Apache Spark error while start

Question

I want to enable single cluster in Apache Spark, I installed java and scala. I downloaded the spark for Apache Hadoop 2.6 and unpacked. I'm trying to turn the spark-shell but throws me an error, in addition, I do not have access to sc in shell. I compiled from source but the same error. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

I've just begun to learn Spark, and I hope run Spark in local mode. I met a problem like yours. The problem:

java.net.BindException: Failed to bind to: /124.232.132.94:0: Service 'sparkDriver' failed after 16 retries!

Because I just wanted to run Spark in local mode, I found a solution to solve this problem. The solution: edit the file spark-env.sh (you can find it in your $SPARK_HOME/conf/) and add this into the file:

export  SPARK_MASTER_IP=127.0.0.1
export  SPARK_LOCAL_IP=127.0.0.1

After that my Spark works fine in local mode. I hope this can help you! :)

Answer 2

Above solution did not work for me. I followed these steps: How to start Spark applications on Windows (aka Why Spark fails with NullPointerException)?

and changed HADOOP_HOME environment variable in system variable. It worked for me.
