Hi, There is an interesting finding, the reason of low parallelism work much 
better is because all task being run in same TM, once we scale more, the task 
is distributed to different TM and the performance worse than the low 
parallelism case. Is this something expected? The more I scale the less I get?

Hi Jorn, the input data is 1kb per record, in production it will have 10 
billions of record per day and it will be increased so scalability is quite 
important to us to handle more data. Unfortunately this is not work as expected 
even with only 10 millions of testing data. The test application is just a 
simple jackson map + an empty process. CPU and memory is not an issue as we 
have 32 vCPU + 100 GB RAM per TM. Network should be fine as well as total TX+RX 
peak is around 800Mbps while we have 1000Mbps. Do you mind to share your 
thought? Or mind to test the attach application in your lab?


To run the program, sample parameters,

"aggrinterval=6000000 loop=7500000 statsd=1 psrc=4 pJ2R=32 pAggr=72 
URL=do36.mycompany.com:8127<http://do36.mycompany.com:8127>"

  *   aggrinterval: time in ms for timer to trigger
  *   loop: how many row of data to feed
  *   statsd: to send result to statsd
  *   psrc: source parallelism
  *   pJ2R: parallelism of map operator(JsonRecTranslator)
  *   pAggr: parallelism of process+timer operator(AggregationDuration)


Thank you!

Yow

How large is the input data? If the input data is very small then it does not 
make sense to scale it even more. The larger the data is the more parallelism 
you will have. You can modify this behavior of course by changing the partition 
on the Dataset.

Hi,


We found that our Flink application with simple logic, which using process 
function is not scale-able when scale from 8 parallelism onward even though 
with sufficient resources. Below it the result which is capped at ~250k TPS. No 
matter how we tune the parallelism of the operators it just not scale, same to 
increase source parallelism.


Please refer to "scaleNotWork.png",
1. fixed source parallelism 4, other operators parallelism 8
2. fixed source parallelism 4, other operators parallelism 16
3. fixed source parallelism 4, other operators parallelism 32
4. fixed source parallelism 6, other operators parallelism 8
5. fixed source parallelism 6, other operators parallelism 16
6. fixed source parallelism 6, other operators parallelism 32
7. fixed source parallelism 6, other operators parallelism 64 performance worse 
than parallelism 32.


Sample source code attached(flink_app_parser_git.zip). It is a simple program, 
parsing json record into object, and pass it to a empty logic Flink's process 
function. Rocksdb is in used, and the source is generated by the program 
itself. This could be reproduce easily.


We choose Flink because of it scalability, but this is not the case now, 
appreciated if anyone could help as this is impacting our projects! thank you.
