Troubleshoot an Amazon EMR cluster that has failed with an error code
This section walks you through the process of troubleshooting a cluster that has failed. This means that the cluster terminated with an error code.
Note
When an EMR cluster terminates with an error, the DescribeCluster
and
ListClusters
APIs return an error code and an error message. For some
cluster errors, the ErrorDetail
data array can also help you troubleshoot the
failure. For more information, see Error codes with ErrorDetail
information in Amazon EMR.
If your cluster runs but takes a long time to return results, see Troubleshoot a slow Amazon EMR cluster.
