Github user kwmonroe commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/bigtop/pull/382 One other thing @buggtb, since this opens a new port, we'll need 10000 listed in layer.yaml: https://github.com/apache/bigtop/blob/master/bigtop-packages/src/charm/spark/layer-spark/layer.yaml#L25 As well as a check for `spark_enable_thriftserver` in the `start` method to know if we should run `hookenv.open_port`, similar to what we do for opening the spark-master-ui port: https://github.com/apache/bigtop/blob/master/bigtop-packages/src/charm/spark/layer-spark/lib/charms/layer/bigtop_spark.py#L377
