Hey Everett, I would ideally swing by to see the pipeline in person, but I'm traveling all over the place the next couple of weeks. Most common cause of job stalls in Spark in my experience has been during very large shuffles where not enough tasks are allocated to do the work the job requires. This series of blog posts is worth a read:
