How to fix error java virtual machine not found error in apache storm?

I am setting up apache storm in distributed mode. My Zookeeper is working fine. I am unable to start apache storm nimbus even.

I am following: http://chennaihug.org/knowledgebase/storm-multinode-installation/

Zookeeper config file:

tickTime=2000
dataDir=/data/zookeeper
clientPort=2181
initLimit=5
syncLimit=2
server.1=scarlet:2888:3888
server.2=plum:2888:3888
server.3=peacock:2888:3888
server.4=green:2888:3888
server.5=mustard:2888:3888
server.6=white:2888:3888

Storm.yaml:

storm.zookeeper.servers:
     - "scarlet"
     - "plum"
     - "green"
     - "white"
     - "mustard"
     - "peacock"

nimbus.host: "scarlet"
storm.zookeeper.port: 2181
java.library.path: "/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle"
storm.local.dir: "/app/storm"

I started zookeeper using: 

/opt/zookeeper-3.4.10/bin/zkCli.sh -server scarlet:2181,plum:2181,peacock:2181,green:2181,mustard:2181,white:2181

Checked the status of zookeeper. 5 followers and 1 leader. All working fine.

I start apache storm using:

bin/storm nimbus

where it gives the error:

Solution

  • Turns out the problem was java installation. Purged complete openjdk and re-installed it.

    apt purge default-jdk default-jdk-headless openjdk-8-jdk openjdk-8-jdk-headless openjdk-8-jre openjdk-8-jre-headless
apt install openjdk-8-jdk
