Exception in thread “main” java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/spark/Logging

Question

I'm new to Spark. I attempted to run a Spark app (.jar) on CDH 5.8.0-0 on Oracle VirtualBox 5.1.4r110228 which leveraged Spark Steaming to perform sentiment analysis on twitter. I have my twitter account created and all required (4) tokens were generated. I was blocked by the NoClassDefFoundError exception.

I've been googling around for a couple of days. The best advice I found so far was in the URL below but apparently my environment is still missing something.

http://javarevisited.blogspot.com/2011/06/noclassdeffounderror-exception-in.html#ixzz4Ia99dsp0

What does it mean by a library showed up in Compile by was missing at RunTime? How can we fix this?

What is the library of Logging? I came across an article stating this Logging is subject to be deprecated. Besides that, I do see log4j in my environment.

In my CDH 5.8, I'm running these versions of software: Spark-2.0.0-bin-hadoop2.7 / spark-core_2.10-2.0.0 jdk-8u101-linux-x64 / jre-bu101-linux-x64

I appended the detail of the exception at the end. Here is the procedure I performed to execute the app and some verification I did after hitting the exception:

1. Unzip twitter-streaming.zip (the Spark app)
2. cd twitter-streaming
3. run ./sbt/sbt assembly
4. Update env.sh with your Twitter account

$ cat env.sh

export SPARK_HOME=/home/cloudera/spark-2.0.0-bin-hadoop2.7
export CONSUMER_KEY=<my_consumer_key>
export CONSUMER_SECRET=<my_consumer_secret>
export ACCESS_TOKEN=<my_twitterapp_access_token>
export ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET=<my_twitterapp_access_token>

The submit.sh script wrapped up the spark-submit command with required credential info in env.sh:

$ cat submit.sh

source ./env.sh
$SPARK_HOME/bin/spark-submit --class "TwitterStreamingApp" --master local[*] ./target/scala-2.10/twitter-streaming-assembly-1.0.jar $CONSUMER_KEY $CONSUMER_SECRET $ACCESS_TOKEN $ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET

Not sure exactly what it means but everything looked good when I ran Hadoop NativeCheck:

$ hadoop checknative -a

I understand my post was lengthy. Your advice or insights are highly appreciated!!

Answer 1

Use: spark-core_2.11-1.5.2.jar

I had the same problem described by @jsung8 and tried to find the .jar suggested by @youngstephen but could not. However linking in spark-core_2.11-1.5.2.jar instead of spark-core_2.11-1.5.2.logging.jar resolved the exception in the way @youngstephen suggested.
