I keep on getting this error whenever I'm starting spark-shell : The root scratch dir: /tmp/hive on HDFS should be writable. Current permissions are: rwx------.
I cannot work with this if I need to do anything with sqlContext as that does not get created. I could see that a bug is raised for this https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-10066. However, is there any work around for this. I didn't face this problem in 1.4.1 Regards, Sourav
