Tathagata Das commented on SPARK-5185:
--------------------------------------
I also encountered this for KafkaUtils in Python. I am doing the said
workaround. But we should fix this for the general case.
> pyspark --jars does not add classes to driver class path
> --------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-5185
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-5185
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: PySpark
> Affects Versions: 1.2.0
> Reporter: Uri Laserson
> Assignee: Andrew Or
>
> I have some random class I want access to from an Spark shell, say
> {{com.cloudera.science.throwaway.ThrowAway}}. You can find the specific
> example I used here:
> https://gist.github.com/laserson/e9e3bd265e1c7a896652
> I packaged it as {{throwaway.jar}}.
> If I then run {{bin/spark-shell}} like so:
> {code}
> bin/spark-shell --master local[1] --jars throwaway.jar
> {code}
> I can execute
> {code}
> val a = new com.cloudera.science.throwaway.ThrowAway()
> {code}
> Successfully.
> I now run PySpark like so:
> {code}
> PYSPARK_DRIVER_PYTHON=ipython bin/pyspark --master local[1] --jars
> throwaway.jar
> {code}
> which gives me an error when I try to instantiate the class through Py4J:
> {code}
> In [1]: sc._jvm.com.cloudera.science.throwaway.ThrowAway()
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
> Py4JError Traceback (most recent call last)
> <ipython-input-1-4eedbe023c29> in <module>()
> ----> 1 sc._jvm.com.cloudera.science.throwaway.ThrowAway()
> /Users/laserson/repos/spark/python/lib/py4j-0.8.2.1-src.zip/py4j/java_gateway.py
> in __getattr__(self, name)
> 724 def __getattr__(self, name):
> 725 if name == '__call__':
> --> 726 raise Py4JError('Trying to call a package.')
> 727 new_fqn = self._fqn + '.' + name
> 728 command = REFLECTION_COMMAND_NAME +\
> Py4JError: Trying to call a package.
> {code}
> However, if I explicitly add the {{--driver-class-path}} to add the same jar
> {code}
> PYSPARK_DRIVER_PYTHON=ipython bin/pyspark --master local[1] --jars
> throwaway.jar --driver-class-path throwaway.jar
> {code}
> it works
> {code}
> In [1]: sc._jvm.com.cloudera.science.throwaway.ThrowAway()
> Out[1]: JavaObject id=o18
> {code}
> However, the docs state that {{--jars}} should also set the driver class path.
