Yeah ! Thank you very much Philipp: tonight I explored carefully the source code and discovered the 2 thrift servers stuff.
Therefore I solved my problem: here the solution adopted, which can be useful for other people. CONTEXT I have my Zeppelin Server installation located into a LAN, where a K8s Cluster is available, and I want to submit notes in cluster mode over the k8s Cluster. SOLUTION - the driver pod must have its address exposed on the LAN network, otherwise the Zeppelin server cannot connect to the Interpreter Thrift server: I suppose that there are several ways of doing this, but I am not a k8s expert so I simply created a basic driver-pod.template.yaml with a "hostNetwork" spec and referenced it by the "spark.kubernetes.driver.podTemplateFile" interpreter setting. At this point, the 2 servers can talk each other. NOTE 1) do not set the zeppelin run mode = k8s. It must be "local" (or the default "auto") 2) a NFS share (or other shared persistent volume) is required in order to upload the required JARS and easily access the driver logs when the driver shuts down: spark.kubernetes.driver.volumes.nfs.<whichever name>.options.server=<your server> spark.kubernetes.driver.volumes.nfs.<whichever name>.options.path=<local path> spark.kubernetes.driver.volumes.nfs.<whichever name>.mount.path=<mount path> On 2021/10/28 06:48:54, Philipp Dallig <philipp.dal...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Fabrizio, > > We have two connections.
