[Spark WebUI] Why Is the Native Page of an Application in Spark2x JobHistory Displayed Incorrectly?

Question

Submit a Spark application that contains millions of tasks in a single job. After the application is complete, when I access the native page of the application in JobHistory, the browser waits for a long time before the page is displayed. If the native page cannot be displayed within 10 minutes, "Proxy Error" is displayed.

Answer

When you switch to the native page of an application in JobHistory, JobHistory needs to replay the event logs of the application. If the application contains a large number of event logs, the replay takes a long time and the browser waits for a long time.

When the browser accesses the native page in JobHistory, the httpd proxy is required. The timeout interval of the proxy is 10 minutes. Therefore, if JobHistory cannot parse and return the event logs within 10 minutes, httpd returns the "Proxy Error" message to the browser.

Solution

The local disk caching function is enabled for JobHistory. When an application is accessed, the parsing result of the event logs of the application is cached to the local disk. When the application is accessed for the second time, the response speed is significantly improved. In this case, you only need to wait for a while and access the original link again.
