“sparkContext was shut down” while running spark o

When running sparkJob on a cluster past a certain data size(~2,5gb) I am getting either "Job cancelled because SparkContext was shut down" or "executor lost". When looking at yarn gui I see that job that got killed was successful. There are no problems when running on data that is 500mb. I was looking for a solution and found that: - "seems yarn kills some of the executors as they request more memory than expected."

Any suggestions how to debug it?

command that I submit my spark job with:

/opt/spark-1.5.0-bin-hadoop2.4/bin/spark-submit  --driver-memory 22g --driver-cores 4 --num-executors 15 --executor-memory 6g --executor-cores 6  --class sparkTesting.Runner   --master yarn-client myJar.jar jarArguments

and sparkContext settings

val sparkConf = (new SparkConf()
    .set("spark.driver.maxResultSize", "21g")
    .set("spark.akka.frameSize", "2011")
    .set("spark.eventLog.enabled", "true")
    .set("spark.eventLog.enabled", "true")
    .set("spark.eventLog.dir", configVar.sparkLogDir)
    )

Simplified code that fails looks like that

 val hc = new org.apache.spark.sql.hive.HiveContext(sc)
val broadcastParser = sc.broadcast(new Parser())

val featuresRdd = hc.sql("select "+ configVar.columnName + " from " + configVar.Table +" ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT " + configVar.Articles)
val myRdd : org.apache.spark.rdd.RDD[String] = featuresRdd.map(doSomething(_,broadcastParser))

val allWords= featuresRdd
  .flatMap(line => line.split(" "))
  .count

val wordQuantiles= featuresRdd
  .flatMap(line => line.split(" "))
  .map(word => (word, 1))
  .reduceByKey(_ + _)
  .map(pair => (pair._2 , pair._2))
  .reduceByKey(_+_)
  .sortBy(_._1)
  .collect
  .scanLeft((0,0.0)) ( (res,add) => (add._1, res._2+add._2) )
  .map(entry => (entry._1,entry._2/allWords))

val dictionary = featuresRdd
  .flatMap(line => line.split(" "))
  .map(word => (word, 1))
  .reduceByKey(_ + _) // here I have Rdd of word,count tuples
  .filter(_._2 >= moreThan)
  .filter(_._2 <= lessThan)
  .filter(_._1.trim!=(""))
  .map(_._1)
  .zipWithIndex
  .collect
  .toMap

And Error stack

回答1:

Found the answer.

The my table was saved as a 20gb avro file. When executors tried to open it. Each of them had to load 20gb into memory. Solved it by using csv instead of avro

回答2:

Symptoms are typical of a OutOfMemory error in one the executor tasks. Try augmenting memory for executor when lauching job. See parameter --executor-memory of saprk-submit, spark-shell etc. Default value is 1G

回答3:

Another possible cause of the "SparkContext is shutdown" error is that you are importing a jar file after evaluating some other code. (This may only happen in Spark Notebook.)

To fix the problem, move all your :cp myjar.jar statements to the start of your file.
