Philipp Angerer commented on SPARK-9636:
----------------------------------------
everything is more obvious than picing a location relative to the binary ;)
and the location is reported anyway since the {{start-master.sh}} script
outputs {{starting org.apache.spark.deploy.master.Master, logging to
/home/<user>/.cache/spark-logs/spark-<user>-org.apache.spark.deploy.master.Master-1-<hostname>.out}}
about write permissions, mind that i suggest testing them sequentially until
one is found that can be written to. that’s IMHO a more sensible default than
failing, and having to {{grep -i 'log' $SPARK_HOME/sbin/*.sh}} to find that an
environment variable exists, and then retrying with that variable set.
> Treat $SPARK_HOME as write-only

> Key: SPARK-9636
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-9636
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Input/Output
> Affects Versions: 1.4.1
> Environment: Linux
> Reporter: Philipp Angerer
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: easyfix
>
> when starting spark scripts as user and it is installed in a directory the
> user has no write permissions on, many things work fine, except for the logs
> (e.g. for {{start-master.sh}})
> logs are per default written to {{$SPARK_LOG_DIR}} or (if unset) to
> {{$SPARK_HOME/logs}}.
> if installed in this way, it should, instead of throwing an error, write logs
> to {{/var/log/spark/}}. that’s easy to fix by simply testing a few log dirs
> in sequence for writability before trying to use one. i suggest using
> {{$SPARK_LOG_DIR}} (if set) → {{/var/log/spark/}} → {{~/.cache/spark-logs/}}
> → {{$SPARK_HOME/logs/}}
