config-flume.png

The only thing that changed was update to version 1.5.2.2.4 flume and is giving me the following error.

ERROR [lifecycleSupervisor-1-2] (org.apache.flume.lifecycle.LifecycleSupervisor$MonitorRunnable.run:253) - Unable to start EventDrivenSourceRunner: { source:com.cloudera.flume.source.TwitterSource{name:Twitter,state:IDLE} } - Exception follows. java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: twitter4j.FilterQuery.setIncludeEntities(Z)Ltwitter4j/FilterQuery; at com.cloudera.flume.source.TwitterSource.start(TwitterSource.java:139) at org.apache.flume.source.EventDrivenSourceRunner.start(EventDrivenSourceRunner.java:44) at org.apache.flume.lifecycle.LifecycleSupervisor$MonitorRunnable.run(LifecycleSupervisor.java:251) at java.util.concurrent.Executors$RunnableAdapter.call(Executors.java:511) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.runAndReset(FutureTask.java:308) at java.util.concurrent.ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor$ScheduledFutureTask.access$301(ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor.java:180) at java.util.concurrent.ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor$ScheduledFutureTask.run(ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor.java:294) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1142) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:617) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745)

Please your help if someone has the same error. Thank you

This seems to be an issue due to more than one jar version available for a same class, one of that jar class doesn't have mentioned method in it therefore causing this issue.

Please make sure you have correct version of jar available in flume lib.

twitter4j jars included to Flume libs by default. However, twitter source from cloudera is built with another version of twitter4j framework.

I'd recommend to remove all *twitter4j* jars from flume_home/libs folder and add proper version (mentioned in cloudera's source pom) to aux_lib instead (along with custom source)
