No ExecutorFactory found to execute the application in Flink 1.11.1 - apache-flink

Question

first of all I have read this post about the same issue and tried to follow the same solution that works for him (create a new quickstart with mvn and migrate the code there) and is not working eighter when out-of-the-box of IntelliJ.
Here is my pom.xml mixed with my dependencies from the other pom.xml. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

For me below dependencies worked like a charm:
<dependencies>
<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.flink/flink-core -->
<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.flink/flink-streaming-scala -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.flink</groupId>
<artifactId>flink-streaming-scala_2.11</artifactId>
<version>1.12.2</version>
</dependency>
<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.flink/flink-clients -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.flink</groupId>
<artifactId>flink-clients_2.11</artifactId>
<version>1.12.2</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>

Answer 2

You have <scope>provided</scope> in the below,
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.flink</groupId>
<artifactId>flink-clients_${scala.binary.version}</artifactId>
<version>${flink.version}</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
so remove <scope>provided</scope> it will work, i just tested in my local, works fine.

Answer 3

In my case, the problem was fixed by removing these two dependencies because client dependency has them already included.
/*removed*/
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.flink</groupId>
<artifactId>flink-java</artifactId>
<version>${flink.version}</version>
</dependency>
/*removed*/
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.flink</groupId>
<artifactId>flink-streaming-java_${scala.binary.version}</artifactId>
<version>${flink.version}</version>
</dependency>
/*Keep just this one*/
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.flink</groupId>
<artifactId>flink-clients_${scala.binary.version}</artifactId>
<version>${flink.version}</version>
</dependency>

Answer 4

The error appears when flink-clients is not in the classpath. Can you double-check if your profile is working as expected by inspecting the actual classpath? Btw for IntelliJ you don't need the profile at all. Just tick the option to include provided dependencies in the Run/Debug dialog.

Answer 5

Update for Flink version 1.15.1, specifically for getting the Table API example working from the Flink docs.
It needs adding the flink-table-planner as a provided dependency.
The planner contains an implementation of the ExecutorFactory, called org.apache.flink.table.planner.delegation.DefaultExecutorFactory
Adding this solved it:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.flink</groupId>
<artifactId>flink-table-planner_${scala.binary.version}</artifactId>
<version>${flink.version}</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

Answer 6

Hi #Thangavel Loganathan
I'd remove the <scope>provided</scope> from the dependency and after mvn clean package I was able to see that the library is shaded to the jar as you can see here: [INFO] Including org.apache.flink:flink-clients_2.11:jar:1.11.0 in the shaded jar., but even that I still having this issue when out of the box of IntelliJ:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: No ExecutorFactory found to execute the application.

Then if I browse into the jar created I'm able to find the dependency under META-INF\maven\org.apache.flink:
Here is my job graph more or less:
final StreamExecutionEnvironment env = StreamExecutionEnvironment.createLocalEnvironment(parallelism, conf);
SingleOutputStreamOperator<Event> streamFiltered = RabbitMQConnector.eventStreamObject(env)
.flatMap(new RMQConsumer())
.name("Event Mapper")
.assignTimestampsAndWatermarks(WatermarkStrategy.<Event>forBoundedOutOfOrderness(Duration.ofSeconds(PropertyFileReader.getLatencyAllowed()))withTimestampAssigner((event, timestamp) -> event.timestamp.getTime()))
.name("Watermarks Added")
.filter(new NullIdEventsFilterFunction())
.name("Event Filter");
/*more transformations here*/
env.execute("job name");
Kind regards!

By reading Flink Demo, you can see the problem solved.
Add this profile below your pom.xml.

Answer 8

For people encountering the same issue but are using gradle rather than Maven, its the same issue with the Flink-clients. You just need to add
compile "org.apache.flink:flink-clients_${scalaBinaryVersion}:${flinkVersion}"
or if you're shadowing dependencies line 129 from the Flink-training repo: https://github.com/apache/flink-training/blob/master/build.gradle#L129

Answer 9

Problem solved!
By exploring the flink-clients (pom.xml) in https://github.com/apache/flink/tree/master/flink-clients I'd realize that the <artifactId>flink-java</artifactId> and <artifactId>flink-streaming-java_${scala.binary.version}</artifactId> are already contained into the flink-clients (pom.xml), so I'd remove those dependencies from my pom.xml and then it works in both places: IntelliJ and out-of-the-box.
I hope this works for some else with the same issue than me!
