Shuttingdown. Hello, I am new to Spark and doing my first steps with it today. Right now I am having trouble with the error: ERROR Worker: Connection to master failed! Shutting down. So far, I found out the following: The standalone version of Spark (without Hadoop-HDFS and YARN) works perfectly. The master starts and also the worker starts and get registered at the master.
