Younos Aboulnaga updated SPARK-14638:
-------------------------------------
Description:
We have started to frequently see Spark apps failing because of a
NoClassDefFoundError thrown despite that the dependency had been added to the
ClassLoader just before it was thrown. The [Executor.run method adds the
JAR|https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/v1.6.1/core/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/executor/Executor.scala#L193]
containing the class but then a NoClassDefFoundError is thrown subsequently.
We see log messages from
[updateDependencies|https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/v1.6.1/core/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/executor/Executor.scala#L386]
indicating that the JAR is fetched and added to the class loader. Upon
inspection of the worker dir, the JAR is there, it is not corrupted, and it
contains the class that could not be found in the class loader.
We first saw this when we started writing streaming apps, and we thought it is
something specific to streaming apps. However, this was wrong as the same
problem happened with several batch apps.
We first saw this on a Standalone cluster, and we though that it might be a
problem caused by the lack of resource manager. Now we installed Mesos and the
problem still happens.
I tried to create a POC Spark App that demonstrates the problem, but I couldn't
reliably reproduce it. The problem would still happen in other apps, but it
didn't happen in the POC app even though I made it structurally the same as any
other app we run. The problem seems to be environmental, specially because we
found a work around for it.
The work around we found is setting SPARK_CLASSPATH *on the executor nodes* to
a local copy of the dependency. The problem still happens if we set the
'spark.executor.extraClassPath' or 'spark.driver.extraClassPath' or set
SPARK_CLASSPATH on the driver node. However, if the SPARK_CLASSPATH is set on
the executor node, then the problem doesn't happen because the JAR doesn't need
to be added to the class loader by Executor#updateDependencies.
Other symptoms of the problem are the following:
1) Even though there is a 'log4j.properties' in the
'spark.executor.extraClassPath', the first line of the stderr of the worker
says "Using Spark's default log4j profile:
org/apache/spark/log4j-defaults.properties" The log4j.properties file that is
shipped with the job is totally neglected.
2) Any configuration files on 'spark.executor.extraClassPath' are neglected. I
am mentioning this because log4j.properties is loaded very early on and in a
static call, which might sway the troubleshooting into wrong directions.
Here is the specific example in our case:
> grep NoClassDef workers/app-20160414111328-0043/0/stderr
Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.protobuf.ProtobufUtil
Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.protobuf.ProtobufUtil
.. SEVERAL ATTEMPTS ...
Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.protobuf.ProtobufUtil
Even though, in the same application worker dir:
> for j in workers/app-20160414111328-0043/0/*.jar ; do jar tf $j | grep
> ProtobufUtil ; done;
org/apache/hadoop/hbase/protobuf/ProtobufUtil$1.class
org/apache/hadoop/hbase/protobuf/ProtobufUtil.class
There are other examples, specially for configurations not being found. I think
the SPARK-12279 can also be caused by the same root cause.
We have been seeing this in several of our clusters and several engineers had
spent days looking into why their applications suffer from this. We rebuilt our
infrastructure (always on AWS EC2 nodes) and tested many hypotheses, including
things that are non-sensical, and we still can't find anything that reliably
reproduces the problem. The only reliable piece of information is that setting
SPARK_CLASSPATH *on the executor nodes* prevents the problem from happening,
because then the dependencies are included in the -cp parameter of the java
command running the CoarseGrainedExecutorBackend .
We would appreciate if someone more knowledgeable in Spark internals take a
look, and we can help by providing as much details as possible.
