Spark : multiple spark-submit in parallel

Question

I have a generic question about Apache Spark :

We have some spark streaming scripts that consume Kafka messages. Problem : they are failing randomly without a specific error...

Some script does nothing while they are working when I run them manually, one is failing with this message :

ERROR SparkUI: Failed to bind SparkUI java.net.BindException: Address already in use: Service 'SparkUI' failed after 16 retries!

So I'm wondering if there is maybe a specific way to run the scripts in parallel ?

They are all in the same jar and I run them with Supervisor. Spark is installed on Cloudera Manager 5.4 on Yarn.

Here is how I launch a script :

sudo -u spark spark-submit --class org.soprism.kafka.connector.reader.TwitterPostsMessageWriter /home/soprism/sparkmigration/data-migration-assembly-1.0.jar --master yarn-cluster --deploy-mode client

Thanks for your help !

Update : I changed the command and now run this (it stops with now specific message) :

root@ns6512097:~# sudo -u spark spark-submit --class org.soprism.kafka.connector.reader.TwitterPostsMessageWriter --master yarn --deploy-mode client /home/soprism/sparkmigration/data-migration-assembly-1.0.jar

This issue occurs if multiple users tries to start spark session at the same time or existing spark session are not property closed

There are two ways to fix this issue.

• Start new spark session on a different port as follow

  spark-submit --conf spark.ui.port=5051 <other arguments>`<br>`spark-shell --conf spark.ui.port=5051
  

• Find all spark session using ports from 4041 to 4056 and kill process using kill command, netstat and kill command can be used to find process which are occupying the port and kill the process respectively. Here's the usage:

  sudo netstat -tunalp | grep LISTEN| grep 4041
  

Above command will produce output as below, last column is process id, in this case PID is 32028

tcp        0      0 :::4040    :::*         LISTEN      32028/java

Once you find out the process id(PID) you can kill the spark process(spark-shell or spark-submit) using the below command

sudo kill -9 32028
