Running Spark on YARN on single node

Question

I'm learning a bit of Data Science and I'm trying to discover and understand the various tools related to it.

So far I have a working installation of Hadoop 2.8.0 on Mac OS and now I'd like to make Spark 2.1.1 work too. I know that Spark doesn't necessarily need the Hadoop environment to work, but I also know that making it run over YARN can be useful in order to share data with other applications.

After reading different guides and suggestions online, this is what I have done:

• In Hadoop configuration files, I added in yarn-site.xml:

  <property>
      <name>yarn.nodemanager.aux-services</name>
      <value>mapreduce_shuffle</value>
  </property>
  <property>
      <name>yarn.nodemanager.aux-services.mapreduce.shuffle.class</name>
      <value>org.apache.hadoop.mapred.ShuffleHandler</value>
  </property>
  <property>
      <name>yarn.resourcemanager.hostname</name>
      <value>localhost</value>
  </property>
  <property>
      <name>yarn.resourcemanager.scheduler.address</name>
      <value>localhost:8030</value>
  </property>
  <property>
      <name>yarn.resourcemanager.address</name>
      <value>localhost:8032</value>
  </property>
  <property>
      <name>yarn.resourcemanager.webapp.address</name>
      <value>localhost:8088</value>
  </property>
  <property>
      <name>yarn.resourcemanager.resource-tracker.address</name>
      <value>localhost:8031</value>
  </property>
  <property>
      <name>yarn.resourcemanager.admin.address</name>
      <value>localhost:8033</value>
  </property>
  

• In Spark configuration files, I added in spark-env.sh:

  export SPARK_MASTER_IP=localhost
  export SPARK_WORKER_CORES=1
  export SPARK_WORKER_MEMORY=800m
  export SPARK_WORKER_ISTANCES=1
  export HADOOP_CONF_DIR=$HADOOP_HOME/etc/hadoop
  export SPARK_EXECUTOR_INSTANCES=1
  export SPARK_LOCAL_IP=127.0.0.1
  

Now, after starting Hadoop with $HADOOP_HOME/sbin/start-dfs.sh and $HADOOP_HOME/sbin/start-yarn.sh, if I try to launch:

sudo spark-shell --master yarn

(which should be the way to make Spark run over Yarn, if I understand correctly), after a very long time, I get the following error:

17/06/09 14:55:44 WARN YarnSchedulerBackend$YarnSchedulerEndpoint: Attempted to request executors before the AM has registered!

What am I doing wrong? Maybe it's something obvious, but I'm new to this and I need some help.

Answer 1

The 0.0.0.0 address in the exception points to the fact that spark-shell is not configured to pick up the address of YARN resource-manager. (Refer this)

Spark picks up the address of YARN ResourceManager from HADOOP_CONF_DIR or YARN_CONF_DIR. In your case, I would suspect that HADOOP_CONF_DIR is not set properly. Just a hunch. Hope this helps!
