org.apache.thrift: Invalid method name: 'authenticate'

Question

I am running some basic Accumulo code from the user manual that is presenting this error.

A simple google search did not provide anything useful.

ERROR

org.apache.accumulo.core.client.AccumuloException: org.apache.thrift.TApplicationException: Invalid method name: 'authenticate'
    at org.apache.accumulo.core.client.impl.ServerClient.execute(ServerClient.java:77)

    at org.apache.accumulo.core.client.ZooKeeperInstance.getConnector(ZooKeeperInstance.java:221)
    at AccumuloTest.main(AccumuloTest.java:21)

CODE LOG

I can do an SSH session into the accumulo box, and then run sudo ./accumulo shell -u -p and get into the shell instance. I cannot use the same username and password to authenticate into the accumulo instance through code. Is there something that I am missing here?

Answer 1

I ran into this today. It turns out I was connecting with Accumulo 1.5 jars to a Accumulo 1.4 instance. After updating my client jars to match the server version I was able to get past this issue.
