Configuration

The cluster definition also supports overriding configuration properties and environment variables, either per role or per role group, where the more specific override (role group) has precedence over the less specific one (role).

Do not override port numbers. This will lead to faulty installations.

Configuration Properties

For a role or role group, at the same level of config, you can specify: configOverrides for:

config.properties
node.properties
log.properties
password-authenticator.properties

For a list of possible configuration properties consult the Trino Properties Reference.

workers:
  roleGroups:
    default:
      config: {}
      replicas: 1
      configOverrides:
        config.properties:
          query.max-memory-per-node: "2GB"

Just as for the config, it is possible to specify this at role level as well:

workers:
  configOverrides:
    config.properties:
      query.max-memory-per-node: "2GB"
  roleGroups:
    default:
      config: {}
      replicas: 1

All override property values must be strings. The properties will be passed on without any escaping or formatting.

Environment Variables

Environment variables can be (over)written by adding the envOverrides property.

For example per role group:

workers:
  roleGroups:
    default:
      config: {}
      replicas: 1
      envOverrides:
        JAVA_HOME: "path/to/java"

or per role:

workers:
  envOverrides:
    JAVA_HOME: "path/to/java"
  roleGroups:
    default:
      config: {}
      replicas: 1

Here too, overriding properties such as http-server.https.port will lead to broken installations.

Resources

Storage for data volumes

You can mount a volume where data (config and logs of Trino) is stored by specifying PersistentVolumeClaims for each individual role or role group:

workers:
  config:
    resources:
      storage:
        data:
          capacity: 2Gi
  roleGroups:
    default:
      config:
        resources:
          storage:
            data:
              capacity: 3Gi

In the above example, all Trino workers in the default group will store data (the location of the property --data-dir) on a 3Gi volume. Additional role groups not specifying any resources will inherit the config provided on the role level (2Gi volume). This works the same for memory or CPU requests.

By default, in case nothing is configured in the custom resource for a certain role group, each Pod will have a 2Gi large local volume mount for the data location containing mainly logs.

Resource Requests

Stackable operators handle resource requests in a sligtly different manner than Kubernetes. Resource requests are defined on role or group level. See Roles and role groups for details on these concepts. On a role level this means that e.g. all workers will use the same resource requests and limits. This can be further specified on role group level (which takes priority to the role level) to apply different resources.

This is an example on how to specify CPU and memory resources using the Stackable Custom Resources:

---
apiVersion: example.stackable.tech/v1alpha1
kind: ExampleCluster
metadata:
  name: example
spec:
  workers: # role-level
    config:
      resources:
        cpu:
          min: 300m
          max: 600m
        memory:
          limit: 3Gi
    roleGroups: # role-group-level
      resources-from-role: # role-group 1
        replicas: 1
      resources-from-role-group: # role-group 2
        replicas: 1
        config:
          resources:
            cpu:
              min: 400m
              max: 800m
            memory:
              limit: 4Gi

In this case, the role group resources-from-role will inherit the resources specified on the role level. Resulting in a maximum of 3Gi memory and 600m CPU resources.

The role group resources-from-role-group has maximum of 4Gi memory and 800m CPU resources (which overrides the role CPU resources).

For Java products the actual used Heap memory is lower than the specified memory limit due to other processes in the Container requiring memory to run as well. Currently, 80% of the specified memory limits is passed to the JVM.

For memory only a limit can be specified, which will be set as memory request and limit in the Container. This is to always guarantee a Container the full amount memory during Kubernetes scheduling.

If no resource requests are configured explicitly, the Trino operator uses the following defaults:

workers:
  roleGroups:
    default:
      config:
        resources:
          requests:
            cpu: 200m
            memory: 2Gi
          limits:
            cpu: "4"
            memory: 2Gi
          storage:
            data:
              capacity: 2Gi

The default values are most likely not sufficient to run a proper cluster in production. Please adapt according to your requirements.
