An exception in the "main" thread java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder.getSingleton () Lorg / slf4j / impl / StaticLoggerBinder

Question

My local environment: OSX 10.9.2, java1.6

I use java api to connect hbase and maven to manage my project, I added Hbase-0.94.17 and Hadoop-core-1.0.4 to pom.xml when I ran my .java program to connect Hbase. I got the following error:

SLF4J: slf4j-api 1.6.x (or later) is incompatible with this binding. SLF4J: Your binding is version 1.5.5 or earlier. SLF4J: Upgrade your binding to version 1.6.x. Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder.getSingleton()Lorg/slf4j/impl/StaticLoggerBinder; at org.slf4j.LoggerFactory.bind(LoggerFactory.java:128) at org.slf4j.LoggerFactory.performInitialization(LoggerFactory.java:107) at org.slf4j.LoggerFactory.getILoggerFactory(LoggerFactory.java:295) at org.slf4j.LoggerFactory.getLogger(LoggerFactory.java:269) at org.slf4j.LoggerFactory.getLogger(LoggerFactory.java:281) at org.apache.zookeeper.ZooKeeper.<clinit>(ZooKeeper.java:94) at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.zookeeper.RecoverableZooKeeper.<init>(RecoverableZooKeeper.java:98) at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.zookeeper.ZKUtil.connect(ZKUtil.java:127) at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.zookeeper.ZooKeeperWatcher.<init>(ZooKeeperWatcher.java:153) at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.zookeeper.ZooKeeperWatcher.<init>(ZooKeeperWatcher.java:127) at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.HConnectionManager$HConnectionImplementation.getZooKeeperWatcher(HConnectionManager.java:1505) at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.HConnectionManager$HConnectionImplementation.ensureZookeeperTrackers(HConnectionManager.java:713) at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.HConnectionManager$HConnectionImplementation.locateRegion(HConnectionManager.java:983) at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.HConnectionManager$HConnectionImplementation.locateRegion(HConnectionManager.java:958) at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.HTable.finishSetup(HTable.java:251) at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.HTable.<init>(HTable.java:155) at org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.HTable.<init>(HTable.java:129) at org.geogit.storage.hbase.MyLittleHBaseClient.main(MyLittleHBaseClient.java:29) 

This is what I got after running the mvm: tree dependency

Answer 1

Have slf4j-api and select the SLF4J binding of the appropriate version and add them as dependencies in your own POM. Perhaps some of your dependencies are transitively resolving the incompatible version of the SLF4J binding that caused the problem. Find the unwanted SLF4J binding in the library (you can easily do this with mvn dependency:tree ) and add the appropriate exception to your dependency to this lib.

(Normally, the SLF4J binding should not be declared in the library. There is actually something wrong that you can tell the library developer after you find the actual reason)

Exactly what I'm talking about:

From the dependency tree:

 [INFO] +- org.geogit:geogit-core:jar:0.8-SNAPSHOT:compile [INFO] | +- org.slf4j:slf4j-api:jar:1.7.5:compile ..... [INFO] +- org.apache.hbase:hbase-client:jar:0.98.0-hadoop2:compile ..... [INFO] | +- org.apache.zookeeper:zookeeper:jar:3.4.5:compile [INFO] | | \- org.slf4j:slf4j-log4j12:jar:1.6.1:compile 

You have the slf4j-log4j12 from hbase-client , and version 1.6.1

However, slf4j-api you have version 1.7.5 in your project. They are incompatible.

The correct way to solve:

• Exclude slf4j-log4j12 from your hbase-client dependency
• Declare a compatible SLF4J binding in your own project

You should also report this as a bug for the zookeeper / hbase developer, since the library should not include the SLF4J binding as a function of compilation volume.
