+ * This accumulator wraps the class {@link
org.apache.flink.api.common.accumulators.OperatorStatisticsResult} to track
+ * estimated values for count distinct and heavy hitters. It has lower
memory requirements than
+ * {@link org.apache.flink.api.common.accumulators.Histogram}.
+ * Our goal in accumulating stats per operator is to not only track global
stats, but also know the local stats of the
+ * subtasks of a task. For this purpose, {@link
org.apache.flink.api.common.accumulators.OperatorStatisticsResult}
+ * encapsulates one global accumulator and an array of local accumulators.
+ *
+ * The constructor of the class receives a subTaskIndex, and the total
number of subtasks.
+ * Both parameters are found in the
+ * {@link org.apache.flink.api.common.functions.RuntimeContext} from where
the constructor is called.

Just doing e.printStackTrace() will make it extremely hard to debug the
error. You'll find a stacktrace without any message in the stderr file ... The
flink programm will continue running in an erroneous state.
I would recommend re-throwing the exception as a runtime exception.
