AWS Lambda Invocation error while using java sdk

Question

While trying to invoke AWS Lambda in asynchronous mode using java sdk, I see the following error:-

ERROR [2018-04-20 03:07:09,053] io.dropwizard.jersey.errors.LoggingExceptionMapper: Error handling a request: 4e552086b3525fbf

I have used version 1.11.106 of AWS SDK. My pom.xml is shown below

<dependencyManagement>
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.amazonaws</groupId>
            <artifactId>aws-java-sdk-bom</artifactId>
            <version>1.11.106</version>
            <type>pom</type>
            <scope>import</scope>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.amazonaws</groupId>
    <artifactId>aws-java-sdk-lambda</artifactId>
</dependency>`

My java code that is invoking producing this error is as follows

AWSLambda client = AWSLambdaClientBuilder.standard()
                .withCredentials(new DefaultAWSCredentialsProviderChain())
                .withRegion("us-west-2")
                .build();
InvokeRequest request = new InvokeRequest().withFunctionName("streamConsumer").withInvocationType("Event").withLogType("Tail").withClientContext("service").withPayload(ByteBuffer.wrap(json.getBytes("UTF-8"))).withQualifier("1");
InvokeResult response = client.invoke(request);
