Tableau desktop crashes while connecting to sparksql

Sathish Subramaniam Feb 7, 2018 8:24 AM

I am trying to connect tableau to sparksql in desktop.

The dashboard loads in some cases, but often cases, the tableau desktop crashes completely abruptly.

I checked the sparksql logs and it has no error.

I followed this doc(A Guide to Setting up Tableau with Apache Spark ) and installed the simba driver in my mac.

I also referenced (Tableau Spark SQL Connector Demo - YouTube ) everything went fine, but i am not sure why tableau desktop crashes.

A simple table loads, but when loading full dashboard of 4 sheets it crashes.

Can you guys please suggest what can be done here.

Is it related to memory issue of tableau desktop running in my local mac or something else.

Please suggest.

Did Tableau prompt you to send the crash report in? I would contact support to have them review the crash report.

It would also be useful to review the tail end of the logs. Support can do that with you too.

Thanks,
Dan

Can you please help me on the configuration part ? I am also trying to connect spark sql from tableau but not able to connect error. I have spark on my cloudera vm. How should I find the server name and port which I need to put in tableau.
Also, do we need to enable thrift server in any configuration file in order to make it work ?
