Emitting current state to a sink
Hi,
We have a keyed pipeline with persisted state.
Is there a way to broadcast a command and collect all values that persisted
in the state ?
The end result can be for example sending a fetch command to all operators
and emitting the results to some sink
why do we need it ? from time to time we might want to check if we are
missing keys what are the additional keys or simply emit the current state
to a table and to query it.
I tried simply broadcasting a command and addressing the persisted state
but that resulted with:
java.lang.NullPointerException: No key set. This method should not be
called outside of a keyed context.
is there a good way to achieve that ?
Cheers
Avi

you get the context and the collector in the processBroadcastElement method see snippet below
override def processBroadcastElement(value: BroadcastRequest, ctx: KeyedBroadcastProcessFunction[String, Request, BroadcastRequest, String]#Context, out: Collector[String]): Unit = {
....
ctxctx.applyToKeyedState(stateDescriptor, new KeyedStateFunction[String, ValueState[String]] { override def process(key: String, state: ValueState[String]): Unit = Option(state.value()).foreach(s => out.collect(s))

Hi Avi:
Can you please elaborate (or include an example/code snippet) of how you were able to achieve collecting the keyed states from the processBroadcastElement method using the applyToKeyedState ?
I am trying to understand which collector you used to emit the state since the broadcasted elements/state might be different from the non-broadcast elements/state.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Avi,
I'm not sure if you cannot emit data from the keyed state when you receive a broadcasted message.
The Context parameter of the processBroadcastElement() method in the KeyedBroadcastProcessFunction has the applyToKeyedState() method.The method takes a KeyedStateFunction that is applied to each key of a state, but does not provide a Collector to emit data.Maybe you can pass the collector to the KeyedStateFunction and emit records while it iterates over the key space.
Best, Fabian

Hi Avi,
did you have a look at the .connect() and .broadcast() API
functionalities? They allow you to broadcast a control stream to all
operators. Maybe this example [1] or other examples in this repository
can help you.

Sure!
you get the context and the collector in the processBroadcastElement method
see snippet below
override def processBroadcastElement(value: BroadcastRequest, ctx:
KeyedBroadcastProcessFunction[String, Request, BroadcastRequest,
String]#Context, out: Collector[String]): Unit = {
....
ctxctx.applyToKeyedState(stateDescriptor, new
KeyedStateFunction[String, ValueState[String]] {
override def process(key: String, state: ValueState[String]): Unit =
Option(state.value()).foreach(s => out.collect(s))
})
...
}

Hi Timo,
I defiantly did. but broadcasting a command and trying to address the
persisted state (I mean the state of the data stream and not the
broadcasted one) you get the exception that I wrote
(java.lang.NullPointerException: No key set. This method should not be
called outside of a keyed context). e.g doing something like
override def processBroadcastElement(value: BroadcastRequest, ctx:
KeyedBroadcastProcessFunction[String, Request, BroadcastRequest,
Response]#Context, out: Collector[Response]): Unit = {
value match {
case Command(StateCmd.Fetch, _) =>
if (state.value() != null) {
ouout.collecy(state.value())
}
will yield that exception
