EMR terminated because all slaves in the job flow were terminated, But core and task nodes were ON DEMAND

Question

EMR had 1 primary, 1 core and 5 task nodes. All 3 group of nodes were on demand (including task group). I didn't use spot purchasing for task group to avoid unexpected  termination. But still EMR terminated with error : `All slaves in the job flow were terminated`. What could be the reason for termination? And Where can I find more log about this failure?

Answer

Hello,

There could be the chance that you have turned off the `termination protection` and enabled the `auto termination`. Possibly when the core or task node goes to `unhealthy state` due to the reasons like disk space utilized more than 80 %, Yarn mark those nodes unhealthy and exclude the node for scheduling the task. If this situation persist about an hour, then node will be `decommissioned` and terminate the instance in case the termination protection policy is disabled.

You can refer the EMR instance-state log to confirm this, if the logging enabled for the cluster. You can refer the `s3://logging bucket//node//daemons/instance-state/instance-state-log*`. In this location, you can find the particular instance's OS statistics like the output of `df -h, top cpu, top memory` and etc, that logged every 15 minutes of the state. Let me know if you have any queries on this.
