Well I figured it out. My specific issue was due to a simple dependency problem where I had gotten an older version of the Jackson-mapper library. However the code was throwing NoSuchMethodError (an Error instead of Exception) and being silently dropped. I created a pull request to handle any Throwable in ScheduleAfterDebounceTime. https://github.com/apache/samza/pull/450
I'm now running into an issue with the generation of the JobModel and the ProcessorId. The ZkJobCoordinator has a ProcessorId that is a Guid, but when GroupByContainerIds class (my TaskNameGrouper) creates the ContainerModels, it is using the ContainerId (a numeric value, 0,1,2,etc) as the ProcessorId (~ line 105). This results in the JobModel that is generated and published immediately causing the processor to quit with this message: INFO o.apache.samza.zk.ZkJobCoordinator - New JobModel does not contain pid=38c637bf-9c2b-4856-afc4-5b1562711cfb. Stopping this processor. I was assuming I should be using GroupByContainerIds as my TaskNameGrouper. I don't see any other promising implementations. Am I just missing something? Thanks, Thunder JobModel { "config" : { ... }, "containers" : { "0" : { "tasks" : { "Partition 0" : { "task-name" : "Partition 0", "system-stream-partitions" : [ { "system" : "kafka", "partition" : 0, "stream" : "test_topic1" }, { "system" : "kafka", "partition" : 0, "stream" : "test_topic2" } ], "changelog-partition" : 0 }, "Partition 1" : { "task-name" : "Partition 1", "system-stream-partitions" : [ { "system" : "kafka", "partition" : 1, "stream" : "test_topic1" }, { "system" : "kafka", "partition" : 1, "stream" : "test_topic2" } ], "changelog-partition" : 1 } }, "container-id" : 0, "processor-id" : "0" } }, "max-change-log-stream-partitions" : 2, "all-container-locality" : { "0" : null } } -----Original Message----- From: Thunder Stumpges [mailto:tstump...@ntent.com] Sent: Friday, March 16, 2018 18:21 To: dev@samza.apache.org Cc: Jagadish Venkatraman <jagadish1...@gmail.com>; t...@recursivedream.com; yi...@linkedin.com; Yi Pan <nickpa...@gmail.com> Subject: RE: Old style "low level" Tasks with alternative deployment model(s) Attached.
