Hi Vanzin, I am using the MapR distribution of Hadoop. The history server logs are created by a job with the permissions:
drwxrwx--- - <myusername> <mygroup> 2 2015-01-08 09:14 /apps/spark/historyserver/logs/spark-1420708455212 However, the permissions of the higher directories are mapr:mapr and the user that runs Spark in our case is a unix ID called mapr (in the mapr group). Therefore, this can't read my job event logs as shown above. Thanks, Michael -----Original Message----- From: Marcelo Vanzin [mailto:van...@cloudera.com] Sent: 07 January 2015 18:10 To: England, Michael (IT/UK) Cc: user@spark.apache.org Subject: Re: Spark History Server can't read event logs The Spark code generates the log directory with "770" permissions. On top of that you need to make sure of two things: - all directories up to /apps/spark/historyserver/logs/ are readable by the user running the history server - the user running the history server belongs to the group that owns /apps/spark/historyserver/logs/ I think the code could be more explicitly about setting the group of the generated log directories and files, but if you follow the two rules above things should work. Also, I recommend setting /apps/spark/historyserver/logs/ itself to "1777" so that any user can generate logs, but only the owner (or a superuser) can delete them.
