Running Spark job in Oozie using Yarn-cluster - apache-spark

Question

I had created a Spark Job using Oozie which configure run on yarn-cluster.
The Spark program is written in Scala and is a very simple program which just initialize SparkContext, println("hello world") and stop the SparkContext.
Below is the workflow.xml:
<workflow-app name="My_Workflow" xmlns="uri:oozie:workflow:0.5">
<start to="spark-0177"/>
<kill name="Kill">
<message>Action failed, error message[${wf:errorMessage(wf:lastErrorNode())}]</message>
</kill>
<action name="spark-0177">
<spark xmlns="uri:oozie:spark-action:0.1">
<job-tracker>${jobTracker}</job-tracker>
<name-node>${nameNode}</name-node>
<master>yarn-cluster</master>
<mode>cluster</mode>
<name>MySpark</name>
<class>com.test1</class>
<jar>/user/hue/oozie/workspaces/tl_test/lib/testOozie1.jar</jar>
<spark-opts>--executor-cores 2 --driver-memory 5g --num-executors 2 --executor-memory 5g</spark-opts>
</spark>
<ok to="End"/>
<error to="Kill"/>
</action>
<end name="End"/>
</workflow-app>
However, i was getting the following error:

Oozie Launcher failed, finishing Hadoop job gracefully
Oozie Launcher, uploading action data to HDFS sequence file: hdfs://MYRNDSVRVM350:8020/user/oozie-oozi/0000084-150828094553499-oozie-oozi-W/spark-156b--spark/action-data.seq
Oozie Launcher ends
Please help as i'm totally stuck already.
Thanks.

Answer 1

I meet the exactly same wired problem. It turns out that multiple spaces in <spark-opts> cause this un-informtive error. You have two spaces between --executor-cores 2 --driver-memory 5g.

Answer 2

Can not create a Path from an empty string <- Spark is trying to stage your code, but your Oozie workflow doesn't provide the jar path, hence the empty path exception.
Providing the jar path in Oozie will fix this
