INTERNAL_ERROR_SPOT_PRICE_INCREASE_PRIMARY

Overview

A cluster terminates with an INTERNAL_ERROR_SPOT_PRICE_INCREASE_PRIMARY error when Amazon EMR can't fulfill your Spot Instance request for the primary node because instances aren't available at or below your maximum Spot price. For more information, see Spot Instances in the Amazon EC2 User Guide.

Resolution

To resolve this error, specify instance types for your cluster that are within your price target, or increase your price limit for the same instance type.

To troubleshoot the failed EMR cluster, refer to the ErrorDetail information returned from the DescribeCluster and ListClusters APIs. For more information, see Error codes with ErrorDetail information. The ErrorData array within ErrorDetail returns the following information for this error code:

primary-instance-id

The ID for the primary instance of the cluster that failed.

instance-type

The instance type that is out of capacity.

availability-zone

The Availability Zone where your subnet resides.

public-doc

Steps to complete

Perform the following steps to troubleshoot your cluster configuration strategy, and then launch a new cluster:

  1. Review the best practices for Amazon EC2 Spot Instances and review your cluster configuration strategy. For more information, see Best practices for EC2 Spot in the Amazon EC2 User Guide and Best practices for cluster configuration.

  2. Modify your instance type configurations or Availability Zone and create a new cluster with your updated request.

  3. If the issue persists, use On-Demand capacity for your primary instance.
