Flink error: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.flink.api.table.Table

Question

I am trying to use table and sql api of the flink for a simple example where I read the string from file, convert it to Tuple2 and try to insert it into table. Here is my code.

import org.apache.flink.api.common.functions.FlatMapFunction;
import org.apache.flink.api.java.table.StreamTableEnvironment;
import org.apache.flink.api.java.tuple.Tuple2;
import org.apache.flink.api.table.Table;
import org.apache.flink.streaming.api.TimeCharacteristic;
import org.apache.flink.streaming.api.datastream.DataStream;
import org.apache.flink.streaming.api.environment.StreamExecutionEnvironment;
import org.apache.flink.util.Collector;

public class table_streaming_test
{
    public static void main (String[] args) throws Exception
    {
        StreamExecutionEnvironment env = StreamExecutionEnvironment.getExecutionEnvironment(); //create execution environment
        StreamTableEnvironment tEnv= StreamTableEnvironment.getTableEnvironment(env); 
        env.setParallelism(1);
        DataStream<String> datastream_in= env.readTextFile("file:/home/rishikesh/new_workspace1/table_streaming/stocks.txt");
         DataStream<Tuple2<String,Integer>> ds=  datastream_in
             .flatMap(new Splitter());  // transformation flatmap
         Table msg=tEnv.fromDataStream(ds).as("symbol,price");
         Table result = msg.select("symbol ='A'");
         DataStream<String> ds2 =tEnv.toDataStream(result, String.class);
         ds2.print();
         env.execute();
    }
public static class Splitter implements FlatMapFunction<String,     Tuple2<String, Integer>> {
        public void flatMap(String sentence, Collector<Tuple2<String, Integer>> out) throws Exception {
            String[] token= sentence.split(",");
            out.collect(new Tuple2<String, Integer>(token[0],Integer.parseInt(token[1])));
        }
    }
}

Errors are following: (occured at line DataStream<String> ds2 =tEnv.toDataStream(result, String.class); )

Answer 1

One possible cause for error "java.lang.NoSuchMethodError" is when you use different version of flink than what you have installed on your system.

For me, I have Flink 1.4.2 and the version I was using was 1.3.2 . So I updated my pom file to have same version and it worked fine.

I think you need to use shade plugin and follow this step to resolve issue
