             Summary: Why do my Spark 3 jobs fail to use external shuffle 
service on YARN?
                 Key: SPARK-33093
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-33093
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Question
          Components: Deploy, Java API
    Affects Versions: 3.0.0
            Reporter: Julien


We are running a Spark-on-YARN setup, where each client uploads their own Spark 
JARs for their job, to run in YARN executors. YARN exposes a shuffle service on 
every NodeManager's 7337 port, and clients enable use of that.

This has worked for a while, with clients using Spark 2 JARs, but we are seeing 
issues when clients attempt to use Spark 3 JAR. When shuffling is either 
disabled, or enabled but no use of the shuffle service is made, things seems to 
continue working in Spark 3.

When a Spark 3 job attempts to use the external service, we get a stack-trace 
that looks like this:
{noformat}java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unknown message type: 10

Message type 10 was introduced as of SPARK-27651, released in Spark 3.0.0; this 
error hints at an older version of 
{{BlockTransferMessage$Decoder.fromByteBuffer}} being used.

{{ExternalShuffleBlockHandler}} was renamed to {{ExternalBlockHandler}} as of 
SPARK-28593, also released in Spark 3.0.0; this stack-trace hints at an older 
JAR being loaded.

Our current Hadoop setup (Cloudera CDH parcels) is very likely to be polluting 
the class-path with older JARs. Trying to figure out where the old JARs come 
from, I added {{-verbose:class}} to the executor options, to log all class 
loading.

This is where things get interesting: there is no mention of the old 
{{ExternalShuffleBlockHandler}} class anywhere, and 
{{BlockTransferMessage$Decoder}} is reported as loaded from the Spark 3 JARs:
{noformat}grep -E 
'org.apache.spark.network.shuffle.protocol.BlockTransferMessage|org.apache.spark.network.shuffle.ExternalShuffleBlockHandler|org.apache.spark.network.server.TransportRequestHandler|org.apache.spark.network.server.TransportChannelHandler|org.apache.spark.network.shuffle.ExternalBlockHandler'

org.apache.spark.network.server.TransportRequestHandler$$Lambda$666/376989599

I do not know how this is possible:
- is the executor reporting a stack-trace that comes from another process 
rather than itself?
- are old classes loaded without being reported by {{-verbose:class}?

I'm not sure how to investigate this further, as I failed to locate precisely 
how the instance of {{RpcHandler}} is injected into the 
{{TransportRequestHandler}} for my executors.

What am I missing here?
What should I try next?
