@ANSARI FAHEEM AHMED , Can you try to see memory assigned to Spark History Server ? See if you can increase it. Second thought is please check no of applications is being shown in History server and see what is limit assigned to it. Hope this may help.

Hi,

 

Please check for the Heap memory of the Spark history server. Based on the load size, the memory can be increased.

 

Thanks
