I'm trying to start a spark jobserver, here are the steps I'm following:
- I configure the local.sh based on the template.
- Then I run ./bin/server_deploy.sh and it finishes without any error.
- Configure local.conf.
- Run ./bin/server_start.sh in the deploy server.
But when I do the last step I get the following error:
Error: Exception thrown by the agent : java.lang.NullPointerException
Note: I'm using spark 1.4.1. I'm using version 0.5.2 from jobserver (https://github.com/spark-jobserver/spark-jobserver/tree/v0.5.2)
Any idea in how I can fix this (or at least debug it).
Thanks
The error log does not provide much information.
I encountered the same error. For my case, I had another instance of the JobServer running (and somehow ./bin/server_stop.sh did not catch it). It works after I manually killed the other process.
Hint : Error: Exception thrown by the agent : java.lang.NullPointerException when starting Java application
