I'm performing a Database operation in the doInBackground method inside an AsyncTask on Android.
For some reason, the UI get blocked during the 5-6 seconds that the operation takes.
It does not make any sense for me, the operacion inside the doInBackground should not be executed in the UI Thread, right?
Here is my code:
private class CountItems extends AsyncTask<String, Void, Integer> {
private ProgressDialog dialog;
#Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
dialog = new ProgressDialog(context);
dialog.setCancelable(false);
dialog.setMessage(getString(R.string.asynTask_loading));
dialog.show();
}
#Override
protected Integer doInBackground(String... params) {
// This operation takes 5-6 seconds.
return app.databaseSession().getMyObjectDao().count(selectedProject, filter, null, false);
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(Integer result) {
counterTextView.setText(String.valueOf(result));
if (dialog.isShowing()) {
dialog.dismiss();
}
}
}
I've made a test. If I put a Thread.sleep() inside the doInBackground method, it is executed in a different Thread without blocking the UI.
Like this:
#Override
protected Integer doInBackground(String... params) {
try {
Thread.sleep(3000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return 0;
}
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

I have a flink program with source from kafka, and i opened three windowedStream：seconds, minutes,hours.Then sending window result to others by AsyncHttpSink extends RichSinkFunction.But i found that same window，one kafka message, same result may invoke AsyncHttpSink.invoke() function multiple times which aroused my curiosity.Shouldn't it happen just once in same window，one kafka message, same result?
hourOperator.addSink(httpSink(WindowType.h));
minuteOperator.addSink(httpSink(WindowType.m));
secondOperator.addSink(httpSink(WindowType.s));
/**
* http sink
*/
public class AsyncHttpSink extends RichSinkFunction<Tuple3<String, Long, Map<String, Tuple2<XXX, Object>>>> {
public AsyncHttpSink(WindowType windowType) {
this.windowType = windowType;
}
#Override
public void open(Configuration parameters) throws Exception {
httpClient = HttpAsyncClients.custom()
.build();
httpClient.start();
}
#Override
public void close() throws Exception {
httpClient.close();
}
#Override
public void invoke(Tuple3<String, Long, Map<String, Tuple2<XXX, Object>>> tuple3, Context context) throws Exception {
httpClient.execute(httpPost, new FutureCallback<HttpResponse>() {
#Override
public void completed(HttpResponse response) {
try {
logger.info("[httpSink]http sink completed.");
} catch (IOException e) {
logger.error("[httpSink]http sink completed. exception:", e);
}
}
#Override
public void failed(Exception ex) {
logger.error("[httpSink]http sink failed.", ex);
}
#Override
public void cancelled() {
logger.info("[httpSink]http sink cancelled.");
}
});
}
}
If this is a keyed window, then each distinct key that has results for a given window will report its results separately.
And you may have several parallel instances of the sink.
I'm fairly new to Flink and would be grateful for any advice with this issue.
I wrote a job that receives some input events and compares them with some rules before forwarding them on to kafka topics based on whatever rules match. I implemented this using a flatMap and found it worked well, with one downside: I was loading the rules just once, during application startup, by calling an API from my main() method, and passing the result of this API call into the flatMap function. This worked, but it means that if there are any changes to the rules I have to restart the application, so I wanted to improve it.
I found this page in the documentation which seems to be an appropriate solution to the problem. I wrote a custom source to poll my Rules API every few minutes, and then used a BroadcastProcessFunction, with the Rules added to to the broadcast state using processBroadcastElement and the events processed by processElement.
The solution is working, but with one problem. My first approach using a FlatMap would process the events almost instantly. Now that I changed to a BroadcastProcessFunction each event takes 60 seconds to process, and it seems to be more or less exactly 60 seconds every time with almost no variation. I made no changes to the rule matching logic itself.
I've had a look through the documentation and I can't seem to find a reason for this, so I'd appreciate if anyone more experienced in flink could offer a suggestion as to what might cause this delay.
The job:
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
// set up the streaming execution environment
final StreamExecutionEnvironment env = StreamExecutionEnvironment.getExecutionEnvironment();
env.setStreamTimeCharacteristic(TimeCharacteristic.IngestionTime);
// read the input from Kafka
DataStream<KafkaEvent> documentStream = env.addSource(
createKafkaSource(getSourceTopic(), getSourceProperties())).name("Kafka[" + getSourceTopic() + "]");
// Configure the Rules data stream
DataStream<RulesEvent> ruleStream = env.addSource(
new RulesApiHttpSource(
getApiRulesSubdomain(),
getApiBearerToken(),
DataType.DataTypeName.LOGS,
getRulesApiCacheDuration()) // Currently set to 120000
);
MapStateDescriptor<String, RulesEvent> ruleStateDescriptor = new MapStateDescriptor<>(
"RulesBroadcastState",
BasicTypeInfo.STRING_TYPE_INFO,
TypeInformation.of(new TypeHint<RulesEvent>() {
}));
// broadcast the rules and create the broadcast state
BroadcastStream<RulesEvent> ruleBroadcastStream = ruleStream
.broadcast(ruleStateDescriptor);
// extract the resources and attributes
documentStream
.connect(ruleBroadcastStream)
.process(new FanOutLogsRuleMapper()).name("FanOut Stream")
.addSink(createKafkaSink(getDestinationProperties()))
.name("FanOut Sink");
// run the job
env.execute(FanOutJob.class.getName());
}
The custom HTTP source which gets the rules
public class RulesApiHttpSource extends RichSourceFunction<RulesEvent> {
private static final Logger LOGGER = LoggerFactory.getLogger(RulesApiHttpSource.class);
private final long pollIntervalMillis;
private final String endpoint;
private final String bearerToken;
private final DataType.DataTypeName dataType;
private final RulesApiCaller caller;
private volatile boolean running = true;
public RulesApiHttpSource(String endpoint, String bearerToken, DataType.DataTypeName dataType, long pollIntervalMillis) {
this.pollIntervalMillis = pollIntervalMillis;
this.endpoint = endpoint;
this.bearerToken = bearerToken;
this.dataType = dataType;
this.caller = new RulesApiCaller(this.endpoint, this.bearerToken);
}
#Override
public void open(Configuration configuration) throws Exception {
// do nothing
}
#Override
public void close() throws IOException {
// do nothing
}
#Override
public void run(SourceContext<RulesEvent> ctx) throws IOException {
while (running) {
if (pollIntervalMillis > 0) {
try {
RulesEvent event = new RulesEvent();
event.setRules(getCurrentRulesList());
event.setDataType(this.dataType);
event.setRetrievedAt(Instant.now());
ctx.collect(event);
Thread.sleep(pollIntervalMillis);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
running = false;
}
} else if (pollIntervalMillis <= 0) {
cancel();
}
}
}
public List<Rule> getCurrentRulesList() throws IOException {
// call API and get rulles
}
#Override
public void cancel() {
running = false;
}
}
The BroadcastProcessFunction
public abstract class FanOutRuleMapper extends BroadcastProcessFunction<KafkaEvent, RulesEvent, KafkaEvent> {
protected final String RULES_EVENT_NAME = "rulesEvent";
protected final MapStateDescriptor<String, RulesEvent> ruleStateDescriptor = new MapStateDescriptor<>(
"RulesBroadcastState",
BasicTypeInfo.STRING_TYPE_INFO,
TypeInformation.of(new TypeHint<RulesEvent>() {
}));
#Override
public void processBroadcastElement(RulesEvent rulesEvent, BroadcastProcessFunction<KafkaEvent, RulesEvent, KafkaEvent>.Context ctx, Collector<KafkaEvent> out) throws Exception {
ctx.getBroadcastState(ruleStateDescriptor).put(RULES_EVENT_NAME, rulesEvent);
LOGGER.debug("Added to broadcast state {}", rulesEvent.toString());
}
// omitted rules matching logic
}
public class FanOutLogsRuleMapper extends FanOutRuleMapper {
public FanOutLogsJobRuleMapper() {
super();
}
#Override
public void processElement(KafkaEvent in, BroadcastProcessFunction<KafkaEvent, RulesEvent, KafkaEvent>.ReadOnlyContext ctx, Collector<KafkaEvent> out) throws Exception {
RulesEvent rulesEvent = ctx.getBroadcastState(ruleStateDescriptor).get(RULES_EVENT_NAME);
ExportLogsServiceRequest otlpLog = extractOtlpMessageFromJsonPayload(in);
for (Rule rule : rulesEvent.getRules()) {
boolean match = false;
// omitted rules matching logic
if (match) {
for (RuleDestination ruleDestination : rule.getRulesDestinations()) {
out.collect(fillInTheEvent(in, rule, ruleDestination, otlpLog));
}
}
}
}
}
Maybe you can give the complete code of the FanOutLogsRuleMapper class, currently the match variable is always false
When I need to work with I/O (Query DB, Call to the third API,...), I can use RichAsyncFunction. But I need to interact with Google Sheet via GG Sheet API: https://developers.google.com/sheets/api/quickstart/java. This API is sync. I wrote below code snippet:
public class SendGGSheetFunction extends RichAsyncFunction<Obj, String> {
#Override
public void asyncInvoke(Obj message, final ResultFuture<String> resultFuture) {
CompletableFuture.supplyAsync(() -> {
syncSendToGGSheet(message);
return "";
}).thenAccept((String result) -> {
resultFuture.complete(Collections.singleton(result));
});
}
}
But I found that message send to GGSheet very slow, It seems to send by synchronous.
Most of the code executed by users in AsyncIO is sync originally. You just need to ensure, it's actually executed in a separate thread. Most commonly a (statically shared) ExecutorService is used.
private class SendGGSheetFunction extends RichAsyncFunction<Obj, String> {
private transient ExecutorService executorService;
#Override
public void open(Configuration parameters) throws Exception {
super.open(parameters);
executorService = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(30);
}
#Override
public void close() throws Exception {
super.close();
executorService.shutdownNow();
}
#Override
public void asyncInvoke(final Obj message, final ResultFuture<String> resultFuture) {
executorService.submit(() -> {
try {
resultFuture.complete(syncSendToGGSheet(message));
} catch (SQLException e) {
resultFuture.completeExceptionally(e);
}
});
}
}
Here are some considerations on how to tune AsyncIO to increase throughput: http://apache-flink-user-mailing-list-archive.2336050.n4.nabble.com/Flink-Async-IO-operator-tuning-micro-benchmarks-td35858.html
Can someone please help me understand when and how is the window (session) in flink happens? Or how the samples are processed?
For instance, if I have a continuous stream of events flowing in, events being request coming in an application and response provided by the application.
As part of the flink processing we need to understand how much time is taken for serving a request.
I understand that there are time tumbling windows which gets triggered every n seconds which is configured and as soon as the time lapses then all the events in that time window will be aggregated.
So for example:
Let's assume that the time window defined is 30 seconds and if an event arrives at t time and another arrives at t+30 then both will be processed, but an event arrivng at t+31 will be ignored.
Please correct if I am not right in saying the above statement.
Question on the above is: if say an event arrives at t time and another event arrives at t+3 time, will it still wait for entire 30 seconds to aggregate and finalize the results?
Now in case of session window, how does this work? If the event are being processed individually and the broker time stamp is used as session_id for the individual event at the time of deserialization, then the session window will that be created for each event? If yes then do we need to treat request and response events differently because if we don't then doesn't the response event will get its own session window?
I will try posting my example (in java) that I am playing with in short time but any inputs on the above points will be helpful!

From your description, I think you want to write a custom ProcessFunction, which is keyed by the session_id. You'll have a ValueState, where you store the timestamp for the request event. When you get the corresponding response event, you calculate the delta and emit that (with the session_id) and clear out state.
It's likely you'd also want to set a timer when you get the request event, so that if you don't get a response event in safe/long amount of time, you can emit a side output of failed requests.
So, with the default trigger, each window is finalized after it's time fully passes. Depending on whether You are using EventTime or ProcessingTime this may mean different things, but in general, Flink will always wait for the Window to be closed before it is fully processed. The event at t+31 in Your case would simply go to the other window.
As for the session windows, they are windows too, meaning that in the end they simply aggregate samples that have a difference between timestamps lower than the defined gap. Internally, this is more complicated than the normal windows, since they don't have defined starts and ends. The Session Window operator gets sample and creates a new Window for each individual sample. Then, the operator verifies, if the newly created window can be merged with already existing ones (i.e. if their timestamps are closer than the gap) and merges them. This finally results with window that has all elements with timestamps closer to each other than the defined gap.
You are making this more complicated than it needs to be. The example below will need some adjustment, but will hopefully convey the idea of how to use a KeyedProcessFunction rather than session windows.
Also, the constructor for BoundedOutOfOrdernessTimestampExtractor expects to be passed a Time maxOutOfOrderness. Not sure why you are overriding its getCurrentWatermark method with an implementation that ignores the maxOutOfOrderness.
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
final StreamExecutionEnvironment env = StreamExecutionEnvironment.getExecutionEnvironment();

// emit the time elapsed between request and response

I am writting a pipe to group session for a user keyed by id and window using eventSessionWindow. I am using the Periodic WM and a custom session accumulator which will count the event is a given session.
What is happenning is my window operator is consuming records but not emmiting out. I am not sure what is missing here.

If your watermarks are not advancing, this would explain why no results are being emitted by the window. Possible causes include:
Your events haven't been timestamped by Kafka, and thus previousElementTimestamp isn't set.
You have an idle Kafka partition holding back the watermarks. (This is a somewhat complex topic. If this turns out to be the cause of your problems, and you get stuck on it, please come back with a new question.)
Another possibility is that there is never a 5 minute-long gap in the events, in which case the events will accumulate in a never-ending session.
Also, you don't appear to have included a sink. If you don't print or otherwise send the results to a sink, Flink won't do anything.
And don't forget that you must call env.execute() to get anything to happen.
A few other things:
Your watermark generator isn't allowing for any out-of-orderness, so the window is going to ignore all out-of-order events (because they will be late). If your events have strictly ascending timestamps you should go ahead and use a AscendingTimestampExtractor; if they can be out-of-order, then a BoundedOutOfOrdernessTimestampExtractor is appropriate.
Your WindowFunction is superfluous. It is simply forwarding downstream the result from the aggregator, so you could remove it.
You have posted two different implementations of SessionAccumulator.
