Mac spark-shell Error initializing SparkContext - apache-spark

Question

I tried to start spark 1.6.0 (spark-1.6.0-bin-hadoop2.4) on Mac OS Yosemite 10.10.5 using
"./bin/spark-shell".
It has the error below. I also tried to install different versions of Spark but all have the same error. This is the second time I'm running Spark. My previous run works fine.
log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.apache.hadoop.metrics2.lib.MutableMetricsFactory).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
log4j:WARN See http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/faq.html#noconfig for more info.

Answer 1

Following steps might help:
Get your hostname by using "hostname" command.
Make an entry in the /etc/hosts file for your hostname if not present as follows:
127.0.0.1 your_hostname

Answer 2

I always get that when switching between networks. This solves it:
$ sudo hostname -s 127.0.0.1

Answer 3

I've built it from the current master branch with version 2.0.0-SNAPSHOT. After adding export SPARK_LOCAL_IP="127.0.0.1" to load-spark-env.sh it worked for me. I'm using Macos 10.10.5. So it could be version issue?

Answer 4

Just set the spark.driver.host to be your localhost if you use IDE
SparkConf conf = new SparkConf().setMaster("local[2]").setAppName("AnyName").set("spark.driver.host", "localhost");
JavaSparkContext sc = new JavaSparkContext(conf);

Answer 5

There are two errors I think.
Your spark local ip was not correct and needs to be change to 127.0.0.1.
You didn't difine sqlContext properly.
For 1. I tried:
1) exported SPARK_LOCAL_IP="127.0.0.1" in ~/.bash_profile
2) added export SPARK_LOCAL_IP="127.0.0.1" in load-spark-env.sh under $SPARK_HOME
But neither worked. Then I tried the following and it worked:
val conf = new SparkConf().
setAppName("SparkExample").
setMaster("local[*]").
set("spark.driver.bindAddress","127.0.0.1")
val sc = new SparkContext(conf)
For 2. you can try:
sqlContext = SparkSession.builder.config("spark.master","local[*]").getOrCreate()
and then import sqlContext.implicits._
The builder in SparkSession will automatically use the SparkContext if it exists, otherwise it will create one. You can explicitly create two if necessary.

Answer 6

If you don't want to change the hostname of your Mac, you can do the following:
Find the template file spark-env.sh.template on your machine (It is probably in /usr/local/Cellar/apache-spark/2.1.0/libexec/conf/).
cp spark-env.sh.template spark-env.sh
Add export SPARK_LOCAL_IP=127.0.0.1 under the comment for local IP.
Start spark-shell and enjoy it.

Answer 7

If you are using Scala to run the code in an IDE, and if you face the same issue and you are not using SparkConf() as pointed out above and using SparkSession() then you could bind the localhost address as follows as set only works in SparkConf(). You should use .config() to set the spark configuration as shown below:
val spark = SparkSession
.builder()
.appName("CSE512-Phase1")
.master("local[*]").config("spark.driver.bindAddress", "localhost")
.getOrCreate()

Answer 8

export SPARK_LOCAL_IP=127.0.0.1
For mac .bash_profile.

Answer 9

This happens when you switched between different networks(VPN - PROD, CI based on your company networks to access different environments).
I had the same issue, whenever I switch the VPN.
update sudo /etc/hosts with the hostname value on your Mac.

Answer 10

Sometimes firewall prevents creating and binding a socket. make sure that your firewall is not enable and also you have to check the ip of your machine in /etc/hosts and make sure it's OK then try again:
sudo ufw disable

Answer 11

sparkContext = new JavaSparkContext("local[4]", "Appname")
export SPARK_LOCAL_IP=127.0.0.1
just doing above worked for me.

Answer 12

In Mac,Check IP in System Preference -> Network -> click the Wifi you are connected(it should show green icon) -> check the IP just above your Network Name.
Make following entry in ../conf/spark-env.sh :
SPARK_MASTER_HOST=<<your-ip>>
SPARK_LOCAL_IP=<<your-ip>>
and than try spark-shell.
Doing above changes worked for me.

Answer 13

When ever you will switch network while working with spark, It happens due to network switch.
for instant fix you have to add "spark.driver.bindAddress" in "localhost" mode or "127.0.0.1" in your spark application
// Create a SparkContext using every core of the local machine
val confSpark = new SparkConf().set("spark.driver.bindAddress", "localhost")
val sc = new SparkContext("local[*]", "appname", conf = confSpark)
