Scott Kidder created FLINK-6176: ----------------------------------- Summary: Add JARs to CLASSPATH deterministically Key: FLINK-6176 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-6176 Project: Flink Issue Type: Bug Components: Core Affects Versions: 1.2.0 Reporter: Scott Kidder
The Flink 1.2.0 {{config.sh}} script uses the following shell-script function to build the CLASSPATH variable from a listing of JAR files in the {{$FLINK_HOME/lib}} directory: {code} constructFlinkClassPath() { while read -d '' -r jarfile ; do if [[ $FLINK_CLASSPATH = "" ]]; then FLINK_CLASSPATH="$jarfile"; else FLINK_CLASSPATH="$FLINK_CLASSPATH":"$jarfile" fi done < <(find "$FLINK_LIB_DIR" ! -type d -name '*.jar' -print0) echo $FLINK_CLASSPATH } {code} The {{find}} command as it is specified will return files in directory-order, which is varies by OS and filesystem. The inconsistent ordering caused problems for me when installing a Flink Docker image I built on a new machine with a newer version of Docker. The differences in the Docker filesystem implementation led to different ordering of the directory contents, which led to a different order of the CLASSPATH element and very puzzling {{ClassNotFoundException}} errors when running my application. This should be addressed by adding some explicit ordering to the JAR files added to the CLASSPATH used by Flink. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
