exception in thread main java.lang.exceptionininitializerError When installing spark without hadoop

Question

I am trying to install spark2.3.0, more specificly, it is spark-2.3.0-bin-hadoppo2.7

'D:\spark\bin' is already added in environment variable PATH. Meanwhile, JDK-10 is installed. Hadoop is not installed. But google says spark can work without hadoop.

Here is the error message

Anyone has an idea what should I do to install spark?

Answer 1

Current Spark version (2.3) doesn't support JDK 9 nor 10. The latest supported JDK version is JDK 8. You should downgrade your Java installation.
