Config FE

In the storage-computation separation mode, the FE (Frontend) is primarily responsible for SQL parsing and interacts with the metadata management component, MetaService. FE supports distributed deployment, and by default, it uses a master-observer configuration. Doris Operator supports deploying the storage-computation separation mode on Kubernetes for Doris versions 3.0.2 and above.

Resource configuration

Configuring compute resources

By default, FE deployments on Kubernetes do not limit resource usage. The DorisDisaggregatedCluster uses Kubernetes' requests and limits to configure compute resources. To allocate 8 CPU cores and 8 Gi of memory to the FE service, use the following configuration:

spec:
  feSpec:
    requests:
      cpu: 8
      memory: 8Gi
    limits:
      cpu: 8
      memory: 8Gi

Update the above configuration in the DorisDisaggregatedCluster resource.

Configuring storage resources

The FE service in the storage-computation separation cluster is a stateful service. When deployed on Kubernetes, it requires persistent storage for metadata. Doris Operator automatically mounts the persistent storage based on the configuration of the metadata storage directory and the storage template. Add the following configuration to the DorisDisaggregatedCluster resource:

spec:
  feSpec:
    persistentVolume:
      persistentVolumeClaimSpec:
        storageClassName: ${storageClassName}
        accessModes:
        - ReadWriteOnce
        resources:
          requests:
            storage: ${storageSize}

Here, ${storageClassName} is the name of the desired StorageClass. If not specified, the cluster’s default StorageClass will be used. ${storageSize} indicates the storage capacity you wish to allocate, and the format follows Kubernetes' quantity notation, for example: 100Gi.

Custom startup configuration

Doris Operator uses Kubernetes' ConfigMap to mount the startup configuration.

1. Creating a Custom ConfigMap with Startup Configuration.
   Below is an example of a ConfigMap for FE, which includes the startup configuration:

apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: fe-configmap
  namespace: default
  labels:
    app.kubernetes.io/component: fe
data:
  fe.conf: |
    CUR_DATE=`date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S`
    # Log dir
    LOG_DIR = ${DORIS_HOME}/log
    # For jdk 17, this JAVA_OPTS will be used as default JVM options
    JAVA_OPTS_FOR_JDK_17="-Djavax.security.auth.useSubjectCredsOnly=false -Xmx8192m -Xms8192m -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -XX:HeapDumpPath=$LOG_DIR -Xlog:gc*:$LOG_DIR/fe.gc.log.$CUR_DATE:time,uptime:filecount=10,filesize=50M --add-opens=java.base/java.nio=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens java.base/jdk.internal.ref=ALL-UNNAMED"
    # INFO, WARN, ERROR, FATAL
    sys_log_level = INFO
    # NORMAL, BRIEF, ASYNC
    sys_log_mode = NORMAL
    # Default dirs to put jdbc drivers,default value is ${DORIS_HOME}/jdbc_drivers
    # jdbc_drivers_dir = ${DORIS_HOME}/jdbc_drivers
    http_port = 8030
    rpc_port = 9020
    query_port = 9030
    edit_log_port = 9010
    enable_fqdn_mode=true

In Kubernetes deployments, enable_fqdn_mode=true must be set. 2. Use the following command to deploy the ConfigMap:

kubectl apply -n ${namespace} -f ${feConfigMapName}.yaml

Where ${namespace} is the namespace of the DorisDisaggregatedCluster and ${feConfigMapName} is the filename containing the above configuration.
3. Update the DorisDisaggregatedCluster resource as follows:

spec:
  feSpec:
    replicas: 2
    configMaps:
    - name: fe-configmap

In the DorisDisaggregatedCluster resource, the configMaps field is an array, with each element’s name representing the name of the ConfigMap in the current namespace.

Tip

1. In Kubernetes deployments, no need to manually set meta_service_endpoint, deploy_mode, or cluster_id in the startup configuration. These are automatically handled by Doris Operator services.
2. When customizing the startup configuration in Kubernetes, always set enable_fqdn_mode=true.
