I was able to resolve this issue by referring to this issue <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4426>
In short, I had to modify flink's pom.xml to change the zookeeper version to the zookeeper mapr version and this error the disappears. But, I do have ran into a separate issue, which I will be starting a new thread on. Thanks for all the help Robert. -- View this message in context: http://apache-flink-mailing-list-archive.1008284.n3.nabble.com/Flink-with-Yarn-on-MapR-tp15448p15727.html Sent from the Apache Flink Mailing List archive. mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
