java.lang.AbstractMethodError:org.apache.phoenix.spark.DefaultSource.createRelation using pheonix in pyspark

Question

I am trying to write a Spark dataframe to HBase using pheonix and I see the following error. Any idea what is going on here? :

Answer 1

question is quite old but I face same issue so maybe it's worth answering.

In my case the issue was that I had insufficient conf in spark submit for

spark.driver.extraClassPath

and

spark.executor.extraClassPath

when I add

    --conf "spark.driver.extraClassPath=phoenix-spark2.jar:phoenix-client.jar:/etc/hbase/conf"
    --conf "spark.executor.extraClassPath=phoenix-spark2.jar:phoenix-client.jar:/etc/hbase/conf"

it's works for me (versions: phoenix 4.7, hbase 1.1 and hartonworks hdp 2.6.5)
