CoreNLP on Apache Spark

Question

I'm not sure if this is related to Spark or NLP. Please help.I'm currently trying to run Stanford CoreNLP Library on Apache Spark and when I try to run it on multiple cores, I get the following exception. I'm using the latest NLP Library which is thread safe.

This is happening during the map phase on line.

 pipeline.annotate(document);

I think it is a CoreNLP issue.

See also Concurrent processing using Stanford CoreNLP (3.5.2).

I had the same problem and using a build from the latest github revision (today) solved the problem. In summary think there was a bug in CoreNLP 3.5.2 and they solved it.

While its a bit hard to tell from that small amount of code, I think the key is the line java.util.Collections$UnmodifiableCollection$1.next(Collections.java:1042). Most likely you are trying to modify something which doesn't support modification, the solution to which would be to make a copy of your input.
