanager.Task.run(Task.java:655) > at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745) > Caused by: java.lang.SecurityException: The contents of the binary > /tmp/amazon-kinesis-producer-native-binaries/kinesis_producer_e9a87c761db92a73eb74519a4468ee71def87eb2 > is not what it's expected to be. > at > com.amazonaws.services.kinesis.producer.KinesisProducer.extractBinaries(KinesisProducer.java:822) > ... 8 more > {noformat} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
