Exception Hadoop security GroupMappingServiceProvider I have received this exception for running Spark job via Dataproc API

Question

I am trying to run a Spark Job on a Google Data Proc cluster and I got the following Error.

Dataproc versions: 1.1.51 and 1.2.15

Job configuration:

Region: global 
Cluster my-cluster 
Job type: Spark
Jar files: gs://bucket/jars/spark-job.jar
Main class or jar: spark.Main
Arguments: 
Properties: 
spark.driver.extraClassPath: /path/to/google-api-client-1.20.0.jar
spark.driver.userClassPathFirst: true

I have no problem running it this way on the command line:

spark-submit --conf "spark.driver.extraClassPath=/path/to/google-api-client-1.20.0.jar" --conf "spark.driver.userClassPathFirst=true" --class spark.Main /path/to/spark-job.jar

But the UI/API does not allow you to pass both the class name and jar, so it looks like this instead:

spark-submit --conf spark.driver.extraClassPath=/path/to/google-api-client-1.20.0.jar --conf spark.driver.userClassPathFirst=true --class spark.Main --jars /tmp/1f4d5289-37af-4311-9ccc-5eee34acaf62/spark-job.jar /usr/lib/hadoop/hadoop-common.jar

I can't figure out if it is a problem with providing the extraClassPath or if the spark-job.jar and the Hadoop-common.jar are somehow conflicting.

Please help me out to solve this error.

Answer 1

 I hope I understood your issue and this solution works,

If you wish to keep your Spark driver on, then try this.

spark.driver.userClassPathFirst=true 

You could check that

 "org.apache.spark" %% "spark-core" % SPARK_VERSION 

dependency is present and scope is defined correctly. 

When the spark-core jar is in classpath exception won't have been thrown.
