itholic opened a new pull request #29666:
URL: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/29666
### What changes were proposed in this pull request?
In certain environments, seems it fails to run run-tests.py script as below:
```
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
...
raise RuntimeError('''
RuntimeError:
An attempt has been made to start a new process before the
current process has finished its bootstrapping phase.
This probably means that you are not using fork to start your
child processes and you have forgotten to use the proper idiom
in the main module:
if __name__ == '__main__':
freeze_support()
...
The "freeze_support()" line can be omitted if the program
is not going to be frozen to produce an executable.
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
raise EOFError
EOFError
```
The reason is that Manager.dict() launches another process when the main
process is initiated.
It works in most environments for an unknown reason but it should be good to
avoid such pattern as guided from Python itself.
### Why are the changes needed?
To prevent the test failure for Python.
### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
No, it fixes a test script.
### How was this patch tested?
Manually ran the script after fixing.
