When starting Spark shell in Windows 10 machine, I encountered an error - ERROR SparkUI: Failed to bind SparkUI. The detailed error message looks like the following:
20/12/13 20:47:34 ERROR SparkUI: Failed to bind SparkUI
java.net.BindException: Failed to bind to /0.0.0.0:4056: Service 'SparkUI' failed after 16 retries (starting from 4040)! Consider explicitly setting the appropriate port for the service 'SparkUI' (for example spark.ui.port for SparkUI) to an available port or increasing spark.port.maxRetries.

Fix the error
The error itself is self-explaining. The root cause is that all the ports in the 16 tries are not available.
About Spark config spark.ui.port
Spark configuration spark.ui.portcan be used to specify the default port of Spark UI. By default it is on port 4040. If the port number is occupied by other programs, Spark will try to increase the port number and try up to spark.port.maxRetries times. By default, the value for spark.port.maxRetries is 16.
Change default Spark UI port
The following command specifies the default port as 11111 when starting Spark session.
spark-shell -c spark.ui.port=11111
infoPlease choose a port numbers that is available to use in your system.
Once Spark session is started successfully, the console will print out Spark UI web URL. For example, the UI is http://localhost:11111 in my computer as the following screenshot shows:
The UI looks like the following:
Install Spark 3.0.0
If you don't have a Spark cluster to work with, you can try configuring one on your Windows or Linux machine. Follow these guides to do it yourself:
