Class com.hadoop.compression.lzo.LzoCodec not found for Spark on CDH 5?

Question

I have been working on this problem for two days and still have not find the way.

Problem: Our Spark installed via newest CDH 5 always complains abo

Answer 1

I just had the same error in my Cloudera 5 installation. In my case it was GPLEXTRAS parcel which was installed, distributed but not activated.

On Cloudera Manager -> Hosts -> Parcels I pressed on filters clear everywhere, then I was able to press the Activate on the GPLEXTRAS parcess that was previously distributed already.

That was enough to fix my issue.
