java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.spark.internal.Logging.$init$

Question

I am new to Spark and i want to create a structured streaming for Spark to read and display the messages of Kafka topic. I am writing the following in sample.py file:

from pyspark.sql import SparkSession
from pyspark.sql.functions import explode
from pyspark.sql.functions import split
import os

os.environ['PYSPARK_SUBMIT_ARGS'] = '--packages org.apache.spark:spark-sql-kafka-0-10_2.12:2.4.4 pyspark-shell'
spark = SparkSession.builder.appName("StructuredNetworkWordCount").getOrCreate()


df = spark.readStream.format("kafka").option("kafka.bootstrap.servers","localhost:9092").option("subscribe", "testKafka").option("startingOffsets", "earliest").load()
df.printSchema()
df.selectExpr("CAST(key AS STRING)", "CAST(value AS STRING)")

and I have put the spark-sql-kafka file in the jars folder inside /usr/local/spark. I am running this by writing: spark-submit --packages org.apache.spark:spark-sql-kafka-0-10_2.12:2.4.4 sample.py but it is giving me error:

Why is this happening?

Answer 1

You need to have

1. Scala 2.12 and Java 8 installed
2. Spark 2.4.4 downloaded (your error says you have Spark 2.4.5)

Then packages of _ 2.12 :2.4.4 should just work

---

Alternative:

Use the following

scala_ver = '2.12'
spark_ver = '2.4.4'
spark_group = 'org.apache.spark'

packages = []
packages += f'{spark_group}:spark-sql-kafka-0-10_{scala_ver}:{spark_ver}'

os.environ['PYSPARK_SUBMIT_ARGS'] = '--packages {} pyspark-shell'.format(','.join(packages))
spark = SparkSession.builder.appName("StructuredNetworkWordCount").getOrCreate()
