Here is related problem: http://apache-spark-user-list.1001560.n3.nabble.com/Launching-history-server-problem-td12574.html
but no answer. What I'm trying to do: wrap spark-history with /etc/init.d script Problems I have: can't make it read spark-defaults.conf I've put this file here: /etc/spark/conf /usr/lib/spark/conf where /usr/lib/spark is locaition for spark no luck. spark-history tries to use default value for applications log location, it doesn't read specified value from spark-defaults.conf
