Subject: Re: cTakes on Apache Spark - Error

There is a point in LvgCmdApiResourceImpl where it changes the working 
directory so that LVG can find the config file.  I have no idea how this would 
be supposed to work on Spark, but I guess that using relative paths in your 
config is going to be a problem.

There is also a point in LvgCmdApiResourceImpl where it is converting a URI to 
a File instance.  You should check whether that's ending up with an hdfs URL, 
and if so whether it is doing the right thing.

I would make sure that you have all the logging coming out from 
LvgCmdApiResourceImpl and check that the paths are correct.  You could also 
look at my patch on 
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__issues.apache.org_jira_browse_CTAKES-2D501&d=DwIBAg&c=A-GX6P9ovB1qTBp7iQve2Q&r=XKrHrIXqmdSXbdk4FWNCxNg6U89BilpFu7mhvHYmxp0&m=2ESez2jFD_fXg1r29anNuVEtg8IaC9VcV-X2JVazdwY&s=-VeCagWj7ufaFlaKzprWxsdGEnbsrxbznX5cSflfF1k&e=,
which includes some additional logging in this area.

HTH,

Ewan.
