We were getting the same problem also. Funny thing our code worked with larger data set and failed for a reduced data set. Anyway we are thinking on passing stacksize override params to jvm may be that can help you.
Please give it a try and let me know. --conf spark.executor.extraJavaOptions=-Xss8m --conf spark.driver.extraJavaOptions=-Xss8m taking 8m is kind a overkill for stack size, so you can start with 4m. -- View this message in context: http://apache-spark-user-list.1001560.n3.nabble.com/java-lang-StackOverflowError-when-calling-count-tp5649p27156.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
