Common Errors in Amazon EMR

There are many reasons why a cluster might fail or be slow in processing data. The following sections list the most common issues and suggestions for fixing them.

Topics

• Input and Output Errors
• Permissions Errors

• Streaming Cluster Errors
• Custom JAR Cluster Errors
• Hive Cluster Errors
• VPC Errors
• AWS GovCloud (US-West) Errors

Other Issues

Do you not see the cluster you expect in the Cluster List page or in results returned from ListClusters API?

Check the following:

• The cluster age is less than two months. Amazon EMR preserves metadata information about completed clusters for your reference, at no charge, for two months. The console does not provide a way to delete completed clusters from the console; these are automatically removed for you after two months.

• You have permissions to view the cluster. If the VisibleToAllUsers property is set to false, other users in the same IAM account will not be able to view a cluster.

• You are viewing the correct region.
