Writing Data to OBS Using Flink Jar

Overview

DLI allows you to use a custom JAR package to run Flink jobs and write data to OBS. This section describes how to write processed Kafka data to OBS. You need to modify the parameters in the example Java code based on site requirements.

Environment Preparations

Development tools such as IntelliJ IDEA and other development tools, JDK, and Maven have been installed and configured.

  • For details about how to configure the pom.xml file of the Maven project, see "POM file configurations" in Java Example Code (Flink 1.12).
  • Ensure that you can access the public network in the local compilation environment.

Constraints

  • In the left navigation pane of the DLI console, choose Global Configuration > Service Authorization. On the page displayed, select Tenant Administrator(Global service) and click Update.
  • The bucket to which data is written must be an OBS bucket created by a main account.
  • When using Flink 1.15, users need to configure agencies themselves to avoid potential impacts on job execution.
