Unable to run spark-shell remotely, getting "Failed to connect to master"

Hi

I am trying to setup a remote connection to a datastax cluster with the spark-sell. When I try to access to the spark shell on a node of my cluster the command with the command :

dse -u cassandra -p xxx spark

Everything works fine.However when I try remotely with the command:

${SPARK_HOME}/bin/spark-shell --packages com.datastax.spark:spark-cassandra-connector_2.11:2.3.0 --conf spark.cassandra.connection.host=172.17.4.253 --conf spark.cassandra.auth.username=cassandra --conf spark.cassandra.auth.password=xxxxxx --master spark://172.17.4.253:7077

I get a connexion refused: Failed to connect to master.

Do you have a standalone Spark cluster? It seams like you are trying to use a standalone Spark cluster to connect to DSE. You need to specify the correct master address. 172.17.4.253 is probably not what you want, as judging by your command, this is where DSE (and DSE Spark) lives.

Hello Jaroslaw,

No I don't have a standalone Spark cluster, I use the DSE Spark. The master address seems fine to me when I use the dse command line to access the spark shell everything works great.

dse spark --master  spark://172.17.4.253:7077

Moreover when I tried to connect to random address I get the traditional error message: "Connection refused"

Caused by: io.netty.channel.AbstractChannel$AnnotatedConnectException: Connection refused

Instead when I try to connect to the DSE spark master I get "a connection failled" error
