You should not be saving an RDD to local FS if Spark is running on a real cluster. Essentially, each Spark worker will save the partitions that it processes locally.
Check the directories on the worker nodes and you should find pieces of your file on each node.

I m submitting spark job to Yarn in "yarn-client" mode on a 6 node cluster. I ran the job by turning on DEBUG mode.

You can change Spark’s logging level to INFO or DEBUG to see what is going on.

When trying to save rdd to local fs with saveAsTextFile, it is just writing _SUCCESS file in the folder with no part- files and also no error or warning messages on console. Is there any place to look at to fix this problem? Thanks, Sivakumar Bhavanari.
