The Joy of JARs (and Other Flink SQL Troubleshooting Tales) by Robin Moffatt

Apache Flink is a powerful thing to work with but, my, it does test one’s patience sometimes ;-) Particularly if you’re new to using it, understanding how to troubleshoot problems that arise is an important survival skill to acquire. This talk will be a hands-on demonstration packed full of practical tips to solving some of the most common problems that can occur in Flink SQL. We’ll spend time looking at JAR files - what they are, how to find the one you need, and how to check you’ve put it in the right place. After that I’ll show you some of the really funky head-scratching problems that I’ve encountered, including debugging Iceberg, Flink, and Hive Metastore…on Docker containers. Along with all of this I’ll show you some of my favourite bash-based troubleshooting tools. You’ll leave this talk equipped with the knowledge of how to methodically troubleshooting Flink SQL problems, understanding of the primary moving parts of the stack—and some nice additions to your command-line toolkit.

Current 2024 Recap

A look at the highlights and noteworthy events of Current 2024, including the four talks presented by Decodable's team of experts.

I'm a sucker for a nice plushy. And these two are from #current24 and reprisent my favourite raft powered distributed systems, #TiDB and #Redpanda!
Both which work great with @ververicadata and #apacheflink

As the sun sets on #current24, please enjoy this brief—and only slightly snarky—recap of some of the highlights :) 👇

It's a mini, early #oktoberFest at #current24 with @ververicadata!
Come find us at the booth at 3:30 pm for beer and snacks!
OMG, this brings back memories #keynote #current24
Today the Meetup Hub at @confluentinc #current24 is buzzing with a super amazing DJ. Tomorrow, I will be shifting gears to entertain you with a slightly more technical topic on observing Kafka and Flink with OpenTelemetry. Join me and @newrelic for an insightful session!
