Spark Streaming "ERROR JobScheduler: error in job generator"

Question

I build a spark Streaming application to keep receiving messages from Kafka and then write them into a table HBase.

This app runs pretty good for first 25 mins. When I input KV pairs like 1;name1, 2;name2 in Kafka-console-producer, they are able to be saved in Hbase Table:

ROW       COLUMN+CELL

 1        column=cf1:column-Name, timestamp=1471905340560, value=name1

 2        column=cf1:column-Name, timestamp=1471905348165, value=name2

But after about 25 mins, my app stops with error ERROR JobSchedular: ERROR in job generator. Details of this error are shown below:

It runs well in first 25 mins, but after that for some reason I dont know, it seems that job generator suddenly cannot be instantiated correctly.

My codes are shown below:

  case class SampleKafkaRecord(id: String, name: String)
  object SampleKafkaRecord extends Serializable {
    def parseToSampleRecord(line: String): SampleKafkaRecord = {
      val values = line.split(";")
      SampleKafkaRecord(values(0), values(1))
    }

    def SampleToHbasePut(CSVData: SampleKafkaRecord): (ImmutableBytesWritable, Put) = {
      val rowKey = CSVData.id
      val putOnce = new Put(rowKey.getBytes)

      putOnce.addColumn("cf1".getBytes, "column-Name".getBytes, CSVData.name.getBytes)
      return (new ImmutableBytesWritable(rowKey.getBytes), putOnce)
    }
  }


  def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
    val sparkConf = new SparkConf().setAppName("ReceiveKafkaAsDstream")
    val ssc = new StreamingContext(sparkConf, Seconds(1))

    val topics = "test"
    val brokers = "10.0.2.15:6667"

    val topicSet = topics.split(",").toSet
    val kafkaParams = Map[String, String]("metadata.broker.list" -> brokers,
        "zookeeper.connection.timeout.ms" -> "1000")

    val messages = KafkaUtils.createDirectStream[String, String, StringDecoder, StringDecoder](ssc, kafkaParams, topicSet)

    val tableName = "KafkaTable"
    val conf = HBaseConfiguration.create()
    conf.set(TableOutputFormat.OUTPUT_TABLE, tableName)
    conf.set("zookeeper.znode.parent", "/hbase-unsecure")
    conf.set("hbase.zookeeper.property.clientPort", "2181")

    val job = Job.getInstance(conf)
    job.setOutputKeyClass(classOf[Text])
    job.setOutputValueClass(classOf[Text])
    job.setOutputFormatClass(classOf[TableOutputFormat[Text]])

    val records = messages
      .map(_._2)
      .map(SampleKafkaRecord.parseToSampleRecord)

    records
      .foreachRDD{ rdd => {
        rdd.map(SampleKafkaRecord.SampleToHbasePut).saveAsNewAPIHadoopDataset(job.getConfiguration) }
      }
    records.print()  

    ssc.start()
    ssc.awaitTermination()
  }
}

I feel like it is a configuration problem. Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

I added a property called zookeeper.session.timeout.ms by adding code:

val kafkaParams = Map[String, String]("metadata.broker.list" -> brokers,
    "zookeeper.connect" -> xxxxxx:2181",
    "zookeeper.connection.timeout.ms" -> "10000",
    "zookeeper.session.timeout.ms" -> "10000")

and set interval of spark streaming as 10 seconds. By doing this, my spark streaming application can keep running for a long time.

But when I check memory, it is still keep decreasing and I dont know how to solve this problem.

Answer 2

It is highly possible that the clock synchronization problem. Try to enable NTP to ensure all cluster nodes are synced to the same time.
