We were able to reproduce the issue.
It was caused by calling getSideOutput() and split() on a single
DataStream, which isn't properly handled by Flink.
As a work-around one can add a no-op map function before the split() call.
I've filed FLINK-9141 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-9141>.

Hi,
which version of Flink are you using?
Could you provide us with a reproducing example? I tried reproducing
it based on the information you provided in the following code, but it
runs fine for me:
private static final OutputTag<String> tag = new
OutputTag<String>("test"){};
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
final StreamExecutionEnvironment env =
StreamExecutionEnvironment.getExecutionEnvironment();
DataStream<String> text1 = env.fromElements("foo");
DataStream<String> text2 = env.fromElements("bar");
SingleOutputStreamOperator<String> process = text1.connect(text2)
.process(new CoProcessFunction<String, String, String>() {
@Override
public void processElement1(String value, Context ctx,
Collector<String> out) throws Exception {
}
@Override
public void processElement2(String value, Context ctx,
Collector<String> out) throws Exception {
}
});
process.getSideOutput(tag).print();
// execute program
env.execute("Streaming WordCount");
}

Hi All,
I'm having issues with creating side outputs. There are two input
sources (both from kafka) and they are connected and fed into a
co-process function. Inside the co-process, the regular data stream
outputs a POJO and in processElement2 there is a periodic timer which
creates the side output. When I start the job I get the below
exception. Is there something that I'm doing wrong?
I used the below example to implement the side output.
https://github.com/apache/flink/blob/master/flink-examples/flink-examples-streaming/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/streaming/examples/sideoutput/SideOutputExample.java
processElement2
ctx.output("side-output", POJO);
Job
dataStream.getSideOutput("side-output").print();
