集成 - Apache Flink + Spring Boot

Question

I'm testing the integration between Apache Flink and Spring Boot, to run them on IDE is fine, but when I tried to run on Apache Flink Cluster I had one Exception related to ClassLoader.

The classes are really simple:

BootFlinkApplication

@SpringBootApplication
@ComponentScan("com.example.demo")
public class BootFlinkApplication {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("some test");
        SpringApplication.run(BootFlinkApplication.class, args);
    }
}

FlinkTest

@Service
public class FlinkTest {
    @PostConstruct
    public void init() {
        StreamExecutionEnvironment see = StreamExecutionEnvironment.getExecutionEnvironment();

        see.fromElements(1, 2, 3, 4)
            .filter(new RemoveNumber3Filter()).print();

        try {
            see.execute();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println("Error executing flink job: " + e.getMessage());
        }
    }
}

RemoveNumber3Filter

public class RemoveNumber3Filter implements FilterFunction<Integer> {

    @Override
    public boolean filter(Integer i) throws Exception {
        return i != 3;
    }

}

Exception:

You probably use the Spring Boot Maven plugin ( https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/build-tool-plugins-maven-plugin.html ) to repackage your Jar to generate an executable jar, however, it uses a custom boot layout which is not supported by Apache Flink's internal class loader. There should be an original jar file next to the one you try to deploy (.jar.original) which you could use for deployment on the Flink cluster.

As an alternative, you can use a different way of generating a Jar with all your dependencies, such as maven-shade ( https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-shade-plugin/ )
