You need to follow these as those are for spark thrift Configuring Cluster Dynamic Resource Allocation Manually To configure a cluster to run Spark jobs with dynamic resource allocation, complete the following steps: Add the following properties to the spark-defaults.conf file associated with your Spark installation (typically in the $SPARK_HOME/conf directory): Set spark.dynamicAllocation.enabled to true . Set spark.shuffle.service.enabled to true . (Optional) To specify a starting point and range for the number of executors, use the following properties: spark.dynamicAllocation.initialExecutors spark.dynamicAllocation.minExecutors spark.dynamicAllocation.maxExecutors Note that initialExecutors must be greater than or equal to minExecutors , and less than or equal to maxExecutors . For a description of each property, see Dynamic Resource Allocation Properties. Start the shuffle service on each worker node in the cluster: In the yarn-site.xml file on each node, add spark_shuffle to yarn.nodemanager.aux-services , and then set yarn.nodemanager.aux-services.spark_shuffle.class to org.apache.spark.network.yarn.YarnShuffleService . Review and, if necessary, edit spark.shuffle.service.* configuration settings. For more information, see the Apache Spark Shuffle Behavior documentation. Restart all NodeManagers in your cluster. ...
