Troubleshooting & next steps

Troubleshooting

If ./benchmarks/run.sh exits silently right after "Phase 0", three common causes:

1. Stale Docker client — older Docker Desktop ships an API 1.43 client that's incompatible with newer minikube daemons (1.44+). Update Docker Desktop.
2. minikube isn't running — minikube status will show host: Stopped. Run minikube start.
3. Spark Operator missing or webhook not ready — Phase 2 fails with failed calling webhook ... connection refused. Reinstall, or wait ~30s for the webhook to be Ready and re-run.

Next steps

• Quickstart: Local — same setup, more detail
• Benchmarks — run the suite at SF=10, SF=20
• Agentic AI — what the agent can and can't see
• Cloud Quickstart — deploy on EKS / GKE / AKS for production-scale comparisons
