Error in Apache Spark while trying to read a file from hdfs (input path does not exist)

Question

I am getting the following error when I try to read a file with Spark from hdfs:

 scala> val textfile = sc.textFile("tmp/opendata/les-arbres.csv").collect()

On the hdfs the file is existing:

[root@sandbox ~]# hdfs dfs -ls /tmp/opendata
Found 1 items
-rw-r--r--   3 maria_dev hdfs   43404192 2017-10-09 08:30 /tmp/opendata/les-arbres.csv

I am running the Hortonworks sandbox on an Oracle VM. I am really new to Spark and I don´t know why the error is there. Do I maybe need to configure Spark first, because it seems like Spark is connected to another HDFS?

Answer 1

As I see in your hdfs dfs -ls command , your tmp folder is not inside the /user/root/ folder. You just has to apply the following:

val textfile = sc.textFile("/tmp/opendata/les-arbres.csv").collect()

You must put a "/" character before the path where are you going to look for the file.
