Spark cluster Master IP address not binding to floating IP

Philip O'Brien picture Philip O'Brien · May 12, 2016 · Viewed 16.1k times · Source

I'm trying to configure a Spark cluster using OpenStack. Currently I have two servers named

  • spark-master (IP: 192.x.x.1, floating IP: 87.x.x.1)
  • spark-slave-1 (IP: 192.x.x.2, floating IP: 87.x.x.2)

I am running into problems when trying to use these floating IPs vs the standard public IPs.

On the spark-master machine, the hostname is spark-master and /etc/hosts looks like

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 spark-master

The only change made to spark-env.sh is export SPARK_MASTER_IP='192.x.x.1'. If I run ./sbin/start-master.sh I can view the web UI.

The thing is I view the web UI using the floating IP 87.x.x.1, and there it lists the Master URL: spark://192.x.x.1:7077.

From the slave I can run ./sbin/start-slave.sh spark://192.x.x.1:7077 and it connects successfully.

If I try to use the floating IP by changing spark-env.sh on the master to export SPARK_MASTER_IP='87.x.x.1' then I get the following error log

Obviously the takeaway here for me is the line

Your hostname, spark-master resolves to a loopback address: 127.0.1.1; using 192.x.x.1 instead (on interface eth0) 16/05/12 15:05:33 WARN Utils: Set SPARK_LOCAL_IP if you need to bind to another address

but no matter what approach I then try and take I just run into more errors.

If I set both export SPARK_MASTER_IP='87.x.x.1' and export SPARK_LOCAL_IP='87.x.x.1' and try ./sbin/start-master.sh I get the following error log

This, despite the fact my security group seems correct

ALLOW IPv4 443/tcp from 0.0.0.0/0

I've set a spark cluster (standalone cluster) on Openstack myself and in my /etc/hosts file on the master, I have:

127.0.0.1 localhost

192.168.1.2 spark-master instead of 127.0.0.1

Now, since I have a virtual private network for my master and my slaves, I only work with the private IPs. The only time I use the floating IP is on my host computer when I launch spark-submit --master spark://spark-master (spark-master here resolves to the floating IP). I don't think you need to try to bind the floating IP. I hope that helps!
