Thanks Chesnay for your incredible help!

I will try out the suggestions again. A few questions:
- What version of Flink are you trying with? I have had issues when I
placed the gradoop-demo-shaded.jar in the lib folder on Flink installation
(1.4 even refused to start!).
- Are there other config changes (flink-conf.yaml) that you made in your
cluster?
- Is org.apache.flink.api.common.io.FileOutputFormat a good alternative to
LocalCollectionOutputFormat, or should I use HadoopOutputFormatCommonBase
(I do want to run the cluster on YARN later; at the moment I am trying on a
standalone cluster).
- Do you think it is better to use jarFiles argument on
createRemoteEnvironment (which deploys the JAR only for this job and not
mess with the entire Flink cluster) a better option than placing the JAR(s)
in the lib folder?

Thanks again,
Regards,
Kedar
