I have also checked that spark behaves the same way when it is talking directly to HDFS HA:
val s = sc.textFile("hdfs://stanley/tmp/proxy.txt") s.count() (first time error) UnknownHostException (important to assign once again the variable) val s = sc.textFile("hdfs://stanley/tmp/proxy.txt") s.count() res: 5 I guess tachyon is not the guilty one here, Any help appreciated -- View this message in context: http://apache-spark-user-list.1001560.n3.nabble.com/Inconsistent-behavior-when-running-spark-on-top-of-tachyon-on-top-of-HDFS-HA-tp1544p1545.html Sent from the Apache Spark User List mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
