Asif, EMR 4.x services are run with upstart <http://upstart.ubuntu.com/>, so that if they die or are killed, they will be automatically restarted. Did the Zeppelin server process not actually die but just got stuck? Because if it did die, it should have been restarted. Or was it the Zeppelin Spark interpreter process that died but not the Zeppelin server?
Also, though zeppelin-daemon.sh stop/start seems to work on EMR (according to Josef's suggestion and your experience with it working), the correct way to restart service on EMR is to use "sudo stop <service-name>; sudo start <service-name>" (and in this case "<service-name>" is "zeppelin-server"), but I think I have experienced some bugs with this method for Zeppelin (in that I think I've experienced "sudo stop zeppelin-server" not actually stopping the server), so a more sure way of restarting Zeppelin is to "sudo kill -9" all processes being run by the zeppelin user and to let upstart restart the Zeppelin server. ~ Jonathan On Sun, Nov 29, 2015 at 11:31 PM, Asif Imran <covariantmon...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Joseph, > > Thanks so much for the fast response.
