NullPointerException while loading extension in linux

Question

Hi I am new to Druid and zookeeper and was trying out their basic sort of tut here.

What I did is just to run two commands. The first one is to run the zookeeper:

[root@ingester bin]# source zkServer.sh start
JMX enabled by default
Using config: /opt/zookeeper-3.4.6/bin/../conf/zoo.cfg
Starting zookeeper ... [1]+  Exit 1                  nohup "$JAVA" "-Dzookeeper.log.dir=${ZOO_LOG_DIR}" "-Dzookeeper.root.logger=${ZOO_LOG4J_PROP}" -cp "$CLASSPATH" $JVMFLAGS $ZOOMAIN "$ZOOCFG" > "$_ZOO_DAEMON_OUT" 2>&1 < /dev/null
STARTED

So the zookeeper seems to have started quite well.

The second command is to run example that comes built-in with druid's tarball. And this is where I am getting into trouble.

1:     [root@ingester druid-0.7.1.1]# source run_example_server.sh 
2:     This will run a stand-alone version of Druid
3:     Please specify an example by its number.
4:     Examples available:
5:     1 - wikipedia/wikipedia_realtime.spec - No Description
6:     2 - twitter/twitter_realtime.spec - No Description
7:     [1] > 1

Is it trying to download something online, since it says Loading extension[io.druid.extensions:druid-examples] for class[io.druid.cli.CliCommandCreator] on line 16. I am behind corporate firewall, so something might be getting blocked if any download attempt is done. Also it says NullPointerException on line 18. Whats the exact problem?

I am really not able to cleanly run this example. Also I am on Fedora 20, with zookeeper 3.4.6 and druid 0.7.1.1.

Answer 1

It looks like you are having some problems downloading the dependencies. You can take a look at: http://druid.io/docs/latest/operations/including-extensions.html about putting jars in the classpath.

FWIW, you will get a faster response by posting questions here : https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/druid-user
