You need to export two variables HADOOP_CONF_DIR and YARN_CONF_DIR to make your configurations file visible to yarn. Use below code in .bashrc file if you are using linux.

export HADOOP_CONF_DIR=$HADOOP_HOME/etc/hadoopexport YARN_CONF_DIR=$HADOOP_HOME/etc/hadoop

In windows you need to set environment variable.

Hope this helps!


If you are running spark using Yarn then you better need to add this to spark-env.sh:

export HADOOP_CONF_DIR=$HADOOP_HOME/etc/hadoop
