Why does Spark report “java.net.URISyntaxException: Relative path in absolute URI” when working with DataFrames?

I am running Spark locally on a Windows machine. I was able to launch the spark shell successfully and also read in text files as RDDs. I was also able to follow along the various online tutorials on this subject and was able to perform various operations on the RDDs.

However, when I try to convert an RDD into a DataFrame I am getting an error. This is what I am doing:

val sqlContext = new org.apache.spark.sql.SQLContext(sc)
import sqlContext.implicits._

//convert rdd to df


val df = rddFile.toDF()


This code generates a long series of error messages that seem to relate to the following one:

It's actually the SPARK-15565 issue in Spark 2.0 on Windows.

The solution in Spark 2.0.0 is to set spark.sql.warehouse.dir to some properly-referenced directory, say file:///c:/Spark/spark-2.0.0-bin-hadoop2.7/spark-warehouse that uses /// (triple slashes).

Start spark-shell with --conf argument as follows:

spark-shell --conf spark.sql.warehouse.dir=file:///c:/tmp/spark-warehouse

Or create a SparkSession in your Spark application using the new fluent builder pattern as follows:

import org.apache.spark.sql.SparkSession

SparkSession spark = SparkSession

  .builder()

  .config("spark.sql.warehouse.dir", "file:///c:/tmp/spark-warehouse")

  .getOrCreate()

Or create conf/spark-defaults.conf with the following content:

spark.sql.warehouse.dir file:///c:/tmp/spark-warehouse
