Using the packer distribution from the latest release: https://github.com/datasift/datasift-connector/releases/tag/1.0.15-1

/var/log/datasift/writer.log shows:

I was able to fix by upgrading the jdk to version 8 update 45 (I followed http://tecadmin.net/install-java-8-on-centos-rhel-and-fedora/ )

Speaking to another customer, I can confirm that this resolved their issues. @AndyJS can we look at upgrading the default version of Java we use please?

Problem is still there in 1.0.19-1 (and upgrading the jdk still fixes the problem)

[AndyJS]

We've updated to JDK 1.8_60 in the latest release. This appears to have resolved the KeyException issue.
