RDD Collect Issue

Question

I configured a new system, spark 2.3.0, python 3.6.0, dataframe read and other operations working as expected.

But, RDD collect is failing -

distFile = spark.sparkContext.textFile("/Users/aakash/Documents/Final_HOME_ORIGINAL/Downloads/PreloadedDataset/breast-cancer-wisconsin.csv")

distFile.collect()

Error:

py4j.protocol.Py4JJavaError: An error occurred while calling z:org.apache.spark.api.python.PythonRDD.collectAndServe.

Traceback:

I followed this solution for similar problem, ( ERROR WHILE RUNNING collect() in PYSPARK ) installed latest Java, but still of no use.

What to do?

Answer 1

spark has some compatibility issues with the current latest version of java. The best solution for the moment is

1. uninstall Java 10
2. install Java 8 instead
