Hi Bajaj

Actually I don't totally understand what's your description, which conflicts 
with Flink codebase. Please follow either one of guide below to create 
RocksDBStateBackend:


  *   Set the state backend to environment programmatically, which has the 
highest priority over configuration in flink-conf.yaml
env.setStateBackend(new RocksDBStateBackend("hdfs:///checkpoints-data/"));

  *   Configure at least two options below in flink-conf.yaml to use 
RocksDBStateBackend (this could be overridden by setting state backend 
expliclitly in environment):
state.backend: rocksdb
state.checkpoints.dir: hdfs:///checkpoint-path

Thanks Yun for your response.



It seems creating the RocksDBStateBackend from the job requires providing the 
checkpoint URL whereas the savepoint url seems to default to 
“state.savepoints.dir” of the flink-conf.yaml.



I was expecting similar behavior to create the RocksDBStateBackend without 
providing the checkpoint url and it would default to “state.checkpoints.dir” of 
the flink-conf.yaml, like savepoints.

But it seems there is no option to do that (check my original mail below).



Am I misinterpreting the code or documentation? Is my observation correct?



Appreciate the engagement.



Thanks much,

~ Abhinav Bajaj

Hi Bajaj



Current "state.checkpoints.dir" defines cluster-wide location for cluster and 
each job would create the specific checkpoint location under it with job-id 
sub-directory. It is the same for the checkpoint URL in RocksDB.



And the configuration option "state.backend.rocksdb.localdir" [1] should work 
for RocksDB in Flink-1.7.1.

It seems requiring the checkpoint URL to create the RocksDBStateBackend mixes 
up the operational aspects of cluster within the job.

RocksDBStateBackend stateBackend = new RocksDBStateBackend(“CHECKPOINT_URL”, 
true);
stateBackend.setDbStoragePath(“DB_STORAGE_PATH”);



Also, noticed that the RocksDBStateBackend picks up the savepoint dir from 
property “state.savepoints.dir” of the flink-conf.yaml file but does not pick 
up the “state.backend.rocksdb.localdir”.

So I had to set from the job as above.



I feel there is a disconnect and would like to get confirmation of the above 
behavior, if possible.

I am using Flink 1.7.1.



Thanks Chesnay for your response below.

AFAIK this is not possible; the client doesn't know anything about the cluster 
configuration.



FLINK-15747 proposes to add an additional config option for controlling the 
logging behavior.



The only workaround I can think of would be to create a custom Flink 
distribution with a modified RocksDBStateBackend which always sets these 
options by default.

Hi,



Some of our teams ran into the disk space issues because of RocksDB default 
logging configuration - 
FLINK-15068<https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fissues.apache.org%2Fjira%2Fbrowse%2FFLINK-15068&data=01%7C01%7C%7Cd65837b572c24ad5d95408d7eb22b2b0%7C6d4034cd72254f72b85391feaea64919%7C1&sdata=Mo2FWyl3yKMFHw9um3LeAkQIfp3UyQi1po69HF1h6Mc%3D&reserved=0>.

It seems the workaround suggested uses the OptionsFactory to set some of the 
parameters from inside the job.



Since we provision the Flink cluster(version 1.7.1) for the teams, we control 
the RocksDB statebackend configuration from flink-conf.yaml.

And it seems there isn’t any related RocksDB 
configuration<https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fci.apache.org%2Fprojects%2Fflink%2Fflink-docs-release-1.7%2Fops%2Fconfig.html%23rocksdb-state-backend&data=01%7C01%7C%7Cd65837b572c24ad5d95408d7eb22b2b0%7C6d4034cd72254f72b85391feaea64919%7C1&sdata=QD2vta5EQLXfnwsP1fvN7Ve%2BmyczfgrKGhCAqTK1xcs%3D&reserved=0>
 to set in flink-conf.yaml.



Is there a way for the job developer to retrieve the default statebackend 
information from the cluster in the job and set the DBOptions on top of it?



Appreciate the help!



~ Abhinav Bajaj



PS:  Sharing below snippet as desired option if possible -



StreamExecutionEnvironment streamExecEnv = 
StreamExecutionEnvironment.getExecutionEnvironment();

StateBackend stateBackend = streamExecEnv.getDefaultStateBackend();

stateBackend.setOptions(new OptionsFactory() {

@Override
public DBOptions createDBOptions(DBOptions dbOptions) {
  dbOptions.setInfoLogLevel(InfoLogLevel.WARN_LEVEL);
  dbOptions.setMaxLogFileSize(1024 * 1024)
  return dbOptions;
}

@Override
public ColumnFamilyOptions createColumnOptions(ColumnFamilyOptions 
columnFamilyOptions) {
  return columnFamilyOptions;
}

});
