Cannot load local file into PySpark Dataframe


I am a MacOS user and I just downloaded Apache Spark. I then put it in /usr/local/spark. Here is what inside my .bash_profile:

export SPARK_HOME="/usr/local/spark"
export PYSPARK_PYTHON=python3
export PATH=$PATH:$SPARK_HOME/bin
#export PYSPARK_DRIVER_PYTHON="jupyter"
#export PYSPARK_DRIVER_PYTHON_OPTS="notebook"

The problem is, when type pyspark to enter the pyspark shell, then type these two lines:

spark = SparkSession.builder.appName("preprocessing").config("spark-master", "local").getOrCreate()
df = spark.read.format("csv").option("header","true").option("inferSchema", "true").option("delimiter",",").load("src/census-income.data")

An error occurs:

Solution

  • Can you try deleting the file metastore_db/dbex.lck from the current directory (SPARK_HOME)?
