flink在event time处理模式下的watermarks分析。
概念先行
- stream processor(event time)需要一种方法来衡量事件时间的进度。 例如当使用一小时时间窗口处理数据时,窗口时间结束时需要通知window operator(one hour operator)关闭正在运行的窗口,是否可以关闭运行的窗口,是由watermark和当前event time决定的。
- flink衡量event time进度的方式就是watermarks,watermarks是datastream的一部分,总会带有一个时间戳t。Watermark(t)表明event time已经到达了该数据流中的t时间点,流中后续不会再出现带有
t’<t
的元素。
下图是一个使用逻辑时间轴的steam,图下面是watermark数据。图中的events是按时间升序的,这样的stream中的watermark只是流中的周期性标记。
下面这个例子中的流是无序的,水印对于这种无序流是非常重要的。下图中的事件没有按事件排序。watermark可以理解为stream中的一点:
- 所有时间戳比这个点小的事件都已经到达了
- 换句话说,watermark(t)后面不会再出现比t小的事件
当operator读取到watermark会把内部的event time时钟调整到watermark的时间点

* 看一个乱序的例子(重要):
*
* 1484892913000,2017-01-20T06:15:13+0000 - wm:1484892878000,2017-01-20T14:14:38.000+08:00 = last_ts-300000
* 1484892928000,2017-01-20T06:15:28+0000 - wm:1484892883000,2017-01-20T14:14:43.000+08:00 = last_ts-300000
* 1484892918000,2017-01-20T06:15:18+0000 - wm:1484892898000,2017-01-20T14:14:58.000+08:00 = last_ts-300000
**1484892893000,2017-01-20T06:14:53+0000 - wm:1484892898000,2017-01-20T14:14:58.000+08:00 = last_ts-200000
* 1484892923000,2017-01-20T06:15:23+0000 - wm:1484892898000,2017-01-20T14:14:58.000+08:00 = last_ts+6
* 1484892933000,2017-01-20T06:15:33+0000 - wm:1484892898000,2017-01-20T14:14:58.000+08:00 = last_ts-025
* 1484892938000,2017-01-20T06:15:38+0000 - wm:1484892903000,2017-01-20T14:15:03.000+08:00 = last_ts-300000
* 1484892943000,2017-01-20T06:15:43+0000 - wm:1484892908000,2017-01-20T14:15:08.000+08:00 = last_ts-300000
*
* WM不会减小,乱序的元素的wm还是按前面元素的值计算出来的,所以会由于本身乱序(比如递增数列中减小了)
* 还使用之前的wm(使用较大的wm)出现一种情况,就是wm>乱序ts的情况,这种情况出现说明乱序已经超过
* 了WM的容忍范围。
* 例如上面的1484892893000,2017-01-20T06:14:53+0000时间点的WM>TS,因为乱序的时间戳已经超过了
* 30000,综上可以通过判断ts是否小于wm来判断是否当前数据超出乱序容忍范围。
*
* 排序原理:
* 1、process准入条件是乱序不能大于30s
* 2、process压入最小堆
* 3、process对每个时间点注册Timer
*
* 4、Timer启动之后 准备弹出最小堆的数据,
* 条件是数据的ts<当前的wm,注意是触发点的wm,可能已经在几个ts之后了
