Olivier Sannier updated SPARK-23320: ------------------------------------ Description: Under Windows, spark-submit.bat calls spark-class2.cmd which then runs org.apache.spark.launcher.Main to retrieve its output and place it into the SPARK_CMD variable. To do so, it uses a redirection to a temporary file whose name is created with this command: {{set LAUNCHER_OUTPUT=%temp%\spark-class-launcher-output-%RANDOM%.txt}} Note how it uses the %RANDOM% variable to get a hopefully unique name for the file that will get created. There are two issues with this however: # if we have bad luck, we can get the same value RANDOM # bad luck is quite easy to get if we submit numerous jobs at once, because the granularity of RANDOM is based on the current second, as indicated [here|https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20100617-00/?p=13673]. When two concurrent spark-submit calls use the same generated file, one of them fails with a "file is in use" error message. I would thus suggest replacing the above line with these ones: {{rem Because random is based on the current time, second based, it may collide quite easily.}} {{rem To avoid this, we retry until a non existent file name is found and we create that file as soon as possible}} {{set laucher_try_count=5}} {{:retry_launcher}} {{set LAUNCHER_OUTPUT=%temp%\spark-class-launcher-output-%RANDOM%.txt}} {{if not exist "%LAUNCHER_OUTPUT%" goto :launcher_success}} {{set /A laucher_try_count -= 1}} {{if %laucher_try_count% GTR 0 goto :retry_launcher}} {{echo Could not generate a launcher output filename that does not already exists 1>&2}} {{goto :eof}} {{:launcher_success}} {{echo rem > %LAUNCHER_OUTPUT%}} This code has been tried here and effectively solves the issue. was: Under Windows, spark-submit.bat calls spark-class2.cmd which then runs org.apache.spark.launcher.Main to retrieve its output and place it into the SPARK_CMD variable.
