Failed to start isolated execution environment

supportvector — Wed, 14 Aug 2024 09:55:21 GMT

Hi, I'm using PySpark to convert images to base64 format. The code works perfectly fine when I run it from any location on cluster. However, when the notebook is part of a GitHub repo hosted on Databricks, I get the following error:

[ISOLATION_STARTUP_FAILURE] Failed to start isolated execution environment. Please contact Databricks support. SQLSTATE: XXKSS

Could someone explain why the code works outside of the repo but fails when run from the GitHub repo on Databricks? Cluster and other things remain same. Its an dev all purpose cluster

below is the base64 conversion code that i am using

def image_to_base64(image_path😞

try:

with open(image_path, "rb") as image_file:

return base64.b64encode(image_file.read()).decode("utf-8")

except Exception as e:

return str(e)
