Answer 1

I also faced this issue. This issue is related to network. I installed spark on Windows 7 using particular domain.

Domain name can be checked

Start -> computer -> Right click -> Properties -> Computer name, domain and workgroup settings -> click on change -> Computer Name (Tab) -> Click on Change -> Domain name.

When I run spark-shell command, it works fine, without any error.

In other networks I received write permission error. To avoid this error, run spark command on Domain specified in above path.
