Unrecognized Hadoop major version number - apache-spark

Question

I am trying to initialize an Apache Spark instance on Windows 10 to run a local test. My problem is during the initialization of the Spark instance, I get an error message. This code has worked for me a lot of times previously, so I am guessing something might have changed in the dependencies or the configuration. I am running using JDK version 1.8.0_192, Hadoop should be 3.0.0 and Spark version is 2.4.0. I am also using Maven as a build tool if that is relevant.
Here is the way I am setting up the session:
def withSparkSession(testMethod: SparkSession => Any) {
val uuid = UUID.randomUUID().toString
val pathRoot = s"C:/data/temp/spark-testcase/$uuid" // TODO: make this independent from Windows
val derbyRoot = s"C:/data/temp/spark-testcase/derby_system_root"
// TODO: clear me up -- Derby based metastore should be cleared up
System.setProperty("derby.system.home", s"${derbyRoot}")
val conf = new SparkConf()
.set("testcase.root.dir", s"${pathRoot}")
.set("spark.sql.warehouse.dir", s"${pathRoot}/test-hive-dwh")
.set("spark.sql.catalogImplementation", "hive")
.set("hive.exec.scratchdir", s"${pathRoot}/hive-scratchdir")
.set("hive.exec.dynamic.partition.mode", "nonstrict")
.setMaster("local[*]")
.setAppName("Spark Hive Test case")
val spark = SparkSession.builder()
.config(conf)
.enableHiveSupport()
.getOrCreate()
try {
testMethod(spark)
}
finally {
spark.sparkContext.stop()
println(s"Deleting test case root directory: $pathRoot")
deleteRecursively(nioPaths.get(pathRoot))
}
}
And this is the error message I receive:
An exception or error caused a run to abort.

So far I tried changing up the JDK versions to jdk1.8.0_181 and jdk11+28-x64. I also tried deleting the HADOOP_HOME environment variables from the system, but they didn't help. (Currently they are set to C:\Data\devtools\hadoop-win\3.0.0)

Answer 1

If you're on windows, you shouldn't be pulling CDH dependencies (3.0.0-cdh6.3.4), as Cloudera doesn't support Windows, last I checked.
But, you should be using Spark3, if you have Hadoop3+, and keep HADOOP_HOME, as that is definitely necessary.
Also, only Hadoop 3.3.4 has introduced Java 11 runtime support, so Java 8 is what you should stick with.

Answer 2

I have solved the problem. During the project development we also added HBase to the build, which pulled in a different Hadoop version from Cloudera as its dependency, so the versions got mixed up. Taking it out HBase dependency from the pom.xml solved the problem.
