Apache Spark running spark-shell on YARN error

Question

I downloaded: spark-2.1.0-bin-hadoop2.7.tgz from http://spark.apache.org/downloads.html. I have Hadoop HDFS and YARN started with $ start-dfs.sh and $ start-yarn.sh. But running $ spark-shell --master yarn --deploy-mode client gives me the error below:

    $ spark-shell --master yarn --deploy-mode client
Setting default log level to "WARN".
To adjust logging level use sc.setLogLevel(newLevel). For SparkR, use setLogLevel(newLevel).

YARN detects Spark is running with it, but the error is causing Spark to exit with undefined status.

Answer 1

I found the solution from another Stackoverflow question. It was not about configuring Apache Spark, it was about configuring Hadoop YARN:

Running yarn with spark not working with Java 8

Make sure your yarn-site.xml, from your Hadoop configuration folder, has these properties:

<property>
    <name>yarn.nodemanager.pmem-check-enabled</name>
    <value>false</value>
</property>

<property>
    <name>yarn.nodemanager.vmem-check-enabled</name>
    <value>false</value>
</property>
