Thanks for your prompt response, you are right Jim. There is a static dependency to Log4J in my lexicoder. Adding the Log4J Jar to the classpath solved the problem. Would you suggest to use an Uber Jar to avoid this kind of problems?

Did you provide all the dependencies for your class on Accumulo's classpath? That exception (or similar) can occur if there is a static block in your MyLexicoder class which can't run properly.

Both this two classes are packed in the same jar that has been deployed under the directory $ACCUMULO_HOME/lib/extof my Accumulo servers (version 1.7.1). The lexicoder is used by the filter to get the real object from the accumulo value and test some conditions on it. When I tried to scan the table applying this filter I got the following exception: Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class accumulo.lexicoders.MyLexicoder at accumulo.filters.MyFilter.<init>(MyFilter.java:24) at sun.reflect.GeneratedConstructorAccessor9.newInstance(Unknown Source) at sun.reflect.DelegatingConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance(DelegatingConstructorAccessorImpl.java:45) at java.lang.reflect.Constructor.newInstance(Constructor.java:422) at java.lang.Class.newInstance(Class.java:442) at org.apache.accumulo.core.iterators.IteratorUtil.loadIterators(IteratorUtil.java:261) at org.apache.accumulo.core.iterators.IteratorUtil.loadIterators(IteratorUtil.java:237) at org.apache.accumulo.core.iterators.IteratorUtil.loadIterators(IteratorUtil.java:218) at org.apache.accumulo.core.iterators.IteratorUtil.loadIterators(IteratorUtil.java:205) at org.apache.accumulo.tserver.tablet.ScanDataSource.createIterator(ScanDataSource.java:193) at org.apache.accumulo.tserver.tablet.ScanDataSource.iterator(ScanDataSource.java:127) at org.apache.accumulo.core.iterators.system.SourceSwitchingIterator.seek(SourceSwitchingIterator.java:180) at org.apache.accumulo.tserver.tablet.Tablet.nextBatch(Tablet.java:880) at org.apache.accumulo.tserver.tablet.Scanner.read(Scanner.java:98) at org.apache.accumulo.tserver.scan.NextBatchTask.run(NextBatchTask.java:69) at org.apache.htrace.wrappers.TraceRunnable.run(TraceRunnable.java:57) ... 4 more I do not undestand how it is possible that the class loader is able to find the filter and no the lexicoder. Am I missing something? Thanks, Massimiliano
