2 minutes Apache Flink installation
Continuing my effort of keeping track of useful and short guides (more for myself than others), here you have the one to setup Apache Flink quickly.
Note: this installation does not require sudo, is for a single-node cluster (with JAVA_HOME set and Java up to date) with out-of-the-box configuration and DOES NOT use HDFS.
Connect to your server
ssh -L 8081:localhost:8081 username@server
Create a directory for storm and enter it
mkdir flink
cd flink
Download Apache Flink and unzip it
wget http://apache.mirrors.spacedump.net/flink/flink-1.0.3/flink-1.0.3-bin-hadoop1-scala_2.10.tgz (or the appropriate version)
tar -xvf flink-1.0.3-bin-hadoop1-scala_2.10.tgz
Start cluster
./bin/start-cluster
Open your web browser and go to localhost:8081. Do you see the UI? good…
Notes:
- Have a look at conf/flink-conf.yaml and conf/slaves and to understand (i) what is going on and (ii) why the installation is so straightforward (read: what parameters are already set for you)
- Read https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-1.0/setup/cluster_setup.html!
