在Apache Spark中使用广播变量

Question

I am getting an error while using broadcast variable inside a CoGroupFunction. The error disappears if appProvider.value() is commented. Have you any idea how to solve this issue ? is the error related to the variable definition or initialization ?

public class UsageJobDS implements Serializable{
  private static final Logger log = org.apache.log4j.LogManager.getLogger("myLogger");

  Broadcast<Provider> appProvider;

  void init(){
    // init broadcast variable
    ....
  }
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    UsageJobDS ujb = new UsageJobDS();
    ujb.init();
    ujb.run();
  }

  void run(){
    KeyValueGroupedDataset<Long, Row> charges = usageCharges.groupByKey(x -> x.getLong(x.fieldIndex("si__subscription_id")), Encoders.LONG());

    Dataset<ProcessEdr> cogg = edrs.cogroup(charges, rateEDRs, Encoders.bean(ProcessEdr.class));

    log.warn("Count cogg " + cogg.count());
  }

  CoGroupFunction<Long, EDR2, Row, ProcessEdr> rateEDRs = (subscription_id, edrsIter, chargesIter) -> {
        Logger log = org.apache.log4j.LogManager.getLogger("myLogger");
        log.warn("inside rateEDRs function");

        while (edrsIter.hasNext()) {
            appProvider.value(); // HERE
        }
        return results.iterator();
    };

}

and I am getting this error

java.lang.ClassCastException: cannot assign instance of java.lang.invoke.SerializedLambda to field org.opencell.spark.jobs.UsageJobDS.rateEDRs of type org.apache.spark.api.java.function.CoGroupFunction in instance of org.opencell.spark.jobs.UsageJobDS

Actually it works if the cogroup function definition is changed to the below code. However, the error cause still unknown.

        Dataset<ProcessEdr> cogg = edrs.cogroup(charges, (subscription_id, edrsIter, chargesIter) -> {
            ArrayList<ProcessEdr> results = new ArrayList<>();

            System.out.println("App Provider name" + appProvider.value().getIssuer_name());

            return results.iterator();
        }, Encoders.bean(ProcessEdr.class));
