Spark on yarn mode end with "Exit status: -100. Diagnostics: Container released on a *lost* node"

Question

I am trying to load a database with 1TB data to spark on AWS using the latest EMR. And the running time is so long that it doesn't finished in even 6 hours, but after running 6h30m , I get some error announcing that Container released on a lost node and then the job failed. Logs are like this:

I am pretty sure that my network setting works because I have tried to run this script on the same environment on a much smaller table.

Also, I am aware that somebody posted a question 6 months ago asking for the same issue:spark-job-error-yarnallocator-exit-status-100-diagnostics-container-released but I still have to ask because nobody was answering this question.

Answer 1

Looks like other peoples has the same issue as well, so I just post an answer instead of writing a comment. I am not sure that this would solve the issue but this should be an idea.

If you use spot instance, you should know that spot instance will be shut down if the price is higher than your input, and you will hit this issue. Even if you are just using a spot instance as a slave. So my solution is not using any spot instance for long term running job.

Another idea is to slice the job into many independent steps, so you can save the result of each step as a file on S3. If any error happened, just start from that step by the cached files.

Answer 2

is it dynamic allocation of memory ? I had similar issue I fixed it by going with static allocation by calculating executor memory, executor cores and executors. Try Static allocation for huge workloads in Spark.

Answer 3

This means your YARN container is down, to debug what happened, you must read YARN logs, use the official CLI yarn logs -applicationId or feel free to use and contribute to my project https://github.com/ebuildy/yoga a YARN viewer as web app.

You should see lot of Worker errors.
