Greetings All ! I needed some help in obtaining the application logs but I am really confused where it's currently located. Please allow me to explain my problem: 1. I am running the Spark application (written in Java) in a Hortonworks Data Platform Hadoop cluster
2. My spark-submit command is the following: spark-submit --class com.ibm.spark.sparkkafkamapper.ServiceMapperMain --master yarn --packages org.apache.kafka:kafka-clients:0.10.0.1,org.apache.spark:spark-streaming-kafka-0-10_2.11:2.3.0 --deploy-mode client --files job-configuration.properties,log4j.properties,/usr/hdp/current/spark2-client/conf/hive-site.xml ./spark-job.jar --settings=job-configuration.properties log4j-spark.properties --conf "spark.driver.extraJavaOptions=-Dlog4j.configuration=log4j.properties" --conf "spark.executor.extraJavaOptions=-Dlog4j.configuration=log4j.properties" 3. Content of the log4.properties is the following: # Set everything to be logged to the console log4j.rootCategory=ALL, console log4j.appender.console=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender log4j.appender.console.target=System.err log4j.appender.console.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.console.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss} %p %c{1}: %m%n # Set the default spark-shell log level to WARN. When running the spark-shell, the # log level for this class is used to overwrite the root logger's log level, so that # the user can have different defaults for the shell and regular Spark apps. log4j.logger.org.apache.spark.repl.Main=WARN # Settings to quiet third party logs that are too verbose log4j.logger.org.spark_project.jetty=ALL log4j.logger.org.spark_project.jetty.util.component.AbstractLifeCycle=ERROR log4j.logger.org.apache.spark.repl.SparkIMain$exprTyper=INFO log4j.logger.org.apache.spark.repl.SparkILoop$SparkILoopInterpreter=INFO log4j.logger.org.apache.parquet=ERROR log4j.logger.parquet=ERROR # SPARK-9183: Settings to avoid annoying messages when looking up nonexistent UDFs in SparkSQL with Hive support log4j.logger.org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.RetryingHMSHandler=FATAL log4j.logger.org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.FunctionRegistry=ERROR #Any custom class debug log4j.logger.com.vmeg.code=DEBUG 4. Inside the spark application, I am having plenty of logger functions and one example is like this: logger.info("No dataset recieved for this batch"); Question: My question is where is the application log files being written ? I have checked in the yarn logs but couldn't find the messages I have written in the java file. Request your help please as I am little confused and know that there is something very silly which I am missing. Thanks in advance ! Debu
