Could you be using by any chance the getOrCreate for the StreamingContext creation?
I've seen this happen when I tried to first create the Spark context, then create the broadcast variables, and then recreate the StreamingContext from the checkpoint directory. So the worker process cannot find the broadcast variables that were used in the saved StreamingContext. tnks, Rod -- View this message in context: http://apache-spark-user-list.1001560.n3.nabble.com/broadcast-variable-get-cleaned-by-ContextCleaner-unexpectedly-tp10347p14884.html Sent from the Apache Spark User List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@spark.apache.org
