Thank you for your response! I have not tried the flink run app.jar route because the way the app is set up does not allow me to do it. Basically, the app is a web application which serves the UI and also submits a Flink job for running Cypher queries. It is a proof-of-concept app, but IMO, a very useful one.
Here's how you can reproduce: 1) git clone g...@github.com:kedarmhaswade/gradoop_demo.git (this is my fork of gradoop_demo) 2) cd gradoop_demo 3) git checkout dev => dev is the branch where my changes to make gradoop work with remote environment go. 4) mvn clean package => should bring the gradoop JARs that this app needs; these JARs should then be placed in <flink-install>/lib. 5) cp ~/.m2/repository/org/gradoop/gradoop-common/0.3.2/gradoop-common-0.3.2.jar <flink-install>/lib, cp ~/.m2/repository/org/gradoop/gradoop-flink/0.3.2/gradoop-flink-0.3.2.jar <flink-install>/lib, cp target/gradoop-demo-0.2.0.jar <flink-install>/lib. 6) start the local flink cluster (I have tried with latest (built-from-source) 1.6-SNAPSHOT, or 1.4) <flink-install>/bin/start-cluster.sh -- note the JM host and port 7) <gradoop-demo>/start.sh --jmhost <host> --jmport 6123 (adjust host and port per your cluster) => this is now configured to talk to the RemoteEnvironment at given JM host and port. 8) open a browser at: http://localhost:2342/gradoop/html/cypher.html 9) hit the query button => this would throw the exception 10) Ctrl C the process in 7 and just restart it as java -cp target/classes:target/gradoop-demo-shaded.jar org.gradoop.demo.server.Server => starts LocalEnvironment 11) do 9 again and see the results shown nicely in the browser. Here is the relevant code: 1) Choosing between <https://github.com/kedarmhaswade/gradoop_demo/blob/dev/src/main/java/org/gradoop/demo/server/Server.java#L107> a Remote or a Local Environment. The instructions are correct to my knowledge. Thanks for your willingness to try. I have tried everything I can. With different Flink versions, I get different results (I have also tried on 1.6-SNAPSHOT with class loading config being parent-first, or child-first).
