Summary: Potentially misleading error message when sparkR backend is not available Key: ZEPPELIN-5625 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZEPPELIN-5625 Project: Zeppelin Issue Type: Improvement Components: r-interpreter Affects Versions: 0.10.0 Environment: Zeppelin 0.10.0 binary build Ubuntu on AWS Linux ip-172-31-85-96 5.4.0-1060-aws #63~18.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Mon Nov 15 14:31:31 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Reporter: Andrew Musselman Fix For: 0.10.1 R interpreter is dying in my 0.10.0 instance, and the message shown in the cell after trying to execute it has the specific suggestion: {{sparkR backend is dead, please try to increase spark.r.backendConnectionTimeout}} This occurs in rlang/src/main/java/org/apache/zeppelin/r/RInterpreter.java: {{ // render output with knitr}} {{ if (rbackendDead.get()) {}} {{ return new InterpreterResult(InterpreterResult.Code.ERROR,}} {{ "sparkR backend is dead, please try to increase spark.r.backendConnectionTimeout");}} {{ }}} {{ if (useKnitr) {}} {{ zeppelinR.setInterpreterOutput(null);}} If this is the real cause of all dead R backends this makes sense; if not, it could be a red herring. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.1#820001)
