Spark Socket Timeout issue while writing to hdfs

I am trying to process a hive query and write to HDFS as ORC format. But I am getting a timeout issue. I checked in spark-default.conf ,but there is no timeout settings, should i add it? Please let me know the changes to make

temp = sqlContext.sql(""" query """)
temp.write.format("orc").option("header", "true").save("hdfs://app/Quality/spark_test/")

Attached is the log of the error

: org.apache.hadoop.net.ConnectTimeoutException: Call From .. to app:8020 failed on socket timeout exception: org.apache.hadoop.net.ConnectTimeoutException: 20000 millis timeout while waiting for channel to be ready for connect. ch : java.nio.channels.SocketChannel[connection-pending remote=app/64.100.51.136:8020]; For more details see:  http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/SocketTimeout

The problem comes from badly provided hdfs location. When you are providing hdfs://app/ spark will assume that the namenode host name is app

So to solve this problem: in your code when you are providing the hdfs location you should:

Either provide the namenode's hostname/or IP, so your code should be:

temp.write.format("orc").option("header", "true").save("hdfs://NAMENODE_HOST:8020/app/Quality/spark_test/")

Or, if you have already configured Spark with HDFS/Yarn, by setting the configuration files' locations in spark-env.sh, providing the location on HDFS without the protocol (hdfs), so the code will be :
```
temp.write.format("orc").option("header", "true").save("/app/Quality/spark_test/")
```
