if (Utils.isScala2_10()) { binder = (Map<String, Object>) getValue("_binder"); } else { binder = (Map<String, Object>) getLastObject(); } binder.put("sc", sc); // EXCEPTION HERE java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.zeppelin.spark.SparkInterpreter.open(SparkInterpreter.java:887) at org.apache.zeppelin.interpreter.LazyOpenInterpreter.open(LazyOpenInterpreter.java:70) at org.apache.zeppelin.interpreter.remote.RemoteInterpreterServer$InterpretJob.jobRun(RemoteInterpreterServer.java:489) at org.apache.zeppelin.scheduler.Job.run(Job.java:181) at org.apache.zeppelin.scheduler.FIFOScheduler$1.run(FIFOScheduler.java:139) at java.util.concurrent.Executors$RunnableAdapter.call(Executors.java:471) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:262) at java.util.concurrent.ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor$ScheduledFutureTask.access$201(ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor.java:178) at java.util.concurrent.ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor$ScheduledFutureTask.run(ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor.java:292) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1145) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:615) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745) I'm going to check this one stuff: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43289067/getting-nullpointerexception-when-running-spark-code-in-zeppelin-0-7-1 2017-06-26 20:41 GMT+02:00 Richard Xin <richardxin...@yahoo.com>: > Anyone? > > > > On Thursday, June 22, 2017, 3:00:01 PM PDT, Richard Xin < > richardxin...@yahoo.com> wrote: > > > apache/zeppelin > <https://github.com/apache/zeppelin/blob/master/spark/src/main/java/org/apache/zeppelin/spark/SparkInterpreter.java#L1294> > > apache/zeppelin > > zeppelin - Mirror of Apache Zeppelin > > <https://github.com/apache/zeppelin/blob/master/spark/src/main/java/org/apache/zeppelin/spark/SparkInterpreter.java#L1294> > > in the code I see // Some case, > scala.tools.nsc.interpreter.IMain$ReadEvalPrint.call > throws an NPE > > We had issues that Zeppelin note errored out immediately without any hint > messages, and we are seeing this NPE in the spark_interpreter log (Zeppelin > 0.7.1 on AWS EMR cluster). can someone explain what's the likely cause for > this error and how to prevent it from happening again? > > Thanks, > >
