Spark -Shell does not start

[#1]

When I try to start spark-shell using Cloudera quick start VM 5.8 and 5.10 it just hangs and does not do anything,

is it any solution available for this.I have attached the screen shot. Any help ?

 Spark services are running

For some strange reason I cant open ur screenshot .

could you paste the error in the Insert code tag. 

Could you let me know if you had set your Java_home path  and Spark_home ? 

master and worker node status ?

what type of spark are you trying 

• Standalone - meaning Spark will manage its own cluster
• YARN - using Hadoop's YARN resource manager
• Mesos - 

try this command  -  in your command line prompt 

SPARK_HOME/bin/pyspark

or 

SPARK_HOME/bin/spark-shell

Hi,

Thanks for the response. I am using cloudera quick start VM 5.10 with 16 GB RAM.I tried the below path

/usr/lib/spark>spark-shell

However all it says 

Service SparkUI could not bind on port 4040.Attempting port 4041

and hangs...means does not proceed further

how did you solve this?

This weekend we encounter the same issue.

we changed the resource manager to standby on the current node and made active on another node.

spark-shell is working.

Still problem exists on original node. Unable to identify the issue
