Hey Stefan,
Thank you very much for the response! Indeed that was the problem.\\
Regarding the Java serialization, yes it is not efficient but when we tried to use the Kryo serializer we were encountering problems with the tuples that we are streaming between the invokables.\\
Specifically, because we are streaming Tuple3<String,UserDefinedObject,String> elements, where UserDefinedClass is a custom implementation of the Samoa "ContentEvent" interface, we couldn't pass the TypeInformation of the custom object to the serializer, thus we had to use Java serialization.\\
For sure though we will try to come up with a more efficient solution for that issue.\\
P.S.: Thanks for the formatting hint!

> Yahoo's Samoa is an experimental incremental machine learning library that builds on an abstract compositional data streaming model to write streaming algorithms. The task is to provide an adapter from SAMOA topologies to Flink-streaming job graphs in order to support Flink as a backend engine for SAMOA tasks.
