I am running flink locally on my machine , I am getting the exception below when reading from kafka topic. when running from the ide (intellij) it is running perfectly. however when I deploy my jar to flink runtime (locally) using
*/bin/flink run ~MyApp-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar* my class looks like this case class Foo(id: String, value: String, timestamp: Long, counter: Int) I am getting this exception *java.lang.RuntimeException: Could not extract key from Foo("some-uuid","text",1540348398,1) at org.apache.flink.streaming.runtime.io.RecordWriterOutput.pushToRecordWriter(RecordWriterOutput.java:110) at org.apache.flink.streaming.runtime.io.RecordWriterOutput.collect(RecordWriterOutput.java:89) at org.apache.flink.streaming.runtime.io.RecordWriterOutput.collect(RecordWriterOutput.java:45) at org.apache.flink.streaming.api.operators.AbstractStreamOperator$CountingOutput.collect(AbstractStreamOperator.java:689) at org.apache.flink.streaming.api.operators.AbstractStreamOperator$CountingOutput.collect(AbstractStreamOperator.java:667) at org.apache.flink.streaming.api.operators.StreamFilter.processElement(StreamFilter.java:40) at org.apache.flink.streaming.runtime.tasks.OperatorChain$CopyingChainingOutput.pushToOperator(OperatorChain.java:579) at org.apache.flink.streaming.runtime.tasks.OperatorChain$CopyingChainingOutput.collect(OperatorChain.java:554) at org.apache.flink.streaming.runtime.tasks.OperatorChain$CopyingChainingOutput.collect(OperatorChain.java:534) at org.apache.flink.streaming.api.operators.AbstractStreamOperator$CountingOutput.collect(AbstractStreamOperator.java:689) at org.apache.flink.streaming.api.operators.AbstractStreamOperator$CountingOutput.collect(AbstractStreamOperator.java:667) at org.apache.flink.streaming.api.operators.StreamSourceContexts$NonTimestampContext.collect(StreamSourceContexts.java:104) at org.apache.flink.streaming.api.operators.StreamSourceContexts$NonTimestampContext.collectWithTimestamp(StreamSourceContexts.java:111) at org.apache.flink.streaming.connectors.kafka.internals.AbstractFetcher.emitRecordWithTimestamp(AbstractFetcher.java:398) at org.apache.flink.streaming.connectors.kafka.internal.Kafka010Fetcher.emitRecord(Kafka010Fetcher.java:89) at org.apache.flink.streaming.connectors.kafka.internal.Kafka09Fetcher.runFetchLoop(Kafka09Fetcher.java:154) at org.apache.flink.streaming.connectors.kafka.FlinkKafkaConsumerBase.run(FlinkKafkaConsumerBase.java:738) at org.apache.flink.streaming.api.operators.StreamSource.run(StreamSource.java:87) at org.apache.flink.streaming.api.operators.StreamSource.run(StreamSource.java:56) at org.apache.flink.streaming.runtime.tasks.SourceStreamTask.run(SourceStreamTask.java:99) at org.apache.flink.streaming.runtime.tasks.StreamTask.invoke(StreamTask.java:300) at org.apache.flink.runtime.taskmanager.Task.run(Task.java:711) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:748) Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Could not extract key from Foo("some-uuid","text",1540348398,1) at org.apache.flink.streaming.runtime.partitioner.KeyGroupStreamPartitioner.selectChannels(KeyGroupStreamPartitioner.java:61) at org.apache.flink.streaming.runtime.partitioner.KeyGroupStreamPartitioner.selectChannels(KeyGroupStreamPartitioner.java:32) at org.apache.flink.runtime.io.network.api.writer.RecordWriter.emit(RecordWriter.java:106) at org.apache.flink.streaming.runtime.io.StreamRecordWriter.emit(StreamRecordWriter.java:81) at org.apache.flink.streaming.runtime.io.RecordWriterOutput.pushToRecordWriter(RecordWriterOutput.java:107) ... 22 more Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at com.bluevoyant.StreamingJob$$anonfun$3.apply(StreamingJob.scala:41) at com.bluevoyant.StreamingJob$$anonfun$3.apply(StreamingJob.scala:40) at org.apache.flink.streaming.api.scala.DataStream$$anon$2.getKey(DataStream.scala:411) at org.apache.flink.streaming.runtime.partitioner.KeyGroupStreamPartitioner.selectChannels(KeyGroupStreamPartitioner.java:59) ... 26 more* my key partition is simple (partitionFactor = some number) *.keyBy{ r => val h = fastHash(r.id <http://r.id>) % partitionFactor math.abs(h) }* again, this happens only on runtime not when I run it from intellij this so frustrating, any advice ?
