How to fix exception: ERROR XSDB6: Another instance of Derby may have already booted the database

Sidhartha — Fri, 16 Sep 2022 13:26:39 GMT

I have hdfs cluster on linux centos which contains Spark.1.6.0 by default. Since it is an old one, I updated spark version to Spark.2.2.0 and Scala version to 2.11.8. In Spark2 using spark object, I am trying to load a file into spark in using below steps:

scala> import org.apache.spark.sql.SparkSession
import org.apache.spark.sql.SparkSession
scala> val spark = SparkSession.builder().getOrCreate()
18/07/09 01:25:27 WARN SparkContext: Using an existing SparkContext; some configuration may not take effect.
spark: org.apache.spark.sql.SparkSession = org.apache.spark.sql.SparkSession@9ae0794

I don't see any problem until now. But when I load a text file into spark, I see the below exception:

scala> val input = spark.read.textFile("input")
18/07/09 01:26:04 ERROR Schema: Failed initialising database.

I checked f there are any other instances running using the command: ps -ef | grep spark-shell and found couple of instances running. So I killed all of them and started to work on the same. But the same exception occurs when I repeat all same steps to load a textFile.

I checked for solutions in similar questions and tried to fix it in vain. Could anyone let me know how can I fix this problem.

I'm also getting the same exception while fetching the database details by using pyspark

from pyspark.sql import HiveContext
from pyspark.sql import SQLContext
from pyspark.sql import HiveContext
from pyspark.sql import SparkSession
from pyspark import SparkConf, SparkContext

conf = (SparkConf().set("spark.kryoserializer.buffer.max", "512m"))
sc = SparkContext(conf=conf)
hive_context = HiveContext(sc)

sqlContext = SQLContext(sc)

sqlContext.sql("use default")

above code I can execute till the 6 line, from 7th line I'm getting the exception.

in my cluster by default PostgreSQL database came, after that, I manually installed Mysql, not integrated with Cloudera, because of this I'm getting this exception?

can help me with this, please.
