Given the following command line to spark-submit: bin/spark-submit --verbose --master local[2]--class org.yardstick.spark.SparkCoreRDDBenchmark /shared/ysgood/target/yardstick-spark-uber-0.0.1.jar
Here is the output: NOTE: SPARK_PREPEND_CLASSES is set, placing locally compiled Spark classes ahead of assembly. Using properties file: /shared/spark-1.4.1/conf/spark-defaults.conf Adding default property: spark.akka.askTimeout=180 Adding default property: spark.master=spark://mellyrn.local:7077 Error: Cannot load main class from JAR file:/shared/spark-1.4.1/org.yardstick.spark.SparkCoreRDDBenchmark Run with --help for usage help or --verbose for debug output The path "file:/shared/spark-1.4.1/org.yardstick.spark.SparkCoreRDDBenchmark" does not seem to make sense. It does not reflect the path to the file that was specified on the "submit-spark" command line. Note: when attempting to run that jar file via java -classpath shared/ysgood/target/yardstick-spark-uber-0.0.1.jar org.yardstick.spark.SparkCoreRDDBenchmark Then the result is as expected: the main class starts to load and then there is a NoClassDefFoundException on the SparkConf.classs (which is not inside the jar). This shows the app jar is healthy.
