Spark Streaming, kafka: java.lang.StackOverflowError - scala

Question

I am getting below error in spark-streaming application, i am using kafka for input stream. When i was doing with socket, it was working fine. But when i changed to kafka it's giving error. Anyone has idea why it's throwing error, do i need to change my batch time and check pointing time?
ERROR StreamingContext: Error starting the context, marking it as stopped
java.lang.StackOverflowError
My program:
def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
// Function to create and setup a new StreamingContext
def functionToCreateContext(): StreamingContext = {
val conf = new SparkConf().setAppName("HBaseStream")
val sc = new SparkContext(conf)
// create a StreamingContext, the main entry point for all streaming functionality
val ssc = new StreamingContext(sc, Seconds(5))
val brokers = args(0)
val topics= args(1)
val topicsSet = topics.split(",").toSet
val kafkaParams = Map[String, String]("metadata.broker.list" -> brokers)
val messages = KafkaUtils.createDirectStream[String, String, StringDecoder, StringDecoder](
ssc, kafkaParams, topicsSet)
val inputStream = messages.map(_._2)
// val inputStream = ssc.socketTextStream(args(0), args(1).toInt)
ssc.checkpoint(checkpointDirectory)
inputStream.print(1)
val parsedStream = inputStream
.map(line => {
val splitLines = line.split(",")
(splitLines(1), splitLines.slice(2, splitLines.length).map((_.trim.toLong)))
})
import breeze.linalg.{DenseVector => BDV}
import scala.util.Try
val state: DStream[(String, Array[Long])] = parsedStream.updateStateByKey(
(current: Seq[Array[Long]], prev: Option[Array[Long]]) => {
prev.map(_ +: current).orElse(Some(current))
.flatMap(as => Try(as.map(BDV(_)).reduce(_ + _).toArray).toOption)
})
state.checkpoint(Duration(10000))
state.foreachRDD(rdd => rdd.foreach(Blaher.blah))
ssc
}
// Get StreamingContext from checkpoint data or create a new one
val context = StreamingContext.getOrCreate(checkpointDirectory, functionToCreateContext _)
}
}

Try to delete the checkpoint directory.
I'm not sure but it seems that your streaming context fails to restore from the checkpoints.
anyway, it worked for me.
