> when starting spark scripts as user and it is installed in a directory the user has no write permissions on, many things work fine, except for the logs (e.g. for {{start-master.sh}})
> logs are per default written to {{$SPARK_LOG_DIR}} or (if unset) to {{$SPARK_HOME/logs}}.
> if installed in this way, it should, instead of throwing an error, write logs to {{/var/log/spark/}}. that’s easy to fix by simply testing a few log dirs in sequence for writability before trying to use one. i suggest using {{$SPARK_LOG_DIR}} (if set) → {{/var/log/spark/}} → {{~/.cache/spark-logs/}} → {{$SPARK_HOME/logs/}}
