WATERMARK 定义了表的事件时间属性,其形式为:
WATERMARK FOR rowtime_column_name AS watermark_strategy_expression
rowtime_column_name 把一个现有的列定义为一个为表标记事件时间的属性。该列的类型必须为 TIMESTAMP(3)/TIMESTAMP_LTZ(3),且是 schema 中的顶层列,它也可以是一个计算列。
watermark是触发计算的机制,只要事件时间<= watermark,就会触发当前行数据的计算,watermark的形象描述如下:
watermark的窗口触发机制
watermark会根据数据流中event的时间戳发生变化。通常情况下,event都是乱序的,不按时间排序的。watermark的计算逻辑为:当前最大的 event time - 最大允许延迟时间(MaxOutOfOrderness)。在同一个分区内部,当watermark大于或者等于窗口的结束时间时,才能触发该窗口的计算,即watermark>=windows endtime。如下图所示:
根据上图分析:
MaxOutOfOrderness = 5s,窗口的大小为:10s。
watermark分别为:12:08、12:15、12:30
计算逻辑为:WM(12:08)=12:13 - 5s;WM(12:15)=12:20 - 5s;WM(12:30)=12:35 - 5s
- 对于 [12:00,12:10) 窗口,需要在WM=12:15时,才能被触发计算,参与计算的event为:event(12:07)/event(12:01)/event(12:07)/event(12:09),event(12:10)/event(12:12)/event(12:12)/event(12:13)/event(12:20)/event(12:14)/event(12:15)不参与计算,因为还未到窗口时间,也就是event time 为 [12:00,12:10] 窗口内的event才能参与计算。
注意,如果过了这个窗口期,再收到 [12:00,12:10] 窗口内的event,就算超过了最大允许延迟时间(MaxOutOfOrderness),不会再参与计算,也就是数据被强制丢掉了。 - 对于 [12:10,12:20] 和 [12:20,12:30] 窗口,会在WM=12:30时,被同时触发计算,参与**[12:10,12:20]** 窗口计算的event为:event(12:10)/event(12:12)/event(12:12)/event(12:13)/event(12:14)/event(12:15)/event(12:15)/event(12:18);参与 [12:20,12:30] 窗口计算的event为:event(12:20)/event(12:20);在这个过程中event(12:05)会被丢弃,不会参与计算,因为已经超了最大允许延迟时间(MaxOutOfOrderness)
迟到的事件的处理,在介绍watermark时,提到了现实中往往处理的是乱序event,即当event处于某些原因而延后到达时,往往会发生该event time < watermark的情况,所以flink对处理乱序event的watermark有一个允许延迟的机制,这个机制就是最大允许延迟时间(MaxOutOfOrderness),允许在一定时间内迟到的event仍然视为有效event。
WATERMARK rowtime_column_name 取值两种方式
rowtime_column_name为计算列
CREATE TABLE pageviews (mid bigint,db string,sch string,tab string,opt string,ts bigint,ddl string,err string,src map < string, string >,cur map < string, string >,cus map < string, string >,event_time as cast(TO_TIMESTAMP_LTZ(ts,3) AS TIMESTAMP(3)), --计算列,必须为TIMESTAMP(3)/TIMESTAMP_LTZ(3)类型WATERMARK FOR event_time AS event_time - INTERVAL '60' SECOND
) WITH ('connector' = 'kafka','properties.bootstrap.servers' = '***','topic' = 'topic1','format' = 'json','properties.group.id' = '*****','scan.startup.mode' = 'earliest-offset'-- 取值 : group-offsets latest-offset earliest-offset
);
rowtime_column_name为事件时间属性
CREATE TABLE dataGen(uuid VARCHAR(20),name INT,age INT,ts TIMESTAMP(3), --事件时间属性,字段类型为TIMESTAMP(3)WATERMARK FOR ts AS ts
)with('connector' = 'datagen','rows-per-second' = '10','number-of-rows' = '100','fields.age.kind' = 'random','fields.age.min' = '1','fields.age.max' = '10','fields.name.kind' = 'random','fields.name.min' = '1','fields.name.max' = '10');
watermark使用demo
CREATE TABLE kafka_table(mid bigint,db string,sch string,tab string,opt string,ts bigint,ddl string,err string,src map < string, string >,cur map < string, string >,cus map < string, string >,group_name as COALESCE(cur['group_name'], src['group_name']),batch_number as COALESCE(cur['batch_number'], src['batch_number']),event_time as cast(TO_TIMESTAMP_LTZ(ts,3) AS TIMESTAMP(3)), -- TIMESTAMP(3)/TIMESTAMP_LTZ(3)WATERMARK FOR event_time AS event_time - INTERVAL '2' MINUTE --SECOND
) WITH ('connector' = 'kafka','properties.bootstrap.servers' = '***','topic' = 'topic1','format' = 'json','properties.group.id' = '*****','scan.startup.mode' = 'earliest-offset'-- 取值 : group-offsets latest-offset earliest-offset
);
watermark在over聚合中的使用
--RANGE:每个group_name计算当前group_name前10分钟内收到的同一group_name的所有总数
selectgroup_name
,event_time
,COUNT(group_name) OVER w1 as cnt
from kafka_table
where UPPER(opt) <> 'DELETE'
WINDOW w1 AS (PARTITION BY group_nameORDER BY event_timeRANGE BETWEEN INTERVAL '10' MINUTE PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW)
watermark在windows聚合中的使用
--求每10分钟的滚动窗口内同一group_name的所有总数
create view tmp as
SELECT group_name,event_time FROM kafka_table where UPPER(opt) <> 'DELETE';select window_start,window_end,window_time,group_name,count(*) as cnt from
TABLE(TUMBLE(TABLE tmp, DESCRIPTOR(event_time), INTERVAL '10' MINUTES))
group by window_start,window_end,window_time,group_name
