Spark SQL on Google Compute Engine issue - hadoop

Question

We are using bdutil 1.1 to deploy a Spark (1.2.0) cluster. However, we are having an issue when we launch our spark script:
py4j.protocol.Py4JJavaError: An error occurred while calling o70.registerTempTable.

Caused by: javax.jdo.JDOFatalUserException: Class org.datanucleus.api.jdo.JDOPersistenceManagerFactory was not found.
The script works on my laptop. I have datanucleus-api-jdo-3.2.6.jar in the /home/hadoop/spark-install/lib path.
Any ideas of what could be wrong?

Answer 1

I needed to add :
SPARK_CLASSPATH=/home/hadoop/spark-install/lib/datanucleus-api-jdo-3.2.6.jar:/home/hadoop/spark-install/lib/datanucleus-core-3.2.10.jar:/home/hadoop/spark-install/lib/datanucleus-rdbms-3.2.9.jar
before my spark-submit command:
SPARK_CLASSPATH=/home/hadoop/spark-install/lib/datanucleus-api-jdo-3.2.6.jar:/home/hadoop/spark-install/lib/datanucleus-core-3.2.10.jar:/home/hadoop/spark-install/lib/datanucleus-rdbms-3.2.9.jar ../hadoop/spark-install/bin/spark-submit main.py --master spark://spark-m:7077
