Hi Ted, Not sure what's the config value, I'm using s3n filesystem and not s3.
The error that I get is the following: (so does that mean it's 4 retries?) Caused by: org.apache.spark.SparkException: Job aborted due to stage failure: Task 2 in stage 0.0 failed 4 times, most recent failure: Lost task 2.3 in stage 0.0 (TID 11, ip.ec2.internal): java.net.UnknownHostException: mybucket.s3.amazonaws.com at java.net.AbstractPlainSocketImpl.connect(AbstractPlainSocketImpl.java:178) at java.net.SocksSocketImpl.connect(SocksSocketImpl.java:392) at java.net.Socket.connect(Socket.java:579) at sun.security.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.connect(SSLSocketImpl.java:618) at sun.security.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.<init>(SSLSocketImpl.java:451) at sun.security.ssl.SSLSocketFactoryImpl.createSocket(SSLSocketFactoryImpl.java:140) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.protocol.SSLProtocolSocketFactory.createSocket(SSLProtocolSocketFactory.java:82) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.protocol.ControllerThreadSocketFactory$1.doit(ControllerThreadSocketFactory.java:91) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.protocol.ControllerThreadSocketFactory$SocketTask.run(ControllerThreadSocketFactory.java:158) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745) *Romi Kuntsman*, *Big Data Engineer* http://www.totango.com On Wed, Apr 1, 2015 at 6:46 PM, Ted Yu <yuzhih...@gmail.com> wrote: > bq. writing the output (to Amazon S3) failed > > What's the value of "fs.s3.maxRetries" ? > Increasing the value should help. > > Cheers > > On Wed, Apr 1, 2015 at 8:34 AM, Romi Kuntsman <r...@totango.com> wrote: > >> What about communication errors and not corrupted files? >> Both when reading input and when writing output. >> We currently experience a failure of the entire process, if the last stage >> of writing the output (to Amazon S3) failed because of a very temporary >> DNS >> resolution issue (easily resolved by retrying). >> >> *Romi Kuntsman*, *Big Data Engineer* >> >> http://www.totango.com >> >> On Wed, Apr 1, 2015 at 12:58 PM, Gil Vernik <g...@il.ibm.com> wrote: >> >> > I actually saw the same issue, where we analyzed some container with few >> > hundreds of GBs zip files - one was corrupted and Spark exit with >> > Exception on the entire job. >> > I like SPARK-6593, since it can cover also additional cases, not just >> in >> > case of corrupted zip files. >> > >> > >> > >> > From: Dale Richardson <dale...@hotmail.com> >> > To: "dev@spark.apache.org" <dev@spark.apache.org> >> > Date: 29/03/2015 11:48 PM >> > Subject: One corrupt gzip in a directory of 100s >> > >> > >> > >> > Recently had an incident reported to me where somebody was analysing a >> > directory of gzipped log files, and was struggling to load them into >> spark >> > because one of the files was corrupted - calling >> > sc.textFiles('hdfs:///logs/*.gz') caused an IOException on the >> particular >> > executor that was reading that file, which caused the entire job to be >> > cancelled after the retry count was exceeded, without any way of >> catching >> > and recovering from the error.
