IllegalArgumentException when trying to execute job

[Papadopoulos, Konstantinos]

Hi all,

I am trying to execute a batch job that gets a list of IDs and perform a loop 
with a number of steps during each iteration including reading from a MS SQL 
Server DB.

A sample pseudo-code of our implementation is the following:

List<Long> ids = ...

ids.foreach(
     id -> executeIteration();
)

void executeIteration {
     // 1. Read from source DB
     // 2. Perform a number of transformations
     // 3. Write data to local file
}

When I am trying to execute the aforementioned job to a local Flink cluster, 
job fails retrieving the following exception:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: open() failed.The query processor could not 
start the necessary thread resources for parallel query execution.

Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?

Thanks in advance,
