Hi Stephan, Thanx for the response. Actually I am using Maven and below are all Flink dependencies I have in my pom.xml file.
/ <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.flink</groupId> <artifactId>flink-core</artifactId> <version>0.9.1</version> <scope>provided</scope> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.flink</groupId> <artifactId>flink-streaming-core</artifactId> <version>0.9.1</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.flink</groupId> <artifactId>flink-clients</artifactId> <version>0.9.1</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.flink</groupId> <artifactId>flink-connector-kafka</artifactId> <version>0.9.1</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.flink</groupId> <artifactId>flink-java8</artifactId> <version>0.9.1</version> </dependency>/ The problem is when I create a jar file using eclipse's *export* functionality, I get the previously mentioned *Could not load the task's invokable class* exception. And when I create the jar file with Maven's *mvn clean package* command, I get different exception shown below: /org.apache.flink.api.common.functions.InvalidTypesException: The return type of function 'kafkaFlinkWordCount(FlinkWordCount.java:53)' could not be determined automatically, due to type erasure. You can give type information hints by using the returns(...) method on the result of the transformation call, or by letting your function implement the 'ResultTypeQueryable' interface. at org.apache.flink.streaming.api.datastream.DataStream.getType(DataStream.java:207) at org.apache.flink.streaming.api.datastream.DataStream.addSink(DataStream.java:1336) at org.apache.flink.streaming.api.datastream.DataStream.print(DataStream.java:1029)/ The error message continues and near to the end there is this kind of message: /at org.apache.flink.client.CliFrontend.main(CliFrontend.java:920) Caused by: org.apache.flink.api.common.functions.InvalidTypesException: The generic type parameters of 'Tuple2' are missing. It seems that your compiler has not stored them into the .class file. Currently, only the Eclipse JDT compiler preserves the type information necessary to use the lambdas feature type-safely. See the documentation for more information about how to compile jobs containing lambda expressions./ I tried to use *flink-0.10-SNAPSHORT* as you suggested, but it introduced a syntax error in my source code with this message: */The method groupBy(0) os undefined for the type SingleOutputStreamOperation<Tuple2<String, Integer>, capture #1 of ?>/* -- View this message in context: http://apache-flink-user-mailing-list-archive.2336050.n4.nabble.com/Could-not-load-the-task-s-invokable-class-tp3336p3356.html Sent from the Apache Flink User Mailing List archive. mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
