Spark on Yarn Container Failure - apache-spark

Question

For reference: I solved this issue by adding Netty 4.1.17 in hadoop/share/hadoop/common
No matter what jar I try and run (including the example from https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/running-on-yarn.html), I keep getting an error regarding container failure when running Spark on Yarn. I get this error in the command prompt:
Diagnostics: Exception from container-launch.
Container id: container_1530118456145_0001_02_000001
Exit code: 1
Stack trace: ExitCodeException exitCode=1:

When I look at the logs, I then find this error:

Any idea why this is happening? This is running on a pseudo-distributed cluster set up according to this tutorial: https://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Hadoop2OnWindows. Spark runs fine locally, and seeing as this jar was provided with Spark, I doubt it's a problem within the jar. (Regardless, I added a Netty dependency inside another jar and I'm still getting the same error).
The only thing set in my spark-defaults.conf is spark.yarn.jars, which points to a hdfs directory where I uploaded all of Spark's jars. io.netty.buffer.PooledByteBufAllocator is contained within these jars.
Spark 2.3.1, Hadoop 2.7.6

Answer 1

I had exactly same issue. Previously I used Hadoop 2.6.5 and the compatible spark version, things worked out fine. When I switched to Hadoop 2.7.6, problem occurred. Not sure what is cause, but I copied to netty.4.1.17.Final jar file to the hadoop library folder then the problem goes away.

Answer 2

Seems like you have multiple netty version on your classpath ,
mvn clean compile
Remove all and add latest one.

Answer 3

This may have the version problem between your yarn and spark. check the compatibility of the versions are installed.
I strongly suggest to read more about NoSuchMethodError and some other similar Exceptions like NoClassDefFoundError and ClassNotFoundException. This suggestions reason is that when you start using spark in different situations these are the much more confusing errors and exception for the people are not so experienced. NosuchMethodError
Of course caring a lot is the best practice strategy for a programmer absolutely the ones working on distributed systems like spark. Well Done. ;)
