Hi,
I encounter the error: "java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: sun.misc.Unsafe or java.nio.DirectByteBuffer.<init>(long, int) not available" When reading from Google BigQuery (GBQ) table using Kubernetes cluster built on debian buster The current debian bustere from the docker image is: root@ccf3ac45d0ed:/opt/spark/work-dir# cat /etc/*-release PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)" And the Java version is echo $JAVA_HOME /usr/local/openjdk-11 Now according to Spark 3.1.2 doc <https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/> "*For Java 11*, -Dio.netty.tryReflectionSetAccessible=true is required additionally for Apache Arrow library. This prevents *java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: sun.misc.Unsafe or java.nio.DirectByteBuffer.(long, int) not available* when Apache Arrow uses Netty internally. So I have used it as follows: spark-submit --verbose \ --properties-file ${property_file} \ --master k8s://https://$KUBERNETES_MASTER_IP:443 \ --deploy-mode cluster \ --name pytest \ --conf spark.yarn.appMasterEnv.PYSPARK_PYTHON=./pyspark_venv/bin/python \ --py-files $CODE_DIRECTORY/DSBQ.zip \ --conf spark.kubernetes.namespace=$NAMESPACE \ --conf spark.executor.memory=5000m \ --conf spark.network.timeout=300 \ --conf spark.executor.instances=2 \ --conf spark.kubernetes.driver.limit.cores=1 \ --conf spark.driver.cores=1 \ --conf spark.executor.cores=1 \ --conf spark.executor.memory=2000m \ --conf spark.kubernetes.driver.docker.image=${IMAGEGCP} \ --conf spark.kubernetes.executor.docker.image=${IMAGEGCP} \ --conf spark.kubernetes.container.image=${IMAGEGCP} \ --conf spark.kubernetes.authenticate.driver.serviceAccountName=spark-bq \ --conf spark.driver.extraJavaOptions="-Dio.netty.tryReflectionSetAccessible=true" \ --conf spark.executor.extraJavaOptions="-Dio.netty.tryReflectionSetAccessible=true" \ $CODE_DIRECTORY/${APPLICATION} However, some comments mentioned <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62109276/errorjava-lang-unsupportedoperationexception-for-pyspark-pandas-udf-documenta> that these parameters need to be supplied before spark-submit, so I added them to $SPARK_HOME/conf/spark-defaults.conf 185@b272bbf663e6:/opt/spark/conf$ cat spark-defaults.conf spark.driver.extraJavaOptions="-Dio.netty.tryReflectionSetAccessible=true" spark.executor.extraJavaOptions="-Dio.netty.tryReflectionSetAccessible=true" But I'm still getting the same error! Any ideas will be appreciated. Mich *Disclaimer:* Use it at your own risk.
