I'm running into a problem getting this working as well. I have spark-submit and spark-shell working fine, but pyspark in interactive mode can't seem to find the lzo jar:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Class com.hadoop.compression.lzo.LzoCodec not found This is in /usr/lib/hadoop/lib/hadoop-lzo-0.6.0.jar which is in my SPARK_CLASSPATH environment variable, but that doesn't seem to be picked up by pyspark. Any ideas? I can't find much in the way of docs on getting the environment right for pyspark.

You need to make sure all machines have python installed, and... that's about it. Your assembly jar will be shipped to all containers along with all the pyspark and py4j files needed. One caveat, however, is that the jar needs to be built in maven and not on a Red Hat-based OS, http://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/building-with-maven.html#building-for-pyspark-on-yarn In addition, it should be built with Java 6 because of a known issue with building jars with Java 7 and including python files in them (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-1718). Lastly, if you have trouble getting it to work, you can follow the steps I have listed in a different thread to figure out what's wrong: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/spark-user/201406.mbox/%3ccamjob8mr1+ias-sldz_rfrke_na2uubnmhrac4nukqyqnun...@mail.gmail.com%3e Let me know if you can get it working, -Andrew 2014-09-03 5:03 GMT-07:00 Oleg Ruchovets <oruchov...@gmail.com<mailto:oruchov...@gmail.com>>: Hi all. I am trying to run pyspark on yarn already couple of days: http://hortonworks.com/kb/spark-1-0-1-technical-preview-hdp-2-1-3/ I posted exception on previous posts. It looks that I didn't do correct configuration. I googled quite a lot and I can't find the steps should be done to configure PySpark running on Yarn. Can you please share the steps (critical points) should be configured to use PaSpark on Yarn ( hortonworks distribution) : Environment variables. Classpath copy jars to all machine other configuration. Thanks Oleg.
