Exception in thread “main” java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/spark/Logging - apache-spark

Question

I'm new to Spark. I attempted to run a Spark app (.jar) on CDH 5.8.0-0 on Oracle VirtualBox 5.1.4r110228 which leveraged Spark Steaming to perform sentiment analysis on twitter. I have my twitter account created and all required (4) tokens were generated. I was blocked by the NoClassDefFoundError exception.
I've been googling around for a couple of days. The best advice I found so far was in the URL below but apparently my environment is still missing something.
http://javarevisited.blogspot.com/2011/06/noclassdeffounderror-exception-in.html#ixzz4Ia99dsp0
What does it mean by a library showed up in Compile by was missing at RunTime? How can we fix this?
What is the library of Logging? I came across an article stating this Logging is subject to be deprecated. Besides that, I do see log4j in my environment.
In my CDH 5.8, I'm running these versions of software:
Spark-2.0.0-bin-hadoop2.7 / spark-core_2.10-2.0.0
jdk-8u101-linux-x64 / jre-bu101-linux-x64
I appended the detail of the exception at the end. Here is the procedure I performed to execute the app and some verification I did after hitting the exception:
Unzip twitter-streaming.zip (the Spark app)
cd twitter-streaming
run ./sbt/sbt assembly
Update env.sh with your Twitter account
$ cat env.sh
export SPARK_HOME=/home/cloudera/spark-2.0.0-bin-hadoop2.7
export CONSUMER_KEY=<my_consumer_key>
export CONSUMER_SECRET=<my_consumer_secret>
export ACCESS_TOKEN=<my_twitterapp_access_token>
export ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET=<my_twitterapp_access_token>
The submit.sh script wrapped up the spark-submit command with required credential info in env.sh:
$ cat submit.sh
source ./env.sh
$SPARK_HOME/bin/spark-submit --class "TwitterStreamingApp" --master local[*] ./target/scala-2.10/twitter-streaming-assembly-1.0.jar $CONSUMER_KEY $CONSUMER_SECRET $ACCESS_TOKEN $ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET

Not sure exactly what it means but everything looked good when I ran Hadoop NativeCheck:

I understand my post was lengthy. Your advice or insights are highly appreciated!!

Answer 1

Use: spark-core_2.11-1.5.2.jar
I had the same problem described by #jsung8 and tried to find the .jar suggested by #youngstephen but could not. However linking in spark-core_2.11-1.5.2.jar instead of spark-core_2.11-1.5.2.logging.jar resolved the exception in the way #youngstephen suggested.

Answer 2

org/apache/spark/Logging was removed after spark 1.5.2.
Since your spark-core version is 2.0, then the simplest solution is:
download a single spark-core_2.11-1.5.2.logging.jar and put it in the jars directory under your spark root directory.
Anyway, It solves my problem, hope it helps.

Answer 3

One reason that may cause this problem is lib and class conflict.
I faced this problem and solved it using some maven exclusions:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.spark</groupId>
<artifactId>spark-core_2.11</artifactId>
<version>2.0.0</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>log4j</groupId>
<artifactId>log4j</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.spark</groupId>
<artifactId>spark-streaming_2.11</artifactId>
<version>2.0.0</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.spark</groupId>
<artifactId>spark-streaming-kafka-0-10_2.11</artifactId>
<version>2.0.0</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>slf4j-log4j12</artifactId>
</exclusion>
<exclusion>
<groupId>log4j</groupId>
<artifactId>log4j</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>

Answer 4

You're using an old version of the Spark Twitter connector. This class from your stack trace hints at that:
org.apache.spark.streaming.twitter.TwitterUtils
Spark removed that integration in version 2.0. You're using the one from an old Spark version that references the old Logging class which moved to a different package in Spark 2.0.
If you want to use Spark 2.0, you'll need to use the Twitter connector from the Bahir project.

Answer 5

Spark core version should be degraded to 1.5 due to the below error
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/spark/Logging
http://bahir.apache.org/docs/spark/2.0.0/spark-streaming-twitter/ provides the better solution for this. By adding the below dependency, my issue was resolved.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.bahir</groupId>
<artifactId>spark-streaming-twitter_2.11</artifactId>
<version>2.0.0</version>
</dependency>
