Python library not installed when compute is resized

Hi,

I have a python notebook workflow that uses a job cluster. The cluster lost at least a node (due to Spot Instance Termination) and did an upsize. After that I got an error in my job "Module not found", but the python module was being used before the cluster lost the node. So I guess the library was not installed in the new node. This is the first time it happens in this workflow when a node restarts. The cluster I use has 4 workers.

Any idea what might be going wrong? Thanks !

Hi @Bilel,

How are you doing today?

As per my understanding, Consider installing the library at the cluster level to ensure it's automatically applied across all nodes when a new one is added. You could also try using init scripts to guarantee the required libraries are installed on every node during cluster start or scale-up. It's worth checking your Spot instance and autoscaling settings to ensure they are optimized for stability. If you install libraries via notebook commands, consider reapplying them when a new node is added. Lastly, if node loss happens often, using on-demand instances instead of Spot might help avoid these issues.

Please let me know if it works.

Have a good day.

Regards,

Brahma
