Cygnus startup error: ClassNotFoundException - fiware

Question

My environment is VM with CentOS 6.6
I followed the instruction in https://github.com/telefonicaid/fiware-cygnus/blob/master/doc/quick_start_guide.md to install Cygnus. java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel was also installed and the JAVA_HOME set.
Installation went fine and it installed package cygnus.x86_64 0:0.8.2-0.g7353160
To test Cygnus I created the agent_test.conf and notification.sh files as instructed. When I start Cygnus, it outputs following stuff:
[root#localhost ~]# /usr/cygnus/bin/cygnus-flume-ng agent --conf /usr/cygnus/conf/ -f /usr/cygnus/conf/agent_test.conf -n cygnusagent -Dflume.root.logger=INFO,console
+ exec /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64/bin/java -Xmx20m -Dflume.root.logger=INFO,console -cp '/usr/cygnus/conf:/usr/cygnus/lib/*:/usr/cygnus/plugins.d/cygnus/lib/*:/usr/cygnus/plugins.d/cygnus/libext/*' -Djava.library.path= com.telefonica.iot.cygnus.nodes.CygnusApplication -f /usr/cygnus/conf/agent_test.conf -n cygnusagent

Port 5050 should be OK as it's added with

I found a bit similar problem Cygnus error: class not found DestinationExtractor$Builder but that was with a much older version. Should Cygnus 0.8.2-0.g7353160 work?
Any pointers?

Answer 1

From Cygnus 0.8.1 the interceptor type for the grouping mechanism is not named DestinationExtractor anymore, but GroupingInterceptor. This is detailed in the Cygnus 0.8.2 README (showing relevant parts):
cygnusagent.sources.http-source.interceptors = ts gi
cygnusagent.sources.http-source.interceptors.ts.type = timestamp
cygnusagent.sources.http-source.interceptors.gi.type = com.telefonica.iot.cygnus.interceptors.GroupingInterceptor$Builder
cygnusagent.sources.http-source.interceptors.gi.grouping_rules_conf_file = /usr/cygnus/conf/grouping_rules.conf
Nevertheless, the Quick Start Guide must be updated, nice catch!
