Hi Roman, Igal (@ below) Thank you for your answer. I don't think I'll have access to flink's lib folder given it's a shared Cloudera cluster. The only thing I could think of is to not include com.google.protobuf in the classloader.parent-first-patterns.additional setting, and including protobuf-java 3.7.1 in the uber jar.
I created a jira for this just now + a discuss thread on the dev group https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-26537 Hi @Igal Shilman <igal.shil...@gmail.com> , is the plugin solution outlined by Roman something that fits in better with Statefun than having the creators of uber .jars be responsible for using a statefun-compatible protobuf-java?
