Dear all, I am using the kafkaIO sdk in my project (Beam with Spark runner).
The problem about task skew is shown as the following figure. [cid:[email protected]] My running environment is: OS: Ubuntn 14.04.4 LTS The version of related tools is: java version: "1.8.0_151" Beam version: 2.9.0 (Spark runner with Standalone mode) Spark version: 2.3.1 Standalone mode Execution condition: Master/Driver node: ubuntu7 Worker nodes: ubuntu8 (4 Executors); ubuntu9 (4 Executors) The number of executors is 8 Kafka Broker: 2.10-0.10.1.1 Broker node at ubuntu7 Kafka Client: The topic: kafkasink32 kafkasink32 Partitions: 32 The programming of my project for kafkaIO SDK is as: ============================================================================== Map<String, Object> map = ImmutableMap.<String, Object>builder() .put("group.id", (Object)"test-consumer-group") .build(); List<TopicPartition> topicPartitions = new ArrayList(); for(int i = 0; i < 32; i++) { topicPartitions.add(new TopicPartition("kafkasink32",i)); } PCollection<KV<Long, String>> readKafkaData = p.apply(KafkaIO.<Long, String>read() .withBootstrapServers("ubuntu7:9092") .updateConsumerProperties(map) .withKeyDeserializer(LongDeserializer.class) .withValueDeserializer(StringDeserializer.class) .withTopicPartitions(topicPartitions) .withoutMetadata() ); ============================================================================== Here I have two directions to solve this problem: 1. Using the following sdk from spark streaming https://jaceklaskowski.gitbooks.io/spark-streaming/spark-streaming-kafka-LocationStrategy.html LocationStrategies.PreferConsistent: Use in most cases as it consistently distributes partitions across all executors. If we would like to use this feature, we have not idea to set this in kafkaIO SDK. 2. Setting the related configurations of kafka to perform the consumer rebalance set consumer group? Set group.id? If we need to do No2., could someone give me some ideas to set configurations? If anyone provides any direction to help us to overcome this problem, we would appreciate it. Thanks.
