[Bug]: beam word count example is failing on the flink runner deployed at dedicated flink cluster using beam java SDK

[siddhanta-rath]

What happened?

I have used the below official documentation to run the beam word count example : https://beam.apache.org/get-started/quickstart-java/

I have installed flink 1.16.2 version and running it on my local at 8081 port. I am using the latest beam SDK 2.58.0 version and added beam-runners-flink-1.16 dependency in the pom.xml

I have used the below command to deploy the beam job on flink runner: mvn package exec:java -Dexec.mainClass=org.example.WordCount \ -Dexec.args="--runner=FlinkRunner --flinkMaster=localhost:8081 --filesToStage=target/word-count-beam-in-new-bundled-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar \ --inputFile=/Users/siddhantarath/sample-beam-wordcount/word-count-beam-in-new/sample.txt --output=/tmp/counts" -Pflink-runner

the task manager is crashing and getting below errors:

pom.xml:

The pom file has both

<flink.artifact.name>beam-runners-flink-1.16</flink.artifact.name>
    <flink.artifact.name>beam-runners-flink-1.18</flink.artifact.name>

likely 1.18 beam-flink-runner is used on 1.16 backend.

Flink runner is running fine on tests and this is likely not a beam issue. I'm closing this for now. A few things to check

• supported Java version (8/11)
• examine actual dependency (mvn dependency:tree)

if issue persists, feel free to reopen
