Hi Tsung-Han, Thanks for your report.
I can not reproduce your issue on my MacOS.. The similar report on [1] may be caused if your maven building process is interrupted. But after reading the source code of `start-client.sh`, I think your solution 2 is needed: Now, `start-client.sh` requires copying jars from the `iotdb` module rather than just from the `iotdb-cli` module. That does not make sense. We are very glad to see the coming PR from you.
