Had the same issue with my iphython notebook (IPython 3.2.1) on Linux (ubuntu).

What was missing in my case was setting the master URL in the $PYSPARK_SUBMIT_ARGS environment like this (assuming you use bash):

export PYSPARK_SUBMIT_ARGS="--master spark://<host>:<port>"

e.g.

export PYSPARK_SUBMIT_ARGS="--master spark://192.168.2.40:7077"

You can put this into your .bashrc file. You get the correct URL in the log for the spark master (the location for this log is reported when you start the master with /sbin/start_master.sh).

There are so many reasons for this error  My reason is   the version of pyspark is incompatible with spark   pyspark version  2 4 0  but spark version is 2 2 0  it always cause python always fail when starting spark process  then spark cannot tell its ports to python  so error will be  Pyspark  Exception  Java gateway process exited before sending the driver its port number     I suggest you dive into source code to find out the real reasons when this error happens

Make sure that both your Java directory  as found in your path  AND your Python interpreter reside in directories with no spaces in them  These were the cause of my problem

One possible reason is JAVA HOME is not set because java is not installed   I encountered the same issue  It says   Exception in thread  main  java lang UnsupportedClassVersionError  org apache spark launcher Main   Unsupported major minor version 51 0     at java lang ClassLoader defineClass1 Native Method      at java lang ClassLoader defineClass ClassLoader java 643      at java security SecureClassLoader defineClass SecureClassLoader java 142      at java net URLClassLoader defineClass URLClassLoader java 277      at java net URLClassLoader access 000 URLClassLoader java 73      at java net URLClassLoader 1 run URLClassLoader java 212      at java security AccessController doPrivileged Native Method      at java net URLClassLoader findClass URLClassLoader java 205      at java lang ClassLoader loadClass ClassLoader java 323      at sun misc Launcher AppClassLoader loadClass Launcher java 296      at java lang ClassLoader loadClass ClassLoader java 268      at sun launcher LauncherHelper checkAndLoadMain LauncherHelper java 406  Traceback  most recent call last     File   lt string gt    line 1  in  lt module gt    File   opt spark python pyspark conf py   line 104  in   init       SparkContext  ensure initialized     File   opt spark python pyspark context py   line 243  in  ensure initialized     SparkContext  gateway   gateway or launch gateway     File   opt spark python pyspark java gateway py   line 94  in launch gateway     raise Exception  Java gateway process exited before sending the driver its port number   Exception  Java gateway process exited before sending the driver its port number   at sc   pyspark SparkConf    I solved it by running  sudo add-apt-repository ppa webupd8team java sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer   which is from https   www digitalocean com community tutorials how-to-install-java-with-apt-get-on-ubuntu-16-04

For Linux  Ubuntu 18 04  with a JAVA HOME issue  a key is to point it to the master folder    Set Java 8 as default by  sudo update-alternatives --config java  If Jave 8 is not installed  install by  sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk  Set JAVA HOME environment variable as the master java 8 folder  The location is given by the first command above removing jre bin java  Namely  export JAVA HOME   usr lib jvm java-8-openjdk-amd64    If done on the command line  this will be relevant only for the current session  ref  export command on Linux   To verify  echo  JAVA HOME  In order to have this permanently set  add the bolded line above to a file that runs before you start your IDE Jupyter python interpreter  This could be by adding the bolded line above to  bashrc  This file loads when a bash is started interactively ref   bashrc

I had the same exception and I tried everything by setting and resetting all environment variables  But the issue in the end drilled down to space in appname property of spark session that is   SparkSession builder appName  StreamingDemo   getOrCreate     Immediately after removing space from string given to appname property it got resolved I was using pyspark 2 7 with eclipse on windows 10 environment  It worked for me  Enclosed are required screenshots

If you are trying to run spark without hadoop binaries  you might encounter the above mentioned error  One solution is to    1  download hadoop separatedly  2  add hadoop to your PATH 3  add hadoop classpath to your SPARK install  The first two steps are trivial  the last step can be best done by adding the following in the  SPARK HOME conf spark-env sh in each spark node  master and workers       in conf spark-env sh      export SPARK DIST CLASSPATH   hadoop classpath    for more info also check  https   spark apache org docs latest hadoop-provided html

This is an old thread but I m adding my solution for those who use mac   The issue was with the JAVA HOME   You have to include this in your  bash profile   Check your java -version  If you downloaded the latest Java but it doesn t show up as the latest version  then you know that the path is wrong   Normally  the default path is export JAVA HOME   usr bin java     So try changing the path to   Library Internet  Plug-Ins JavaAppletPlugin plugin Contents Home bin java  Alternatively you could also download the latest JDK  https   www oracle com technetwork java javase downloads index html and this will automatically replace usr bin java to the latest version   You can confirm this by doing java -version again   Then that should work

I have the same error   My trouble shooting procedures are    Check out Spark source code  Follow the error message  In my case  pyspark java gateway py  line 93  in launch gateway  Check the code logic to find the root cause then you will resolve it    In my case the issue is PySpark has no permission to create some temporary directory  so I just run my IDE with sudo

In my case this error came for the script which was running fine before  So I figured out that this might be due to my JAVA update  Before I was using java 1 8 but I had accidentally updated to java 1 9  When I switched back to java 1 8 the error disappeared and everything is running fine   For those  who get this error for the same reason but do not know how to switch back to older java version on ubuntu   run  sudo update-alternatives --config java    and make the selection for java version

I will repost how I solved it here just for future references  How I solved my similar problem Prerequisite   anaconda already installed Spark already installed  https   spark apache org downloads html  pyspark already installed  https   anaconda org conda-forge pyspark   Steps I did  NOTE  set the folder path accordingly to your system    set the following environment variables  SPARK HOME to  C  spark spark-3 0 1-bin-hadoop2 7  set HADOOP HOME  to  C  spark spark-3 0 1-bin-hadoop2 7  set PYSPARK DRIVER PYTHON to  jupyter  set PYSPARK DRIVER PYTHON OPTS to  notebook  add  C  spark spark-3 0 1-bin-hadoop2 7 bin   to PATH system variable  Change the java installed folder directly under C   Previously java was installed under Program files  so I re-installed directly under C   so my JAVA HOME will become like this  C  java jdk1 8 0 271    now  it works

This usually happens if you do not have java installed in your machine   Go to command prompt and check the version of your java   type   java -version  you should get output sth like this  java version  1 8 0 241  Java TM  SE Runtime Environment  build 1 8 0 241-b07  Java HotSpot TM  64-Bit Server VM  build 25 241-b07  mixed mode   If not  go to orcale and download jdk   Check this video on how to download java and add it to the buildpath   https   www youtube com watch v f7rT0h1Q5Wo

Spark is very picky with the Java version you use  It is highly recommended that you use Java 1 8  The open source AdoptOpenJDK 8 works well too   After install it  set JAVA HOME to your bash variables  if you use Mac Linux   export JAVA HOME    usr libexec java home -v 1 8   export PATH  JAVA HOME bin  PATH
