Hi, I recently tried to update a flink job from 1.3.2 to 1.6.0. It deploys successfully as usual, but logs the following exception shortly after starting:
Caused by: org.apache.avro.AvroRuntimeException: avro.shaded.com.google.common.util.concurrent.UncheckedExecutionException: org.apache.avro.AvroRuntimeException: Not a Specific class: class uk.co.test.serde.AlertEvent at org.apache.avro.specific.SpecificData.getSchema(SpecificData.java:227) at org.apache.flink.formats.avro.typeutils.AvroSerializer.initializeAvro(AvroSerializer.java:367) at org.apache.flink.formats.avro.typeutils.AvroSerializer.checkAvroInitialized(AvroSerializer.java:357) at org.apache.flink.formats.avro.typeutils.AvroSerializer.snapshotConfiguration(AvroSerializer.java:269) at org.apache.flink.runtime.state.RegisteredKeyValueStateBackendMetaInfo.computeSnapshot(RegisteredKeyValueStateBackendMetaInfo.java:241) at org.apache.flink.runtime.state.RegisteredKeyValueStateBackendMetaInfo.snapshot(RegisteredKeyValueStateBackendMetaInfo.java:226) at org.apache.flink.runtime.state.heap.CopyOnWriteStateTableSnapshot.getMetaInfoSnapshot(CopyOnWriteStateTableSnapshot.java:173) at org.apache.flink.runtime.state.heap.HeapKeyedStateBackend$HeapSnapshotStrategy.processSnapshotMetaInfoForAllStates(HeapKeyedStateBackend.java:880) at org.apache.flink.runtime.state.heap.HeapKeyedStateBackend$HeapSnapshotStrategy.performSnapshot(HeapKeyedStateBackend.java:719) at org.apache.flink.runtime.state.heap.HeapKeyedStateBackend.snapshot(HeapKeyedStateBackend.java:355) at org.apache.flink.streaming.api.operators.AbstractStreamOperator.snapshotState(AbstractStreamOperator.java:383) ... 13 more Caused by: avro.shaded.com.google.common.util.concurrent.UncheckedExecutionException: org.apache.avro.AvroRuntimeException: Not a Specific class: class uk.co.test.serde.AlertEvent at avro.shaded.com.google.common.cache.LocalCache$Segment.get(LocalCache.java:2234) at avro.shaded.com.google.common.cache.LocalCache.get(LocalCache.java:3965) at avro.shaded.com.google.common.cache.LocalCache.getOrLoad(LocalCache.java:3969) at avro.shaded.com.google.common.cache.LocalCache$LocalManualCache.get(LocalCache.java:4829) at org.apache.avro.specific.SpecificData.getSchema(SpecificData.java:225) ... 23 more Caused by: org.apache.avro.AvroRuntimeException: Not a Specific class: class uk.co.AlertEvent at org.apache.avro.specific.SpecificData.createSchema(SpecificData.java:285) at org.apache.avro.specific.SpecificData$2.load(SpecificData.java:218) at org.apache.avro.specific.SpecificData$2.load(SpecificData.java:215) at avro.shaded.com.google.common.cache.LocalCache$LoadingValueReference.loadFuture(LocalCache.java:3568) at avro.shaded.com.google.common.cache.LocalCache$Segment.loadSync(LocalCache.java:2350) at avro.shaded.com.google.common.cache.LocalCache$Segment.lockedGetOrLoad(LocalCache.java:2313) at avro.shaded.com.google.common.cache.LocalCache$Segment.get(LocalCache.java:2228) ... 27 more AlertEvent is a scala case class generated using sbt avrohugger ( https://github.com/julianpeeters/sbt-avrohugger) that definitely implements SpecificRecordBase. There has been an Avro verion jump betwen 1.3.2 and 1.6.0, from 1.7.7 to 1.8.2 but I've rebuilt the avro model against Avro 1.8.2 and had a brief look at the code in SpecificData.create - it seems like it would still have tried the getDeclaredField("$SCHEMA") check that's throwing. Any advice on how to figure out what's causing the problem, or work around it would be gratefully received.
