How to solve "Can't assign requested address: Service 'sparkDriver' failed after 16 retries" when running spark code?

Question

I am learning spark + scala with intelliJ , started with below small piece of code

import org.apache.spark.{SparkConf, SparkContext}

object ActionsTransformations {

  def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
    //Create a SparkContext to initialize Spark
    val conf = new SparkConf()
    conf.setMaster("local")
    conf.setAppName("Word Count")
    val sc = new SparkContext(conf)

    val numbersList = sc.parallelize(1.to(10000).toList)

    println(numbersList)
  }

}

when trying to run , getting below exception

Exception in thread "main" java.net.BindException: Can't assign requested address: Service 'sparkDriver' failed after 16 retries (on a random free port)! Consider explicitly setting the appropriate binding address for the service 'sparkDriver' (for example spark.driver.bindAddress for SparkDriver) to the correct binding address.

can any one suggest what to do .

Answer 1

Seems like you've used some old version of spark. In your case try to add this line:

conf.set("spark.driver.bindAddress", "127.0.0.1")

If you will use spark 2.0+ folowing should do the trick:

val spark: SparkSession = SparkSession.builder()
.appName("Word Count")
.master("local[*]")
.config("spark.driver.bindAddress", "127.0.0.1")
.getOrCreate()

Answer 2

Add SPARK_LOCAL_IP in load-spark-env.sh file located at spark/bin directory

export SPARK_LOCAL_IP="127.0.0.1"
