Akka and Typesafe config versions issue - scala

I tried to use akka 2.1.0 on a Tomcat server. But I got an error asking me to put the config library on the classpath too.
Well that's not the issue. I put the config library of Typesafe, version 1.0.0 (the latest) in the lib folder. However, I always get the error
8d31597e-1b6e-4be5-9773-4fb7e0591312akka.ConfigurationException: Akka JAR version [2.1.0] does not match the provided config version [2.0]
at akka.actor.ActorSystem$Settings.<init>(ActorSystem.scala:172)
at akka.actor.ActorSystemImpl.<init>(ActorSystem.scala:465)
at akka.actor.ActorSystem$.apply(ActorSystem.scala:111)
at akka.actor.ActorSystem$.apply(ActorSystem.scala:93)
The jar files in the lib folder are :
akka-actor_2.10-2.1.0.jar
config-1.0.0.jar
scala-library-2.10.0.jar
Where does this problem come from ?

It loads a configuration file containing akka.version=2.0 but is expecting 2.1.0.
You might have mistakenly defined akka.version in your application.conf. Remove that setting. Otherwise you have a akka-actor 2.0 jar file in your classspath.

azure-eventhub jar upgrade required inside storm-eventhub jar

I use storm-eventhub jar for my project using maven artifact as follows
<groupId>org.apache.storm</groupId>
<artifactId>storm-eventhubs</artifactId>
<version>2.0.0</version>
storm-eventhub internally uses azure-eventhub version 0.13.1 which is old one.
Hence we are forced to use the same version of azure-eventhub jar in our project as well.
Now the requirement is that we have to upgrade to azure-eventhub version 2.3.2 but storm-eventhub classes fail with NoClassDef errors since many classes refer to 0.13.1 version of azure-eventhub.
Should I customize the classes myself OR can I raise a request to apache community to upgrade the azure-eventhub version inside storm-eventhub library. If so, what would be the ETA approximately.
There is a PR open to upgrade the client version for storm-eventhubs at https://github.com/apache/storm/pull/3004. Unfortunately it looks like the author didn't have time to finish it. You are welcome to pick it up.

Understanding eclipse maven dependency hierarchy

I want to understand the dependencies for a multi-module maven project and for that referred to eclipse dependency hierarchy.
I did understand fairly, however some of the things I am not able to understand at all.
Below is the screen shot.
The things which I didn't understand are:
--> managed from 1.0.2 [Compile}
--> managed from 1.0.2 (omitted for conflict with 1.0.0) [Compile]
I did search online but I got information in traces. Can anyone help me understand what they mean in easy to understand?
Thanks.
Maven builds a flat classpath from the dependency tree each for compiling ([compile]), for testing, and for running.
In a flat classpath, unlike OSGi, a dependency can only exist in one version. In your cropped screenshot, there is on the second level among other things:
kafka-streams 1.0.2 and
kafka-clients 1.0.0.
kafka-streams 1.0.2 requires kafka-clients 1.0.2 which conflicts to kafka-clients 1.0.0. Therefore kafka-streams 1.0.2 is omitted for conflicts with 1.0.0 even if the version 1.0.2 is required here ("managed from 1.0.2").
More detailed:The classpath which is used to compile or run a plain Java application is flat: all required libraries are globally specified as an ordered list. It is not possible to use a library of a specific version for one package and for another package the same library in a different version.In Maven dependencies builds a tree: each dependency might have its own dependencies. Maven maps the tree of dependencies to the classpath, an ordered list of libraries. If in the Maven dependencies tree the same library exists in different versions, it is not possible to create a flat classpath. This is a conflict.This conflict is resolved by picking one version and omitting all other versions. At the place where the picked version is used instead of the required version, (managed from <required but not picked version>) and (omitted for conflict with <picked version to use instead>) is displayed.In addition, Maven can create different classpaths to compile, to test or to run a Java application via so-called scopes. The [compile] scope is the default scope for using a library in all tasks: compiling, testing and running.
Make sure that the versions specified in the pom.xml file are compatible with each other (which is not yet the case in your screenshot): you have to upgrade kafka-clients from 1.0.0 to 1.0.2 (or downgrade the other libraries).

How to add external jar files to a spark scala project

I am trying to use an LSH implementation of Scala(https://github.com/marufaytekin/lsh-spark) in my Spark project.I cloned the repository with some changes to the sbt file (added Organisation)
To use this implementation , I compiled it using sbt compile and moved the jar file to the "lib" folder of my project and updated the sbt configuration file of my project , which looks like this ,
Now when I try to compile my project using sbt compile , It fails to load the external jar file ,showing the error message "unresolved dependency: com.lendap.spark.lsh.LSH#lsh-scala_2.10;0.0.1-SNAPSHOT: not found".
Am i following the right steps for adding an external jar file ?
How do i solve the dependency issue
As an alternative, you can build the lsh-spark project and add the jar in your spark application.
To add the external jars, addJar option can be used while executing spark application. Refer Running spark application on yarn
This issue isn't related to spark but to sbt configuration.
Make sure you followed the correct folder structure imposed by sbt and added your jar in the lib folder, as explained here - lib folder should be at the same level as build.sbt (cf. this post).

Thrift: the import javax.annotation cannot be resolved

I use Eclipse Mars (M1) as my IDE. Today, I generated my service's Java code using Apache Thrift 0.9.2 (latest stable version) for an Android project. This version (unlke version 0.9.1) uses the "Generated" annotation from javax.annotation package, for adding some extractable documentation. It adds a line like the following line before each generated class:
#Generated(value = "Autogenerated by Thrift Compiler (0.9.2)", date = "2014-11-30")
But surprisingly, Eclipse complains about the package javax.annotation. It throws the error "the import javax.annotation cannot be resolved". My project's Java compiler compliance level is 1.6, and its minimum Android API version is API 8 (Android 2.2). How can I fix this error?
Unfortunately most of packages under javax.* are not included in Android's JDK, therefore you need to add those that you need, manually. Here the reason for not including these packages is explained.
Unluckily, there are several versions of javax.annotation package available for download, some of which don't contain the "Generated" annotation class (javax.annotation.generated). Fortunately this jar file does include that specific annotation class. So if you don't use any build system like Gradle, Ant, or Maven, all you have to do is to include the .jar file in a directory in your project (e.g. lib/) and then add this jar library to your buildpath. If you use Ant, then follow the first link.
I had the same problem and I fixed it by adding this dependency to my build.gradle file
compile group: 'javax.annotation', name: 'javax.annotation-api', version: '1.3.2'

Is the Akka Actors library installed with the Scala IDE for Scala 2.10?

I have recently begun exploring Scala, and have started by installing the Scala IDE in my copy of Eclipse (Indigo). I initially installed the Scala IDE for Scala 2.9, but then noticed that there was a newer release available for Scala 2.10. Installing the newer plug-in over the older one seems to have worked, but...
Scala 2.10 has deprecated the older Scala Actors in favor of Akka Actors. Thus I'm trying to add an import to my toy Scala project:
import akka.actor.Actor
This is flagged in the IDE with the error
not found: object akka
When I look at my Scala project's properties, I indeed do not see any of the akka-* jar files that are mentioned in the Akka documentation.
Do they need to be downloaded and installed separately, even though the Scala IDE plug-in installed the rest of Scala 2.10? Or have package names changed as part of integrating Akka actors in place of the older Scala Actors? (The documentation doesn't say so, but the Scala 2.10 release is fairly recent...)
No, they aren't packaged together.
The easiest way to make sure the Eclipse IDE can see your dependencies (Akka, and anything else referenced in your build.sbt file) is to let sbt do it using the sbteclipse plugin. Here's the instructions I wrote up for co-workers:
Install the "sbteclipse" plugin
This plugin will allow sbt to add the files/references that Eclipse needs to find all the dependencies that you specify in your build.sbt. Otherwise, you will be able to use the IDE, but you will seek all kinds of "object not found" errors.
Just make sure the plugin is being added in your global plugins.sbt file. This file (and it's path) may not exist so you may need to create it at the following location:
~/.sbt $ cd ~/.sbt/0.13/
~/.sbt/0.13 $ mkdir plugins
Edit/create the plugins.sbt file:
~/.sbt/0.13 $ vi plugins/plugins.sbt
then add this line (it may be the only line in the file):
addSbtPlugin("com.typesafe.sbteclipse" % "sbteclipse-plugin" % "2.5.0")
Running sbteclipse
To use this, you just navigate to a scala project on the commandline and run the following. If you already had Eclipse open, go ahead and restart it.
/sites/ewuser (master)$ sbt eclipse

The Akka artifacts are not bundled with the Scala IDE (yet), you will have to add “akka-actor_2.10” and friends to your project’s dependencies.
