Siarani, does your spark-master look like it's still up (i.e. if you check the UI?).
I cannot tell if you see this error on "get" or "initial create". You can start debugging by dumping out the value of master in setMaster(master) -- especially if this failure is from the intial startup >From the error it appears that your application is unable to (re?)connect to the master upon checkpoint restart -- I wonder if the reason it needs to restart is that the master went down... -- View this message in context: http://apache-spark-user-list.1001560.n3.nabble.com/Spark-Streaming-getOrCreate-tp18060p18194.html Sent from the Apache Spark User List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@spark.apache.org
