> As reported on StackOverflow in [Why does Spark on YARN fail with “Exception in thread ”Driver“ java.lang.NullPointerException”?|https://stackoverflow.com/q/49564334/1305344] the following Spark application fails with {{Exception in thread "Driver" java.lang.NullPointerException}} with Spark on YARN in cluster deploy mode:
> {code}
> class MyClass {
>   def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
>     val c = new MyClass()
>     c.process()
>   }
>   def process(): Unit = {
>     val sparkConf = new SparkConf().setAppName("my-test")
>     val sparkSession: SparkSession = SparkSession.builder().config(sparkConf).getOrCreate()
>     import sparkSession.implicits._
>     ....
>   }
>   ...
> }
> {code}
> The exception is as follows:
> {code}
> 18/03/29 20:07:52 INFO ApplicationMaster: Starting the user application in a separate Thread
> 18/03/29 20:07:52 INFO ApplicationMaster: Waiting for spark context initialization...
> Exception in thread "Driver" java.lang.NullPointerException
>     at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method)
>     at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:62)
>     at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43)
>     at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:498)
>     at org.apache.spark.deploy.yarn.ApplicationMaster$$anon$2.run(ApplicationMaster.scala:637)
> {code}
> I think the reason for the exception {{Exception in thread "Driver" java.lang.NullPointerException}} is due to [the following code|https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/v2.3.0/resource-managers/yarn/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/deploy/yarn/ApplicationMaster.scala#L700-L701]:
> {code}
> val mainMethod = userClassLoader.loadClass(args.userClass)
>   .getMethod("main", classOf[Array[String]])
> {code}
> So when {{mainMethod}} is used in [the following code|https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/v2.3.0/resource-managers/yarn/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/deploy/yarn/ApplicationMaster.scala#L706] it simply gives NPE.
> {code}
> mainMethod.invoke(null, userArgs.toArray)
> {code}
> That could be easily avoided with an extra check if the {{mainMethod}} is initialized and give a user a message what may have been a reason.
