I have looked through the logs and do not see any WARNING or ERRORs - the executors just seem to stop logging.
I am running Spark 1.5.2 on YARN.

Which release of Spark are you using ?

I am trying to find the best way to remove these duplicates before using the dataframe. With both df.dropDuplicates() and df.sqlContext.sql(‘’’SELECT DISTINCT *…’’’) the application is not able to complete a shuffle stage due to lost executors. Is there a more efficient way to remove these duplicate rows? If not, what settings can I tweak to help this succeed? I have tried both increasing and decreasing the number of default shuffle partitions (to 100 and 500, respectively) but neither changes the behavior. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org<mailto:user-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org> For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@spark.apache.org<mailto:user-h...@spark.apache.org>
