Flink offers various methods for performing multi-field sorting. Here are some commonly used ones:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. MapFunction from the org.apache.flink.api.common.functions package.<\/li>\n
  2. tuple class from the org.apache.flink.api.java package<\/li>\n
  3. KeySelector from org.apache.flink.api.java.functions<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Example code:<\/p>\n

    DataStream<Tuple2<String, Integer>> dataStream = ...;\r\n\r\nDataStream<Tuple2<String, Integer>> sortedStream = dataStream\r\n    .map(new MapFunction<Tuple2<String, Integer>, Tuple2<String, Integer>>() {\r\n        @Override\r\n        public Tuple2<String, Integer> map(Tuple2<String, Integer> value) throws Exception {\r\n            return value;\r\n        }\r\n    })\r\n    .keyBy(new KeySelector<Tuple2<String, Integer>, String>() {\r\n        @Override\r\n        public String getKey(Tuple2<String, Integer> value) throws Exception {\r\n            return value.f0;\r\n        }\r\n    })\r\n    .flatMap(new OrderByFieldsFunction());\r\n\r\npublic class OrderByFieldsFunction extends RichFlatMapFunction<Tuple2<String, Integer>, Tuple2<String, Integer>> {\r\n    private SortedMap<Tuple2<String, Integer>> sortedData;\r\n\r\n    @Override\r\n    public void open(Configuration parameters) throws Exception {\r\n        sortedData = new TreeMap<>();\r\n    }\r\n\r\n    @Override\r\n    public void flatMap(Tuple2<String, Integer> value, Collector<Tuple2<String, Integer>> out) throws Exception {\r\n        sortedData.put(value);\r\n        for (Tuple2<String, Integer> entry : sortedData.entrySet()) {\r\n            out.collect(entry);\r\n        }\r\n    }\r\n}\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
      \n
    1. ProcessFunction from the org.apache.flink.streaming.api.functions package<\/li>\n
    2. a PriorityQueue from the java.util package<\/li>\n
    3. when the timer is activated<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      Sample code:<\/p>\n
      DataStream<Tuple2<String, Integer>> dataStream = ...;\r\n\r\nDataStream<Tuple2<String, Integer>> sortedStream = dataStream\r\n    .process(new SortByFieldsProcessFunction());\r\n\r\npublic class SortByFieldsProcessFunction extends ProcessFunction<Tuple2<String, Integer>, Tuple2<String, Integer>> {\r\n    private PriorityQueue<Tuple2<String, Integer>> queue;\r\n\r\n    @Override\r\n    public void open(Configuration parameters) throws Exception {\r\n        queue = new PriorityQueue<>(new Comparator<Tuple2<String, Integer>>() {\r\n            @Override\r\n            public int compare(Tuple2<String, Integer> o1, Tuple2<String, Integer> o2) {\r\n                \/\/ \u81ea\u5b9a\u4e49\u6bd4\u8f83\u89c4\u5219\r\n                if (o1.f0.equals(o2.f0)) {\r\n                    return o1.f1.compareTo(o2.f1);\r\n                } else {\r\n                    return o1.f0.compareTo(o2.f0);\r\n                }\r\n            }\r\n        });\r\n    }\r\n\r\n    @Override\r\n    public void processElement(Tuple2<String, Integer> value, Context ctx, Collector<Tuple2<String, Integer>> out) throws Exception {\r\n        \/\/ \u5c06\u6570\u636e\u5b58\u5165\u4f18\u5148\u961f\u5217\r\n        queue.offer(value);\r\n        \/\/ \u5728\u89e6\u53d1\u5668\u4e2d\u8fdb\u884c\u6392\u5e8f\u548c\u8f93\u51fa\r\n        ctx.timerService().registerProcessingTimeTimer(1000);\r\n    }\r\n\r\n    @Override\r\n    public void onTimer(long timestamp, OnTimerContext ctx, Collector<Tuple2<String, Integer>> out) throws Exception {\r\n        while (!queue.isEmpty()) {\r\n            out.collect(queue.poll());\r\n        }\r\n    }\r\n}\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
