java - UnsatisfiedLinkError on Lib rocks DB dll when developing with Kafka Streams

Question

I'm writing a Kafka Streams application on my development Windows machine. If I try to use the leftJoin and branch features of Kafka Streams I get the error below when executing the jar application:

Exception in thread "StreamThread-1" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: C:UsersuserAppDataLocalTemplibrocksdbjni325337723194862275.dll: Can't find dependent libraries

It seems like Kafka does not find a DLL, but wait...I'm developing a Java application!

What could be the problem? And why this error doesn't show off if I try to do simpler streaming operations like only a filter?

UPDATE:

This problem raises only when a message is present in the broker. I'm using Kafka Streams version 0.10.2.1.

This is the piece of code which raises the problem

public class KafkaStreamsMainClass {

    private KafkaStreamsMainClass() {
    }

    public static void main(final String[] args) throws Exception {
        Properties streamsConfiguration = new Properties();
        streamsConfiguration.put(StreamsConfig.APPLICATION_ID_CONFIG, "kafka-streams");
        streamsConfiguration.put(StreamsConfig.BOOTSTRAP_SERVERS_CONFIG, "kafka-server:9092");
        streamsConfiguration.put(AbstractKafkaAvroSerDeConfig.SCHEMA_REGISTRY_URL_CONFIG, "schema-registry:8082");
        streamsConfiguration.put(StreamsConfig.COMMIT_INTERVAL_MS_CONFIG, 10 * 1000);
        streamsConfiguration.put(StreamsConfig.CACHE_MAX_BYTES_BUFFERING_CONFIG, 0);
        streamsConfiguration.put(StreamsConfig.KEY_SERDE_CLASS_CONFIG, GenericAvroSerde.class);
        streamsConfiguration.put(StreamsConfig.VALUE_SERDE_CLASS_CONFIG, GenericAvroSerde.class);
        KStreamBuilder builder = new KStreamBuilder();
        KStream<GenericRecord, GenericRecord> sourceStream = builder.stream(SOURCE_TOPIC);

        KStream<GenericRecord, GenericRecord> finishedFiltered = sourceStream
                .filter((GenericRecord key, GenericRecord value) -> value.get("endTime") != null);

        KStream<GenericRecord, GenericRecord>[] branchedStreams = sourceStream
                .filter((GenericRecord key, GenericRecord value) -> value.get("endTime") == null)
                .branch((GenericRecord key, GenericRecord value) -> value.get("firstField") != null,
                        (GenericRecord key, GenericRecord value) -> value.get("secondField") != null);

        branchedStreams[0] = finishedFiltered.join(branchedStreams[0],
                (GenericRecord value1, GenericRecord value2) -> {
                    return value1;
                }, JoinWindows.of(TimeUnit.SECONDS.toMillis(2)));

        branchedStreams[1] = finishedFiltered.join(branchedStreams[1],
                (GenericRecord value1, GenericRecord value2) -> {
                    return value1;
                }, JoinWindows.of(TimeUnit.SECONDS.toMillis(2)));

        KafkaStreams streams = new KafkaStreams(builder, streamsConfiguration);
        streams.setUncaughtExceptionHandler((Thread thread, Throwable throwable) -> {
            throwable.printStackTrace();
        });
        streams.start();

        Runtime.getRuntime().addShutdownHook(new Thread(streams::close));
    }

}

I opened the rocksdbjni-5.0.1.jar archive downloaded by Maven and it includes the librocksdbjni-win64.dll library. It seems that it is trying to retrieve the library from the outside of the RocksDB instead from the inner.

I'm developing on a Windows 7 machine.

Have you ever experienced this problem?

Answer 1

Recently I came through this problem too. I managed to solve this in two steps:

1. Delete all librocksdbjni[...].dll files from C:Users[your_user]AppDataLocalTemp folder.
2. Add maven dependency for rocksdb in your project, this works for me: https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.rocksdb/rocksdbjni/5.0.1

Compile your Kafka Stream App and run it. It should work!
