Hi Ravi, I posted another message with the minimal reproduction, I repeat it here:
```scala case class C(x: Int) val xs = benv.fromCollection(1 to 10) val cs = xs.map{C(_)} cs.count ``` defined class C xs: org.apache.flink.api.scala.DataSet[Int] = org.apache.flink.api.scala.DataSet@39c713c6 cs: org.apache.flink.api.scala.DataSet[C] = org.apache.flink.api.scala.DataSet@205a35a java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: requirement failed: The class C is an instance class, meaning it is not a member of a toplevel object, or of an object contained in a toplevel object, therefore it requires an outer instance to be instantiated, but we don't have a reference to the outer instance. Please consider changing the outer class to an object. at scala.Predef$.require(Predef.scala:224) at org.apache.flink.api.scala.typeutils.ScalaCaseClassSerializer$.lookupConstructor(ScalaCaseClassSerializer.scala:90) at org.apache.flink.api.scala.typeutils.ScalaCaseClassSerializer.<init>(ScalaCaseClassSerializer.scala:46) ... 125 elided As you can see, this minimal example doesn't use CSV files, so I don't think the CSV connector it the problem. I don't think this is a Flink issue either, as that example works fine in the Flink shell: ``` root@df7fa87580ed:/opt/flink/latest# bin/start-scala-shell.sh local scala> val xs = benv.fromCollection(1 to 10) xs: org.apache.flink.api.scala.DataSet[Int] = org.apache.flink.api.scala.DataSet@6012bee8 scala> xs.collect res0: Seq[Int] = Buffer(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10) scala> val cs = xs.map{C(_)} cs: org.apache.flink.api.scala.DataSet[C] = org.apache.flink.api.scala.DataSet@36f807f5 scala> cs.collect res1: Seq[C] = Buffer(C(1), C(2), C(3), C(4), C(5), C(6), C(7), C(8), C(9), C(10)) scala> ``` Note I was running Zeppelin in a docker container in my laptop, also using Flink's local mode I think this is a problem with the Zeppelin integratin with Flink, and how it processes case class definitions in a cell.
