Spark NotSerializableException when overriding log4j logs-CodePudding

I have overriden databricks log4j logs using init script. When my code is trigged it is running fine till some point. when it reaches the below line:

val ds = df.as[MySDMData]

ds.map(a => func1(a)).write.format("delta").mode("overwrite").option("header","true").save(s"${Interimpath}/sdm_outer_java")

it fails with the following stacktrace:

Caused by: Job aborted due to stage failure.

Is this error because of map function. How do I solve this?

CodePudding user response：

Are you adding an instance of org.apache.log4j.Logger to one of your class/case classes? see the below lines in your stacktrace:

Caused by: NotSerializableException: org.apache.log4j.Logger // this type is un-serializable
----
field (class: ..., name: logger, type: class org.apache.log4j.Logger)
                           ^                                   ^

It is trying to serialize the logger, if so, don't do that, logger is not something to serialize and send it somewhere else, loggers belong to a specific scope of your code (they are meant to be specific only to where they're used).

CodePudding user response：

@AminMal , but then how to use import org.apache.log4j.Logger in our scala code?? how to implement logging if we will remove

We are not able to understand how logger is getting serializable ?
