Spark SQL on Google Compute Engine issue

Question

We are using bdutil 1.1 to deploy a Spark (1.2.0) cluster. However, we are having an issue when we launch our spark script:

py4j.protocol.Py4JJavaError: An error occurred while calling o70.registerTempTable.

The script works on my laptop. I have datanucleus-api-jdo-3.2.6.jar in the /home/hadoop/spark-install/lib path.

Any ideas of what could be wrong?

Answer 1

I needed to add :

SPARK_CLASSPATH=/home/hadoop/spark-install/lib/datanucleus-api-jdo-3.2.6.jar:/home/hadoop/spark-install/lib/datanucleus-core-3.2.10.jar:/home/hadoop/spark-install/lib/datanucleus-rdbms-3.2.9.jar 

before my spark-submit command:

SPARK_CLASSPATH=/home/hadoop/spark-install/lib/datanucleus-api-jdo-3.2.6.jar:/home/hadoop/spark-install/lib/datanucleus-core-3.2.10.jar:/home/hadoop/spark-install/lib/datanucleus-rdbms-3.2.9.jar ../hadoop/spark-install/bin/spark-submit main.py --master spark://spark-m:7077
