Quick Start

This tutorial provides a quick introduction to using Deep Learning on Flink. This guide will show you how to download and install the latest stable version of Deep Learning on Flink. You will run a simple Flink job locally to train a linear model.

Environment Requirement

  • Java: 8
  • Python: 3.7
  • Flink: 1.14
  • TensorFlow: 1.15

We strongly recommend using virtualenv or other similar tools for an isolated Python environment.

pip install virtualenv
virtualenv venv --python=python3.7
source venv/bin/activate

Download & Install

Download Flink

Download a stable release of Flink 1.14, then extract the archive:

curl -LO https://archive.apache.org/dist/flink/flink-1.14.4/flink-1.14.4-bin-scala_2.11.tgz
tar -xzf flink-1.14.4-bin-scala_2.11.tgz

Please refer to guide for more detailed step of downloading or installing Flink.

Download Deep Learning on Flink

You can download the stable released binary release of Deep Learning on Flink, then extract the archive:

curl -LO https://github.com/flink-extended/dl-on-flink/releases/download/0.5.0/dl-on-flink-dist-0.5.0-bin.tgz
tar -xzf dl-on-flink-dist-0.5.0-bin.tgz
export DL_ON_FLINK_DIR="${PWD}"/./dl-on-flink-dist-0.5.0

Navigate to the extracted directory, you should see the following directory layout:

Directory Meaning
lib/ Directory containing the Deep Learning on Flink JARs compiled
examples/ Directory containing examples.

Install Python dependencies

In order to run Deep Learning on Flink job, we need install the python dependency with pip.

Install the latest stable release of dl-on-flink-framwork

python3 -m pip install --upgrade dl-on-flink-framework

Install the latest stable release of dl-on-flink-tensorflow

python3 -m pip install --upgrade dl-on-flink-tensorflow

Starting Local Standalone Cluster

In this example, we use two workers to train the model. Thus, there has to be at least 2 slots available in the Flink cluster. To do that, you should config the taskmanager.numberOfTaskSlots at config/flink-config.yaml to 2 with the following command.

cd flink-1.14.4
sed -i.bak 's/taskmanager.numberOfTaskSlots: 1/taskmanager.numberOfTaskSlots: 2/' ./conf/flink-conf.yaml

Usually, starting a local Flink cluster by running the following command is enough for this quick start guide.

./bin/start-cluster.sh

You should be able to navigate to the web UI at http://localhost:8081 to view the Flink dashboard and see that the cluster is up and running.

Model Train

The examples are included in the binary release. You can run the following command to submit the Deep Learning on Flink job to train the linear model.

export MODEL_PATH="${PWD}"/./linear

# Stream Training
./bin/flink run \
  -py "${DL_ON_FLINK_DIR}"/examples/linear/tensorflow/flink_train.py \
  --jarfile "${DL_ON_FLINK_DIR}"/lib/dl-on-flink-tensorflow-0.5.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar \
  --model-path "${MODEL_PATH}"
  
# Batch Training with 5120 samples for 100 epochs
./bin/flink run \
  -py "${DL_ON_FLINK_DIR}"/examples/linear/tensorflow/flink_train.py \
  --jarfile "${DL_ON_FLINK_DIR}"/lib/dl-on-flink-tensorflow-0.5.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar \
  --model-path "${MODEL_PATH}" \
  --epoch 100 \
  --sample-count 5120

After the job is submitted successfully, you should see the job at running state in the Flink web ui.

If the job is finished, you will see the model saved at $MODEL_PATH.

Inference

Now you can submit another Flink job to use the trained linear model to do inference.

./bin/flink run \
  -py "${DL_ON_FLINK_DIR}"/examples/linear/tensorflow/flink_inference.py \
  --model-path "${MODEL_PATH}"
