Beyond Big Data

Today I faced an error while trying to use Spark shell. This is how I resolved. scala> val file = sc.textFile("hdfs://...") 14/10/21 13:34:23 INFO MemoryStore: ensureFreeSpace(217085) called with curMem=0, maxMem=309225062 14/10/21 13:34:23 INFO MemoryStore: Block broadcast_0 stored as values to memory (estimated size 212.0 KB, free 294.7 MB) file: org.apache.spark.rdd.RDD[String] = MappedRDD[1] at textFile at <console>:12 scala> file.count() java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: java.net.UnknownHostException: user     at org.apache.hadoop.security.SecurityUtil.buildTokenService(SecurityUtil.java:377)     at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.NameNodeProxies.createNonHAProxy(NameNodeProxies.java:237)     at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.NameNodeProxies.createProxy(NameNodeProxies.java:141) This error can be fixed by giving proper hostname and port sc.textFile("hdfs://{hostname}:8020/{filepath}...") scala> file.count() 14/10/21 13:44:23 INFO FileInputFormat: Tota

In the latest version of CDH5.2, while trying to run spark-shell will encounter this error. user@spark-master:~# spark-shell /opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH-5.2.0-1.cdh5.2.0.p0.36/bin/../lib/spark/bin/spark-shell: line 44: /opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH-5.2.0-1.cdh5.2.0.p0.36/lib/spark/bin/utils.sh: No such file or directory Solution: utils.sh can be downloaded from github. I'm not sure this is the perfect solution, but things seems to be working after putting the file 1. get the file from https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/bin/utils.sh 2. copy utils.sh to  /opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH/lib/spark/bin/  user@spark-master:/opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH-5.2.0-1.cdh5.2.0.p0.36/lib/spark/bin# spark-shell SLF4J: Class path contains multiple SLF4J bindings.
