issue Running Spark Job on Yarn Cluster
It can mean a lot of things, for us, we get the similar error message because of unsupported Java class version, and we fixed the problem by deleting the referenced Java class in our project.
Use this command to see the detailed error message:
yarn logs -applicationId application_1424284032717_0066
The command looks correct.
What I've come across is that the "exit code 15" normally indicates a TableNotFound Exception. That usually means there's an error in the code you're submitting.
