Thank you!
I tried again setting locale options in different ways but doesn’t propagate to
the JVM. I tested these strategies (alone and all together):
- bin/spark-submit --conf "spark.executor.extraJavaOptions=-Duser.language=en
-Duser.region=US -Duser.country=US -Duser.timezone=GMT” test.py
- spark = SparkSession \
.builder \
.appName("My app") \
.config("spark.executor.extraJavaOptions", "-Duser.language=en
-Duser.region=US -Duser.country=US -Duser.timezone=GMT") \
.config("user.country", "US") \
.config("user.region", "US") \
.config("user.language", "en") \
.config("user.timezone", "GMT") \
.config("-Duser.country", "US") \
.config("-Duser.region", "US") \
.config("-Duser.language", "en") \
.config("-Duser.timezone", "GMT") \
.getOrCreate()
- export JAVA_OPTS="-Duser.language=en -Duser.region=US -Duser.country=US
-Duser.timezone=GMT”
- export LANG="en_US.UTF-8”
After running export LANG="en_US.UTF-8” from the same terminal session I use to
launch spark-submit, if I run locale command I get correct values:
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
While running my pyspark script, from the Spark UI, under Environment -> Spark
Properties the locale appear to be correctly set:
- user.country: US
- user.language: en
- user.region: US
- user.timezone: GMT
but Environment -> System Properties still reports the System locale and not
the session locale I previously set:
- user.country: IT
- user.language: it
- user.timezone: Europe/Rome
Am I wrong or the options don’t propagate to the JVM correctly?
