Apache Spark: ERROR local class incompatible when initiating a SparkContext class

Question

Hi I'm runnign example on Spark site at http://spark.apache.org/docs/1.2.0/quick-start.html#self-contained-applications

spark version: spark-1.4.0

sbt version: 0.13.8

And I ran command "sbt run" and got error "java.io.InvalidClassException: org.apache.spark.deploy.ApplicationDescription; local class incompatible".

This application fails at "val sc = new SparkContext(conf)", when I'm trying to initiate a SparkContext class. I've googled around and see this post but I didn't use hadoop-client.

Could you please check it out? My guess is a version issue in build.sbt. Thank you very much.

update: I've try to submit python application and works fine which means Spark cluster is OK.

scala code is below:

/* SimpleApp.scala */
import org.apache.spark.SparkContext
import org.apache.spark.SparkContext._
import org.apache.spark.SparkConf

object SimpleApp {
  def main(args: Array[String]) {
    val logFile = "YOUR_SPARK_HOME/README.md" // Should be some file on your system
    val conf = new SparkConf().setAppName("Simple Application")
    val sc = new SparkContext(conf)
    val logData = sc.textFile(logFile, 2).cache()
    val numAs = logData.filter(line => line.contains("a")).count()
    val numBs = logData.filter(line => line.contains("b")).count()
    println("Lines with a: %s, Lines with b: %s".format(numAs, numBs))
  }
}

built.sbt is below:

name := "Simple Project"

version := "1.0"

scalaVersion := "2.10.4"

libraryDependencies += "org.apache.spark" %% "spark-core" % "1.2.0"

error message is below:

Solution

You say you are running with a Spark 1.4.0 cluster but your build.sbt is building with 1.2.0. Please change to this in your build.sbt:

libraryDependencies += "org.apache.spark" %% "spark-core" % "1.4.0"
