I quickly went through the code: Flink
      gathers some data about the hardware available, like
      numberOfCPUCores / available physical memory.
      
      Now the physical memory part is apparently only used for logging /
      metrics display in the dashboard, so its not a problem that you
      got it, 
      it is simply not relevant for the computation. For clarification,
      this exception was not propagated through Flink, but immediately
      catched and logged.
      
      The program that flink uses is not installed on your machine. As
      such the (supposedly) simple fix is to install it, but I can't
      help you there.

      Hi,
        
I'm working on a project using flink with Spring boot, when
          i run the application i get an exception: 
        
          Cannot determine the size of the physical memory for
            Windows host (using 'wmic memorychip'): Cannot run program
            "wmic": CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the
            file specified
          
          
          java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "wmic":
            CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file
            specified.
         
        
        
        However despite this exception the application runs
          normally and outputs the desired result, so what does this
          exception mean and how can i solve it?
        Thanks
