hi Yun, thanks for the help!
if i direct the Kafka connector in the DDL to a local Kafka cluster, it works fine. So i assume access to the JAR files should not be the issue. This is how i referred to the JAR files from Python: t_env.get_config().get_configuration().set_string("pipeline.jars", "file:///Users/jag002/flinkjars/flink-connector-kafka_2.11-1.13-SNAPSHOT.jar;file:///Users/jag002/flinkjars/flink-sql-connector-kafka_2.11-1.13-SNAPSHOT.jar;file:///Users/jag002/flinkjars/kafka-clients-2.7.0.jar") All the best, Joris -- Sent from: http://apache-flink-user-mailing-list-archive.2336050.n4.nabble.com/
