Thanks for the reply Thomas! I was just trying to workaround the problem although I agree that all dependencies should be part application package. Here is info.

These dependencies need to be packaged with the application into the .apa application package. The .apa will also need to contain the Kafka dependencies. Can you please share what .jar files are in your app package (unzip -l yourapp.apa) Thomas On Mon, Feb 29, 2016 at 9:10 PM, Suhas Gogate <su...@ampool.io<mailto:su...@ampool.io>> wrote: I have single node data torrent/Apex installation. Software installed under "/opt/datatorrent/releases/3.2.0”. When I uploaded and launched my application I get error finding the class “KafkaSinglePortStringInputOperator”. I could compile the application after adding the dt-contrib dependency but not sure how dt-contrib jars be available for application when running on single node data torrent installation.
