We have a Big Data class planned and we’d like students to be able to start spark-shell or pyspark as their own user. However the Derby database locks the process from starting as another user:
-rw-r--r-- 1 myuser staff 38 Jun 28 10:40 db.lck And these errors appear: ERROR PoolWatchThread: Error in trying to obtain a connection. Retrying in 7000ms java.sql.SQLException: A read-only user or a user in a read-only database is not permitted to disable read-only mode on a connection. at org.apache.derby.impl.jdbc.SQLExceptionFactory.getSQLException(Unknown Source) at org.apache.derby.impl.jdbc.Util.generateCsSQLException(Unknown Source) at org.apache.derby.impl.jdbc.TransactionResourceImpl.wrapInSQLException(Unknown Source) at org.apache.derby.impl.jdbc.TransactionResourceImpl.handleException(Unknown Source) at org.apache.derby.impl.jdbc.EmbedConnection.handleException(Unknown Source) at org.apache.derby.impl.jdbc.EmbedConnection.setReadOnly(Unknown Source) at com.jolbox.bonecp.ConnectionHandle.setReadOnly(ConnectionHandle.java:1324) at com.jolbox.bonecp.ConnectionHandle.<init>(ConnectionHandle.java:262) at com.jolbox.bonecp.PoolWatchThread.fillConnections(PoolWatchThread.java:115) at com.jolbox.bonecp.PoolWatchThread.run(PoolWatchThread.java:82) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1142) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:617) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:748) Caused by: ERROR 25505: A read-only user or a user in a read-only database is not permitted to disable read-only mode on a connection. at org.apache.derby.iapi.error.StandardException.newException(Unknown Source) at org.apache.derby.iapi.error.StandardException.newException(Unknown Source) at org.apache.derby.impl.sql.conn.GenericAuthorizer.setReadOnlyConnection(Unknown Source) at org.apache.derby.impl.sql.conn.GenericLanguageConnectionContext.setReadOnly(Unknown Source) Is there a work around or best practice for this scenario?
