Preparations

Preparing the Tutorial Environment

To follow this tutorial, you will need some software installed and a couple of Docker images and Maven artifacts on your machine. To avoid over-utilization of the conference network and save time, we recommend to install all software and download the required docker images and Maven artifacts beforehand before attending the tutorial.

Required Software

We recommend a notebook with at least 8 GB memory and 4 CPU cores.

The following software is required:

• Git
• Maven 3.2+
• Java 1.8+
• A Java IDE (IntelliJ, Eclipse, Netbeans, ...)
• Docker (incl. Docker Compose)

Docker Configuration

We recommend to run Docker with at least 3-4 GB memory and 2-3 CPU cores.

Windows Users: You need to share the Windows drive (for example C:) that you are starting the playground from with Docker. This is done in the "Shared Drives" tab of the Docker settings. Docker will mount the Flink configuration into the Flink containers and use the Windows file system to store checkpoint and savepoint data.

Downloading the Docker Images and Maven Artifacts

1. Cloning this repository and enter the tutorial folder

git clone https://github.com/fhueske/flink-intro-tutorial
cd flink-intro-tutorial

2. Download the Docker containers for the operations playground

cd operations-playground
docker-compose pull
cd ..

3. Download the Docker containers for the SQL playground

cd sql-playground
docker-compose pull
cd ..

4. Download the Maven artifacts

cd fraud-detection-job
mvn clean package
cd ..
