CDH 5.8.3 and 5.9 Spark Action on Oozie issues.

chrisjackson — Fri, 16 Sep 2022 10:47:57 GMT

Hi All,

I've been developing some oozie workflows that include spark actions. As a smoke test I've been running the SparkPi application from spark examples jar to make sure everything is working as I would expect. Originally my testing was done on CDH 5.8.0 where this workflow was working fine. I've tested it against 5.8.3 and 5.9.0 as well and it does NOT work. I get the following error when yarn tries to execute the spark job:

Error: Could not find or load main class org.apache.spark.deploy.yarn.ApplicationMaster

The workflow and its property file are configured and placed on HDFS as seen below.

placement:

# hadoop fs -ls -R /foo/oozie/oozieApps/pi
drwxr-xr-x   - foo foo          0 2016-11-15 21:16 /foo/oozie/oozieApps/pi/lib
-rw-r--r--   3 foo foo  107864471 2016-11-15 21:16 /foo/oozie/oozieApps/pi/lib/spark-assembly.jar
-rw-r--r--   3 foo foo        655 2016-11-15 21:13 /foo/oozie/oozieApps/pi/workflow.xml

NOTE: The spark-assembly.jar is a copy of /opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH/lib/spark/lib/spark-assembly-1.6.0-cdh5.8.3-hadoop2.6.0-cdh5.8.3.jar

pi.properties:

master=yarn-master
mode=cluster
user.name=foo
nameNode=hdfs://example.com:8020
jobTracker=example.com:8050
queueName=default
oozie.wf.application.path=${nameNode}/foo/oozie/oozieApps/pi
sparkExampleJar=${nameNode}/foo/tmp/spark-examples.jar
argN=10
oozie.use.system.libpath=true

workflow.xml

<workflow-app xmlns='uri:oozie:workflow:0.5' name='SparkPi'>
	<start to='spark-node' />
	<action name='spark-node'>
		<spark xmlns="uri:oozie:spark-action:0.1">
			<job-tracker>${jobTracker}</job-tracker>
			<name-node>${nameNode}</name-node>
			<master>${master}</master>
			<mode>${mode}</mode>
			<name>Spark-pi</name>
			<class>org.apache.spark.examples.SparkPi</class>
			<jar>${sparkExampleJar}</jar>
			<arg>${argN}</arg>
		</spark>
		<ok to="end" />
		<error to="fail" />
	</action>
	<kill name="fail">
		<message>Workflow failed, error
			message[\${wf:errorMessage(wf:lastErrorNode())}]
		</message>
	</kill>
	<end name='end' />
</workflow-app>

I'm guessing that this is some sort of classpath issue because I've checked the content of the spark-assembly.jar and the class that it says it cannot find is indeed included. Any ideas on how to fix this issue or troubleshoot it further?

Can anyone confirm/deny that they are able to reproduce the problem on their 5.8.3 or 5.9.0 environments?

So I found a solution for getting it to work on 5.8.3 and 5.9.

I added the following configuration to the workflow:

<spark-opts>--conf spark.yarn.jar=local:/opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH/lib/spark/lib/spark-assembly.jar</spark-opts>

I don't know why that is necessary on 5.8.3 and 5.9 but not on 5.8.0.
