Sparkcontext Error - File Not Found /tmp/spark-events Does Not Exist

Running a Python Spark Application via API call - On submitting the Application - response - Failed SSH into the Worker My python application exists in /root/spark/work/driver-id

Solution 1:

/tmp/spark-events is the location that Spark store the events logs. Just create this directory in the master machine and you're set.

$mkdir /tmp/spark-events$ sudo /root/spark-ec2/copy-dir /tmp/spark-events/

Solution 2:

While trying to setup my spark history server on my local machine, I had the same 'File file:/tmp/spark-events does not exist.' error. I had customized my log directory to a non-default path. To resolve this, I needed to do 2 things.

1. edit $SPARK_HOME/conf/spark-defaults.conf -- add these 2 lines spark.history.fs.logDirectory /mycustomdir spark.eventLog.enabled true
2. create a link from /tmp/spark-events to /mycustomdir. ln -fs /tmp/spark-events /mycustomdir Ideally, step 1 would have solved my issue entirely, but i still needed to create the link so I suspect there might have been one other setting i missed. Anyhow, once I did this, i was able to run my historyserver and see new jobs logged in my webui.

Solution 3:

Use spark.eventLog.dir for client/driver program

spark.eventLog.dir=/usr/local/spark/history

and use spark.history.fs.logDirectory for history server

spark.history.fs.logDirectory=/usr/local/spark/history

as mentioned in: How to enable spark-history server for standalone cluster non hdfs mode

At least as per Spark version 2.2.1

Solution 4:

I just created /tmp/spark-events on the {master} node and then distributed it to other nodes on the cluster to work.

mkdir /tmp/spark-events
rsync -a /tmp/spark-events {slaves}:/tmp/spark-events

my spark-default.conf:

spark.history.ui.port=18080spark.eventLog.enabled=truespark.history.fs.logDirectory=hdfs:///home/elon/spark/events
