spark submit pyspark script on yarn throwing maximum recursion depth exceeded

Question

I am able to submit org.apache.spark.examples.SparkPi example jar on spark submit yarn-cluster mode and it succeeds, however below snippet in pyspark fails with maximum recursion depth exceeded error.

spark-submit --master yarn --deploy-mode cluster --executor-memory 1G --num-executors 4 --conf spark.yarn.appMasterEnv.PYSPARK_PYTHON="/usr/bin/python2.7" test.py --verbose

I added pyspark_python env as per suggestion from Pyspark on yarn-cluster mode

test.py

from pyspark import SparkContext
from pyspark.sql import HiveContext

sc_new = SparkContext()
SQLContext = HiveContext(sc_new)
SQLContext.setConf("spark.sql.hive.convertMetastoreOrc", "false")
txt = SQLContext.sql( "SELECT 1")
txt.show(2000000, False)

How to fix this?

by calling txt.show(2000000, False) you are making py4j to make to-and-fro jvm-python-object-jvm call where your result does not have those many rows. I believe max you can call in show() is 2000-ish. Why you need to show 2000000 records when all you are doing is SELECT 1 ?
