java.lang.IllegalArgumentException at org.apache.xbean.asm5.ClassReader.<init>(Unknown Source) with Java 10

Question

I Started getting the following error anytime I try to collect my rdd's. It happened after I installed Java 10.1 So of course I took it out and reinstalled it, same error. I then installed Java 9.04 same error. I then ripped out python 2.7.14, apache spark 2.3.0 and Hadoop 2.7, same error. Does anyone have any one have any other reasons why I keep getting the error?

Answer 1

Does anyone have any one have any other reasons why I keep getting the error?

Current Apache Spark versions don't support Java 9 or later. The support for these (or later versions) is planned for 3.0 release.

For the time being to run Spark you'll have to use JDK 8.

• time for Apache Spark 3.0?
• SPARK-24417 Build and Run Spark on JDK11
