I am trying to read a csv into pyspark console with the following code:
from pyspark.sql import SQLContext
import pyspark
sql_c = SQLContext(sc)
df = sql_c.read.csv('join_rows_no_prepended_new_line.csv')
However, I get a very long error about memory usage while I have 144gb free. Additionally, the memory error happens immediately upon running the above code so I not think it is actually a memory error. I've have java 1.8 installed, spark 2.4.0, and python 3.6. I also have scala installed, but I haven't dug into it yet. I do not have hadoop installed (Do I need it?)
To remedy the error I've tried to increase java's heap size, but that hasn't changed the error yet. I've run pyspark with these options set and get the same result pyspark --num-executors 5 --driver-memory 2g --executor-memory 2g

I believe your issue may be from the way you are submitting your job:
pyspark --num-executors 5 --driver-memory 2g --executor-memory 2g
If the file is, as you say, 65GB, the above submission tells spark to only use 2GB of available memory.
Try ramping the --driver-memory parameter to be slightly larger than the size of your .csv file.
e.g --driver-memory 70G
To explain why this is necessary:
Without a cluster with a distributed file system, your entire data set sits on your local drive. Spark allows you to split jobs up in an optimised way across a cluster - but without it linked to said cluster of separate machines all of your data will be loaded into your driver's memory. Thus, even though you have higher parallelism here, you need to allow the job to take up as much, or more space than your input file.
Edit - To answer your questions in the comments:
There's a few concepts that is core to understanding when you need a full 65G allocated to the driver for a Spark job and when it isn't necessary.
First, Spark runs on a JVM (Java Virtual Machine) - a place where the code actually executes. The JVM contains a "Heap Space" which can be understood as how much memory the virtual machine has and may use. In the above scenario, you do not have a cluster of separate machines and your data is not distributed across them so you need to provide the underlying JVM enough memory to hold your data, perhaps even more so if you intend to perform any actions that increase the size of your data in any way.
Now, Spark itself is a framework that allows you to compute computationally expensive tasks in a parallel and optimised fashion but it shows its full potential when you have a distributed file system like HDFS (Hadoop Distributed File System).
When storing data in HDFS, you send pieces of it across every machine and Spark allows you to operate on the data stored in this "chunked" way, where every individual executor, on every machine in your cluster, performs your specific operation on a small chunk. Here is the catch though, if you ever wish to "action" your data (I.E collect, show, count) you need to pull the resulting data set all into one place again - which is what we call the driver.
This gives rise to two scenarios:
There is quite a lot to understand and play around with in Spark - I highly recommend taking some time to read about how it works and what it can do for you. Here is also a link to a tutorial which can take you through each piece of terminology
