NoClassDefFoundError com.apache.hadoop.fs.FSDataInputStream when execute spark-shell

Question

I've downloaded the prebuild version of spark 1.4.0 without hadoop (with user-provided Haddop). When I ran the spark-shell command, I got this error:

I've searched on Internet, it is said that HADOOP_HOME has not been set yet in spark-env.cmd. But I cannot find spark-env.cmd in the spark installation folder. I've traced the spark-shell command and it seems that there are no HADOOP_CONFIG in there. I've tried to add the HADOOP_HOME on environment variable but it still give the same exception.

Actually I don't really using the hadoop. I downloaded hadoop as a workaround as suggested in this question

I am using windows 8 and scala 2.10.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

The "without Hadoop" in the Spark's build name is misleading: it means the build is not tied to a specific Hadoop distribution, not that it is meant to run without it: the user should indicate where to find Hadoop (see https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/hadoop-provided.html)

One clean way to fix this issue is to:

1. Obtain Hadoop Windows binaries. Ideally build them, but this is painful (for some hints see: Hadoop on Windows Building/ Installation Error). Otherwise Google some up, for instance currently you can download 2.6.0 from here: http://www.barik.net/archive/2015/01/19/172716/
2. Create a spark-env.cmd file looking like this (modify Hadoop path to match your installation): @echo off set HADOOP_HOME=D:Utilshadoop-2.7.1 set PATH=%HADOOP_HOME%in;%PATH% set SPARK_DIST_CLASSPATH=<paste here the output of %HADOOP_HOME%inhadoop classpath>
3. Put this spark-env.cmd either in a conf folder located at the same level as your Spark base folder (which may look weird), or in a folder indicated by the SPARK_CONF_DIR environment variable.
