submitting PySpark app to spark on YARN in cluster mode

Question

I'm trying to test a big data platform that has been built for the team I work in. It has spark running on YARN.

Is it possible to create PySpark apps and submit them on a YARN cluster ?

I'm able to submit an example SparkPi jar file successfully, it returns the output in the YARN stdout logs.

Here is my PySpark code that I'm trying to test;

from pyspark import SparkConf
from pyspark import SparkContext

HDFS_MASTER = 'hadoop-master'

conf = SparkConf()
conf.setMaster('yarn')
conf.setAppName('spark-test')
sc = SparkContext(conf=conf)

distFile = sc.textFile('hdfs://{0}:9000/tmp/test/test.csv'.format(HDFS_MASTER))

nonempty_lines = distFile.filter(lambda x: len(x) > 0)
print ('Nonempty lines', nonempty_lines.count())

The command I try at my CMD in the spark directory:

bin\spark-submit --master yarn --deploy-mode cluster --driver-memory 4g
executor-memory 2g --executor-cores 1 examples\sparktest2.py 10

My script is called sparktest2.py in my examples directory in my spark directory.

Logs (stderr):

It seems to be complaining about SPARK_HOME, which I have setup in my environmental variables.

Any help is greatly appreciated

Python version 3.5
Spark Version 2.0.1
OS: Windows 7

Solution

The thing that made it work for me was adding the following at my cmd;

--conf spark.yarn.appMasterEnv.SPARK_HOME=/dev/null
--conf spark.executorEnv.SPARK_HOME=/dev/null
--files pythonscript.py
