SideOutput Issue

Hi All,

I'm having issues with creating side outputs. There are two input sources
(both from kafka) and they are connected and fed into a co-process
function. Inside the co-process, the regular data stream outputs a POJO and
in processElement2 there is a periodic timer which creates the side output.
When I start the job I get the below exception. Is there something that I'm
doing wrong?

I used the below example to implement the side output.
https://github.com/apache/flink/blob/master/flink-examples/flink-examples-streaming/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/streaming/examples/sideoutput/SideOutputExample.java

processElement2
ctx.output("side-output", POJO);

Job
dataStream.getSideOutput("side-output").print();

Re: SideOutput Issue

Posted by Chesnay Schepler <ch...@apache.org>.
We were able to reproduce the issue.
It was caused by calling getSideOutput() and split() on a single 
DataStream, which isn't properly handled by Flink.
As a work-around one can add a no-op map function before the split() call.

I've filed FLINK-9141 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-9141>.

Re: SideOutput Issue

Hi,

which version of Flink are you using?

Could you provide us with a reproducing example? I tried reproducing it 
based on the information you provided in the following code, but it runs 
fine for me:

     private static final OutputTag<String> tag = new 
OutputTag<String>("test"){};

     public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
         final StreamExecutionEnvironment env = 
StreamExecutionEnvironment.getExecutionEnvironment();

         DataStream<String> text1 = env.fromElements("foo");
         DataStream<String> text2 = env.fromElements("bar");

         SingleOutputStreamOperator<String> process = text1.connect(text2)
.process(new CoProcessFunction<String, String, String>() {
@Override
public void processElement1(String value, Context ctx, Collector<String> 
out) throws Exception {
}

@Override
public void processElement2(String value, Context ctx, Collector<String> 
out) throws Exception {
}
         });

         process.getSideOutput(tag).print();

         // execute program
         env.execute("Streaming WordCount");
     }
