This is one of many examples included in the "SPL Examples for
Beginners" collection to show the use of the consistent region feature
built into Streams 4.x and higher versions. This particular example was
written by my colleague Gabriela Jacques da Silva and full credit goes to her.
This particular example shows how every single SPL based operator in an application
graph will take part in the consistent region. This example simulates the operator
failure by aborting that operator automatically when the application is
in the middle of executing the logic. By doing that, the core fault tolerance
feature of the consistent region will get triggered to recover from a
failure that occurred in an application graph. It will prove that the
tuples will not be missed and the local operator state will not be
compromised during the course of the unexpected operator failure and the
subsequent recovery/restoration.
Initial Streams setup needed before running this example
---------------------------------------------------------
To use the consistent region feature, one must run the application in the
Distributed mode. Before that, certain configuration needs to be completed;
i.e. Streams checkpoint back-end related properties must be set. One can use
the file system or an external Redis infrastructure as a checkpoint back-end.
In this example, we will use the filesystem by setting the following
Streams instance properties:
streamtool setproperty instance.checkpointRepository=fileSystem -d <YOUR_DOMAIN_ID> -i <YOUR_INSTANCE_ID>
streamtool setproperty instance.checkpointRepositoryConfiguration={\"Dir\":\"/your/checkpoint/directory/here/\"}
Compile and Run
---------------
1) You can either compile this application inside the Streams Studio or from a Linux
terminal window via the sc (Streams compiler) command.
2) You can launch from Streams Studio or submit via the streamtool command.
In the resulting output file in the data directory will show you that there is no
gap in the joined pairs of odd and even numbers. If that is the case , then the
consistent region feature worked correctly during and after the forced
crash of this application.
