Hi Under Spark 1.0.0, standalone, client mode am trying to invoke a 3rd party udp traffic generator, from the streaming thread. The excerpt is as follows: ... do{
try { p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(Prog "); socket.receive(packet); output.clear(); kryo.writeObject(output, packet); store(output); ... Program has a test to check for existing instantiation, e.g. [ "$(pidof Prog)" ] && exit. This code runs fine, i.e., 3rd party application is invoked, data is received, analyzed on driver, etc. Problem arises, when I test redundancy and fault-tolerance. Specifically, when I manually terminate Prog, upon recovery, multiple invocations are observed. This could be due to multiple threads getting through [ "$(pidof Prog)" ] && exit. However, I was hoping by adding semaphores, as follows, to avoid this problem: ... do{ try { sem.acquire(); p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("Prog"); sem.release(); }catch(IOException ioe) { //ioe.printStackTrace(); break; } socket.receive(packet); //InetAddress returnIPAddress = packet.getAddress(); returnPort = packet.getPort(); output.clear(); kryo.writeObject(output, packet); store(output); ... However, I am still seeing multiple invocations of Prog, upon recovery. I have also experimented with the following configuration parameters, to no avail: sparkConf.set("spark.cores.max", args[1]); sparkConf.set("spark.task.cpus", args[2]); sparkConf.set("spark.default.parallelism",args[2]); with args={(1,1),(2,1), (1,2),...} Any thoughts?
