Seems there are problems using RWeka with parallel package. I found workaround solution here.

The most important point is not loading the RWeka package and use the namespace in a encapsulated function.

BigramTokenizer <- function(x) {RWeka::NGramTokenizer(x, RWeka::Weka_control(min = 2, max = 2))}
