Submit Spark Application on Kubernetes in Cluster mode : Configured service account doesn't have access

Question

I try to submit a Spark application to a Kubernetes cluster (Minikube). When running my spark submit in client mode, everything goes well. 3 executors are created in 3 pods, and the code is executed. Here is my submit command :

[MY_PATH]/bin/spark-submit \
   --master k8s://https://[API_SERVER_IP]:8443 \
   --deploy-mode client \
   --name [Name] \
   --class [MyClass] \
   --conf spark.kubernetes.container.image=spark:2.4.0 \
   --conf spark.executor.instances=3 \
   [PATH/TO/MY/JAR].jar

Now, I adapted it to run in cluster mode :

[MY_PATH]/bin/spark-submit \
   --master k8s://https://[API_SERVER_IP]:8443 \
   --deploy-mode cluster \
   --name [Name] \
   --class [MyClass] \
   --conf spark.kubernetes.container.image=spark:2.4.0 \
   --conf spark.executor.instances=3 \
   local://[PATH/TO/MY/JAR].jar

This time, a driver pod is created as well as a driver service, and then the driver pod fail. On the Kubernetes I can see the following error :

MountVolume.SetUp failed for volume "spark-conf-volume" : configmap "sparkpi-1555314081444-driver-conf-map" not found

And in the pod logs I have the error :

Forbidden!Configured service account doesn't have access. 
Service account may have been revoked. 
pods "sparkpi-1555314081444-driver" is forbidden: User "system:serviceaccount:default:default" cannot get resource "pods" in API group "" in the namespace "default".

Here is the full stacktrace :

What should I do to make it work ?

Can you share the manifests you are using for deploying your application? — Esteban Garcia

You have to create an authorized service account: https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/running-on-kubernetes.html#rbac

kubectl create serviceaccount spark
kubectl create clusterrolebinding spark-role --clusterrole=edit --serviceaccount=default:spark --namespace=default

And then pass it as a parameter to the submit

--conf spark.kubernetes.authenticate.driver.serviceAccountName=spark
