WARN cluster.YarnScheduler: Initial job has not accepted any resources

I'm using Cloudera manager 7.4.4 and running the spark(2.4.4) application. I'm facing below warning and application is going on to infinite loop.

WARN cluster.YarnScheduler: Initial job has not accepted any resources; check your cluster UI to ensure that workers are registered and have sufficient resources

I'm using a simple spark-submit command. spark-submit <filename.py>
my python version is 2.7

When I'm running the below command I got many other errors

spark-submit --master yarn --deploy-mode cluster --driver-memory 5g --executor-memory 5g --num-executors 3 --executor-cores 2 <filename.py>

Below are the errors

you should check the container logs for the one mentioned in the snapshots above for more details. Generally caused due to resource crunch. You can consider increasing the below yarn configs as well.

yarn.nodemanager.resource.memory-mb
yarn.nodemanager.resource.cpu-vcores

Hope this helps,

Hi @SantoshB

You can see such messages when you have reached user factor limit/resource limit on queue level.

You can check tune user-limit factor or check queue utilization to schedule applications accordingly.

Also seems application has failed with exit-code 13, can you please share YARN trace to identify reason for failure?
