Installing Spark 2

When you install Spark 2, the following directories are created:

/usr/hdp/current/spark2-client for submitting Spark 2 jobs
/usr/hdp/current/spark2-history for launching Spark 2 master processes, such as the Spark 2 History Server
/usr/hdp/current/spark2-thriftserver for the Spark 2 Thrift Server

To install Spark 2:

Search for Spark 2 in the HDP repo:

For RHEL or CentOS:
yum search spark2
For SLES:
zypper install spark2
For Ubuntu and Debian:
apt-cache spark2

This shows all the versions of Spark 2 available. For example:

spark_<version>_<build>-master.noarch : Server for Spark 2 master
spark_<version>_<build>-python.noarch : Python client for Spark 2
spark_<version>_<build>-worker.noarch : Server for Spark 2 worker
spark_<version>_<build>.noarch : Lightning-Fast Cluster Computing

Install the version corresponding to the HDP version you currently have installed.
- For RHEL or CentOS:
  yum install spark2_<version>-master spark_<version>-python
- For SLES:
  zypper install spark2_<version>-master spark_<version>-python
- For Ubuntu and Debian:
  apt-get install spark2_<version>-master spark_<version>-python
Before you launch the Spark 2 Shell or Thrift Server, make sure that you set $JAVA_HOME:
export JAVA_HOME=<path to JDK 1.8>
Change owner of /var/log/spark2 to spark2:hadoop.
```
chown spark2:hadoop /var/log/spark2
```
