Hello,
I'm new in Livy, and I have this problem. When I run a batch job like this: curl -X POST --data '{"file": "/user/spark/program.jar", "className": "my.program"}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" LIVY-HOST:8998/batches The program keeps runing for ever. Searching in the logs I found the reason: 17/07/25 14:21:46 ERROR yarn.ApplicationMaster: User class threw exception: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space So in order to solve this issue I increased the executor and driver memory: "driverMemory":"15g","executorMemory":"15g". But I still seen this error. So I tried running this job directly using spark-submit and it worked perfectly, no memory error. spark-submit --class my.program --deploy-mode cluster --conf spark.master=yarn hdfs://HDFS_NN:8020/user/spark/program.jar I'm using Livy 0.4.0-SNAPSHOT on Spark 2.1.0.
