--------------------------------------

             Summary: Unhelpful error messages when trying to load data from 
file.
                 Key: SPARK-20497
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-20497
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: SQL
    Affects Versions: 2.1.0
            Reporter: Brandon Barker


I'm attempting to do the simple task of reproducing the results from the linear 
regression example in Spark. I'm using Windows 10.

  val training = spark.read.format("libsvm")
 .load("C:Users\\brand\\Documents\\GitHub\\sample_linear_regression_data.txt")

Although the file is definitely at the specified location, I just get a 
java.lang.NullPointerException at this line. The documentation at 
http://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/sql-programming-guide.html#generic-loadsave-functions
 doesn't seem to clear things up. 

In my view, such a simple operation should not be troublesome, but perhaps I've 
missed some critical documentation - if so, I apologize.
