VisualVM redefinition failed with error 62

Error:

Redefinition failed with error 62 
Check JVMTI documentation for this error code.

This occurs when you try to profile a Java application through JVisualVM. This is a bug. A workaround can be found here.

The application you want to profile must be launched with the flag:

-Xverify:none

Example for regular jar:

java -Xverify:none -jar your_app.jar

An example for Spring Boot Yarn is below. The application.yml file for AppMaster:

spring:
  
  ...
  
  yarn:
    
    ...
    
    appmaster:
      
      ...
      
      launchcontext:
        
        ...
        
        options:
          
          ...
         
          - -Xverify:none

After that, profiling the application through VisualVM will work properly.
