I am struggling for more than 2 days now with the following problem.

I wrote a basic "HelloWorld" script in Scala:

```
object Hello extends App{
  println("WELCOME TO A FIRST TEST WITH SCALA COMPILED WITH SBT counting fr. 1:15 with sleep 1")
  val data = 1 to 15

  for( a <- data ){
    println( "Value of a: " + a )
    Thread sleep 1000
  }

```

That I then compiled with SBT in order to get a JAR compiled version.

I transferred then everything on a cluster (which is Horthonworks sandbox running on a virtual Linux machine) with HDP 2.2.4.2.

I am actually able to run the job with the following command on the cluster using a yarn-client:

```
spark-submit --verbose --master yarn-client --class Hello SCALA/hello.jar

```

However, while trying to submit the same helloWorld job on a yarn-cluster with the following command

```
spark-submit --verbose --master yarn-cluster--class Hello SCALA/hello.jar

```

The job first run properly (the outputs are the one expected, and it exits 0) but then the job stop with the following:

```

```

I decided then to check the log with the following command-line:

```
yarn logs -applicationId application_1433491352951_00010

```

And I get:

I took the *HelloWorld* project that someone suggested, recompiled, and tried again. Now I got another problem: when I submit the task with the following command:

```
spark-submit --verbose --master yarn-cluster SCALA/hello.jar

```

I get the following comments running to infinity:

```
15/06/08 16:42:35 INFO Client: Retrying connect to server: 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0:8032. Already tried 9 time(s); retry policy is RetryUpToMaximumCountWithFixedSleep(maxRetries=10, sleepTime=1000 MILLISECONDS)

```

I don't really understand since it looks like the server is not responding while the program is supposed to run on the Hadoop cluster from the sandbox.
