Hi, Although Spark is fault tolerant when nodes go down like below:
FROM tmp [Stage 1:===========> (20 + 10) / 100]16/08/11 20:21:34 ERROR TaskSchedulerImpl: Lost executor 3 on xx.xxx.197.216: worker lost [Stage 1:========================> (44 + 8) / 100] It can carry on. However, when the node (the host) that the app was started on goes down the job fails as the driver disappears as well. Is there a way to avoid this single point of failure, assuming what I am stating is valid?
