Hi, When I run jobs and save the event logs, they are saved with the permissions of the unix user and group that ran the spark job. The history server is run as a service account and therefore can’t read the files:
Extract from the History server logs: 2015-01-07 15:37:24,3021 ERROR Client fs/client/fileclient/cc/client.cc:1009 Thread: 1183 User does not have access to open file /apps/spark/historyserver/logs/spark-1420644521194 15/01/07 15:37:24 ERROR ReplayListenerBus: Exception in parsing Spark event log /apps/spark/historyserver/logs/spark-1420644521194/EVENT_LOG_1 org.apache.hadoop.security.AccessControlException: Open failed for file: /apps/spark/historyserver/logs/spark-1420644521194/EVENT_LOG_1, error: Permission denied (13) Is there a setting which I can change that allows the files to be world readable or at least by the account running the history server? Currently, the job appears in the History Sever UI but only states ‘<Not Started>’.
