How to access Spark web UI in Yarn mode - apache-spark

I am running a pyspark job as a AWS EMR step and the script takes well over 15 minutes to run. I have 1 master and 3 core nodes in the EMR cluster. I want to find out why and which part of my script is taking long. For that I wanted to see the Spark web UI. When I click on "Tracking URL: Applicationmaster" in Yarn UI (port 8088), my browser keeps spinning and it unable to display the Spark UI. The URL link in the browser is:
http://ip-172-31-x-x.ec2.internal:20888/proxy/application_1579701541309_1029/
This is obviously private DNS. How do I see the Spark UI even if this is on a temporary basis for me to troubleshoot. I can change the AWS Security group, if needed. And later, how can this be handled when I am in production environment?
Thanks

Cannot get PySpark working in Kubernetes getting (Initial job has not accepted any resources)

I'm trying to use the following Helm Chart for Spark on Kubernetes
https://github.com/bitnami/charts/tree/main/bitnami/spark
The documentation is of course spotty but I've muddled along. So I have it installed with custom values that assign things like resource limits etc. I'm accessing the master through a NodePort and the WebUI through a port forward. I am NOT using spark-submit, I'm writing Python code to drive the Spark Cluster as follows:
import pyspark
sc = pyspark.SparkContext(appName="Testy", master="spark://<IP>:<PORT>")
This Python code is running locally on my Windows laptop, the Kubernetes cluster is on a separate set of servers. It connects and I can see the app appear in the WebUI but the second it tries to do something I get the following:
WARN TaskSchedulerImpl: Initial job has not accepted any resources; check your cluster UI to ensure that workers are registered and have sufficient resources
The master seems to be in a cycle of removing and launching executors and the 3 workers each just fail to run a launch command. Interestingly the command has the hostname of my laptop in here:
"--driver-url" "spark://CoarseGrainedScheduler#<laptop hostname>:60557"
Got to imagine that's not right. So in this setup where should I be actually running the python code? On the kubernetes cluster? Can I run it locally on my laptop? These details are of course missing from the docs. I'm new to Spark so just looking for the absolute basics. My preferred workflow would be to develop code locally on my laptop then run it on the Kubernetes cluster I have access to.

Determine where spark program is failing?

Is there anyway to debug a Spark application that is running in a cluster mode? I have a program that has been running successfully for a while, which processes a couple hundred GB at a time. Recently I had some data cause the run to fail due to executors being disconnected. From what I have read, this is likely a memory issue. I'm trying to determine what function/action is causing the memory issue to trigger. I am using Spark on an EMR cluster(which uses YARN), what would be the best way to debug this issue?
For cluster mode you can go to the YARN Resource Manager UI and select the Tracking UI for your specific running application (which points to the spark driver running on the Application Master within the YARN Node Manager) to open up the Spark UI which is the core developer interface for debugging spark apps.
For client mode you can also go to the YARN RM UI like previously mentioned as well as hit the Spark UI via this address => http://[driverHostname]:4040 where driverHostName is the Master Node in EMR and 4040 is the default port (this can be changed).
Additionally you can access submitted and completed spark apps via the Spark History Server via this default address => http://master-public-dns-name:18080/
These are the essential resources with the Spark UI being the main toolkit for your request.

Spark jobs not showing up in Hadoop UI in Google Cloud

I created a cluster in Google Cloud and submitted a spark job. Then I connected to the UI following these instructions: I created an ssh tunnel and used it to open the Hadoop web interface. But the job is not showing up.
Some extra information:
If I connect to the master node of the cluster via ssh and run spark-shell, this "job" does show up in the hadoop web interface.
I'm pretty sure I did this before and I could see my jobs (both running and already finished). I don't know what happened in between for them to stop appearing.
The problem was that I was running my jobs in local mode. My code had a .master("local[*]") that was causing this. After removing it, the jobs showed up in the Hadoop UI as before.

How to make sure Spark master node is using the worker nodes? (Google cluster)

I just created a Google Cloud cluster (1 master and 6 workers) and by default Spark is configured.
I have a pure python code that uses NLTK to build the dependency tree for each line from a text file. When I run this code on the master spark-submit run.py I get the same execution time when I run it using my machine.
How to make sure that the master is using the workers in order to reduce the execution time ?
You can check the spark UI. If its running on top of yarn, please open the yarn UI and click on your application id which will open the spark UI. Check under the executors tab it will have the node ip address also.
could you please share your spark submit config.
Your command 'spark-submit run.py' doesn't seem to send your job to YARN. To do such thing, you need to add the --master parameter. For example, a valid command to execute a job in YARN is:
./bin/spark-submit --master yarn python/pi.py 1000
If you execute your job from the master, this execution will be straightforward. Anyway, check this link for another parameter that spark-submit accept.
For a Dataproc cluster (Hadoop Google cluster) you have two options to check the job history including the ones that are running:
By command line from the master: yarn application -list, this option sometimes needs additional configuration. If you have troubles, this link will be useful.
By UI. Dataproc enables you to access the Spark Web UI, it improves monitoring tasks. Check this link to learn how to access the Spark UI and other Dataproc UIs. In summary, you have to create a tunnel and configure your browser to use socks proxy.
Hope the information above help you.

How to know whether Spark is running in standalone mode or running on Yarn?

In my cluster sever, Spark is already being deployed.
(Someone has set ip up and left quite a long time ago)
I want to know whether Spark is running in standalone mode or running on Yarn.
How can I check it?
If you have access to the Spark UI - navigate to the "Environment" tab and search for "master" configuration:
If it says yarn - it's running on YARN... if it shows a URL of the form spark://... it's a standalone cluster.
