Saprk 1.2.0 | Spark job fails with MetadataFetchFailedException

[Aniket Bhatnagar <an...@gmail.com>]

I have a job that sorts data and runs a combineByKey operation and it
sometimes fails with the following error. The job is running on spark 1.2.0
cluster with yarn-client deployment mode. Any clues on how to debug the
error?

location for shuffle 0
