"Bad substitution" when submitting spark job to yarn-cluster

apache-spark yarn

I am doing a smoke test against a yarn cluster using yarn-cluster as the master with the SparkPi example program. Here is the command line:

  $SPARK_HOME/bin/spark-submit --master yarn-cluster 
 --executor-memory 8G --executor-cores 240 --class org.apache.spark.examples.SparkPi

examples/target/scala-2.11/spark-examples-1.4.1-hadoop2.7.1.jar

The yarn accepts the job but then complains about a "bad substitution". Maybe it is on the hdp.version ??

Of note here is:

/usr/hdp/${hdp.version}/hadoop/lib/hadoop-lzo-.6.0.${hdp.version}.jar:
/etc/hadoop/conf/secure: bad substitution

The "sh" is linked to bash:

$ ll /bin/sh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Sep  1 05:48 /bin/sh -> bash

It is caused by hdp.version not getting substituted correctly. You have to set hdp.version in the file java-opts under $SPARK_HOME/conf.

And you have to set 

spark.driver.extraJavaOptions -Dhdp.version=XXX 
spark.yarn.am.extraJavaOptions -Dhdp.version=XXX

in spark-defaults.conf under $SPARK_HOME/conf where XXX is the version of hdp.
