Are you running Flink on the same machine, or on some remote server, local virtual machine or docker container?

@rmetzger I think you can close this. The reason is the file is a symbink created by the system and I jsut put the data file in it without aware it is just a link to the folder. ls and such supports link, but not the java api.
