<p>I have a very simple Spark job, but I can't get it to work in Kubernetes. The error I get is:</p>

<pre><code>&gt;     19/10/03 14:59:51 WARN DependencyUtils: Local jar /opt/spark/work-dir/target/scala-2.11/ScalaTest-assembly-1.0.jar does

</code></pre>

<p><strong><code>Dockerfile</code></strong> This is just a wrapper image based on the one built from the kubernetes folder within Spark binaries. Before building this image I make sure I run <strong><code>sbt assembly</code></strong>, which generates the Uber jar.</p>

<pre><code>FROM spark:latest

WORKDIR /opt/spark/work-dir

COPY target/scala-2.11/ScalaTest-assembly-1.0.jar target/scala-2.11/ScalaTest-assembly-1.0.jar
</code></pre>

<p><strong><code>build.sbt</code></strong></p>

<pre><code>name := "ScalaTest"

version := "1.0"

scalaVersion := "2.11.12"

val sparkVersion = "2.4.4"

libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
    "org.apache.spark" % "spark-core_2.11" % sparkVersion % "provided",
    "org.apache.spark" % "spark-sql_2.11" % sparkVersion % "provided"
)
</code></pre>

<p>Finally my <strong><code>spark-submit</code></strong>. Before I do this I pushed the image to ECR's registry, so EKS can pull that image. I also point to the location of the uber jar <strong>within</strong> my image.</p>

<pre><code>~/spark-2.4.4-bin-hadoop2.7/bin/spark-submit \
    --master k8s://{K8S_ENDPOINT}:443 \
    --deploy-mode cluster \
    --name test-job \
    --conf spark.kubernetes.container.image={ECR_IMAGE}:latest \
    --conf spark.kubernetes.submission.waitAppCompletion=false \
    --conf spark.kubernetes.authenticate.driver.serviceAccountName=spark \
    --conf spark.kubernetes.driver.pod.name=test-job \
    --class ScalaTest \
    local:///opt/spark/work-dir/target/scala-2.11/ScalaTest-assembly-1.0.jar
</code></pre>

<p>Also note, when I run the command below (spark-submit within my container, locally) it works as expected:</p>

<pre><code>docker run --rm -it my-custom-image ../bin/spark-submit target/scala-2.11/ScalaTest-assembly-1.0.jar
</code></pre>

<p><strong>UPDATE</strong>
Inspecting the assembled uber jar, I can see ScalaTest's class is there.</p>

<pre><code>jar tf target/scala-2.11/ScalaTest-assembly-1.0.jar

...
ScalaTest$.class
ScalaTest.class
...
</code></pre>

Victor
<p>The solution to this is to leave the jar not in the working dir but in the jars folders. I haven't looked at the docs but probably this is an environment variable that can be changed. In any case, the Dockerfile should look like this:</p>

<pre><code>FROM spark:latest

COPY target/scala-2.11/ScalaTest-assembly-1.0.jar /ops/spark/jars/ScalaTest-assembly-1.0.jar
</code></pre>

<p>And then change the <code>spark-submit</code> accordingly:</p>

<pre><code>~/spark-2.4.4-bin-hadoop2.7/bin/spark-submit \
    --master k8s://{K8S_ENDPOINT}:443 \
    --deploy-mode cluster \
    --name test-job \
    --conf spark.kubernetes.container.image={ECR_IMAGE}:latest \
    --conf spark.kubernetes.submission.waitAppCompletion=false \
    --conf spark.kubernetes.authenticate.driver.serviceAccountName=spark \
    --conf spark.kubernetes.driver.pod.name=test-job \
    --class ScalaTest \
    local:///opt/spark/jars/ScalaTest-assembly-1.0.jar
</code></pre>
