Been experiencing this issue only recently where my notebook runs forever without progressing from a cell. When I check the log, the below is shown:
The log just keeps refreshing itself along those lines and nothing moves. This has occured multiple times. Sometimes before running any code in a cell, and others when it's halfway through. Tried restarting the notebook but that has only worked a few times as the problem comes back at random (yes, not the same cell that's causing this each time). It's like Pyspark just decides to stop working but I don't know what's causing it and hence unable to recitfy the issue.
Has anyone else experienced the same?
I get this issue frequently as well. It usually happens when I am using temporary directories. Is that the case with you as well?
Are you referring to the original issue I posted? If yes, then I no longer face this issue, at least not according to my regular job runs nowadays. As for my case, when it occurred, there wasn't any temporary directories involved.
Having the same problem, after numerus refreshes, I see a cursor labeld with my own name as if I were collaborating with somebody. and I can't join a spark session anymore. but only that notebook, saving to a different name works. will try tomorrow again.
