I have posted the same question of Stack Overflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/37421852/spark-submit-continues-to-hang-after-job-completion
I am trying to test spark 1.6 with hdfs in AWS. I am using the wordcount python example available in the examples folder. I submit the job with spark-submit, the job completes successfully and its prints the results on the console as well. The web-UI also says its completed. However the spark-submit never terminates. I have verified that the context is stopped in the word count example code as well. What could be wrong ? This is what I see on the console. 6-05-24 14:58:04,749 INFO [Thread-3] handler.ContextHandler (ContextHandler.java:doStop(843)) - stopped o.s.j.s.ServletContextHandler{/stages/stage,null}2016-05-24 14:58:04,749 INFO [Thread-3] handler.ContextHandler (ContextHandler.java:doStop(843)) - stopped o.s.j.s.ServletContextHandler{/stages/json,null}2016-05-24 14:58:04,749 INFO [Thread-3] handler.ContextHandler (ContextHandler.java:doStop(843)) - stopped o.s.j.s.ServletContextHandler{/stages,null}2016-05-24 14:58:04,749 INFO [Thread-3] handler.ContextHandler (ContextHandler.java:doStop(843)) - stopped o.s.j.s.ServletContextHandler{/jobs/job/json,null}2016-05-24 14:58:04,750 INFO [Thread-3] handler.ContextHandler (ContextHandler.java:doStop(843)) - stopped o.s.j.s.ServletContextHandler{/jobs/job,null}2016-05-24 14:58:04,750 INFO [Thread-3] handler.ContextHandler (ContextHandler.java:doStop(843)) - stopped o.s.j.s.ServletContextHandler{/jobs/json,null}2016-05-24 14:58:04,750 INFO [Thread-3] handler.ContextHandler (ContextHandler.java:doStop(843)) - stopped o.s.j.s.ServletContextHandler{/jobs,null}2016-05-24 14:58:04,802 INFO [Thread-3] ui.SparkUI (Logging.scala:logInfo(58)) - Stopped Spark web UI at http://172.30.2.239:40402016-05-24 14:58:04,805 INFO [Thread-3] cluster.SparkDeploySchedulerBackend (Logging.scala:logInfo(58)) - Shutting down all executors2016-05-24 14:58:04,805 INFO [dispatcher-event-loop-2] cluster.SparkDeploySchedulerBackend (Logging.scala:logInfo(58)) - Asking each executor to shut down2016-05-24 14:58:04,814 INFO [dispatcher-event-loop-5] spark.MapOutputTrackerMasterEndpoint (Logging.scala:logInfo(58)) - MapOutputTrackerMasterEndpoint stopped!2016-05-24 14:58:04,818 INFO [Thread-3] storage.MemoryStore (Logging.scala:logInfo(58)) - MemoryStore cleared2016-05-24 14:58:04,818 INFO [Thread-3] storage.BlockManager (Logging.scala:logInfo(58)) - BlockManager stopped2016-05-24 14:58:04,820 INFO [Thread-3] storage.BlockManagerMaster (Logging.scala:logInfo(58)) - BlockManagerMaster stopped2016-05-24 14:58:04,821 INFO [dispatcher-event-loop-3] scheduler.OutputCommitCoordinator$OutputCommitCoordinatorEndpoint (Logging.scala:logInfo(58)) - OutputCommitCoordinator stopped!2016-05-24 14:58:04,824 INFO [Thread-3] spark.SparkContext (Logging.scala:logInfo(58)) - Successfully stopped SparkContext2016-05-24 14:58:04,827 INFO [sparkDriverActorSystem-akka.actor.default-dispatcher-2] remote.RemoteActorRefProvider$RemotingTerminator (Slf4jLogger.scala:apply$mcV$sp(74)) - Shutting down remote daemon.2016-05-24 14:58:04,828 INFO [sparkDriverActorSystem-akka.actor.default-dispatcher-2] remote.RemoteActorRefProvider$RemotingTerminator (Slf4jLogger.scala:apply$mcV$sp(74)) - Remote daemon shut down; proceeding with flushing remote transports.2016-05-24 14:58:04,843 INFO [sparkDriverActorSystem-akka.actor.default-dispatcher-2] remote.RemoteActorRefProvider$RemotingTerminator (Slf4jLogger.scala:apply$mcV$sp(74)) - Remoting shut down. I have to do a ctrl-c to terminate the spark-submit process. This is really a weird problem and I have no idea how to fix this. Please let me know if there are any logs I should be looking at, or doing things differently here.
