Adding to all those valuable answers,

For windows users,Make sure you have copied the correct version of the winutils.exe file(for your specific version of Hadoop) to the spark/bin folder

Say, if you have Hadoop 2.7.1, then you should copy the winutils.exe file from the Hadoop 2.7.1/bin folder

Link for that is here
