MemoryData & JAR error about caffeonspark

[anfeng]

Yes. We only support MemoryData right now.

What's content of your /data/mnist_memory_autoencoder_solver.prototxt? More specifically, I like to know its value for source_class

[mauricio-onoda]

name: "MNISTAutoencoder"
layer {
name: "data"
type: "MemoryData"
top: "data"
include {
phase: TRAIN
}
transform_param {
scale: 0.0039215684
}
source_class: "com.yahoo.ml.caffe.LMDB"
memory_data_param {
source: "mnist_train_lmdb/"
batch_size: 64
channels: 1
height: 28
width: 28
share_in_parallel: false
}
}

This source_class is the same for phases TEST/stage test-on-train and TEST/stage test-on-test.

I suspect that you missed some spaces in your CLI. Please add a space char before all \s.

[mauricio-onoda]

I found the problem! At second line in my CLI there was a space between file's names:

--files mnist_memory_autoencoder.prototxt, mnist_memory_autoencoder_solver.prototxt\

With a space after the comma, the error occurs.
After I removed the comma, my CLI worked.

However, we got another error:

The question is: the prototxt files must be exists in all workers (nodes)? If yes, how may I copy these files to workers?

Thanks again!

[mauricio-onoda]

My mistake! I had used a version of mnist_memory_autoencoder_solver.prototxt with path at "net" parameter. After I removed the path, it worked.

I have met the same error (NullPointerException) when I train other network(Caffenet), more detail see the #issue 217. I
I change the spark submit :
${CAFFE_ON_SPARK}/data/, so the spark submit is:
spark-submit --master ${MASTER_URL}
--files ${CAFFE_ON_SPARK}/data/solver.prototxt,${CAFFE_ON_SPARK}/data/train_val.prototxt
--conf spark.cores.max=${TOTAL_CORES}
--conf spark.task.cpus=${CORES_PER_WORKER}
--conf spark.driver.extraLibraryPath="${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}"
--conf spark.executorEnv.LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}"
--class com.yahoo.ml.caffe.CaffeOnSpark
${CAFFE_ON_SPARK}/caffe-grid/target/caffe-grid-0.1-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar
-train
-features accuracy,loss -label label
-conf solver.prototxt
-clusterSize ${SPARK_WORKER_INSTANCES}
-devices 1
-connection ethernet
-model file:${CAFFE_ON_SPARK}/myself_caffenet.model
-output file:${CAFFE_ON_SPARK}/myself_result

the solver.prototxt and train_val.prototxt at the path: ${CAFFE_ON_SPARK}/data/,
and the error is:
