You are right this is related to Windows. I am using Windows8.
Placed the WinUtils.exe in HADOOP_HOME/bin.
Issue does not occur anymore.

this is windows, isn't it? you're missing a winutils.exe in the right place,
and hadoop core isn't providing anything meaningful. Hadoop 2.8 will provide
more diagnostics, including a link to this wiki page:

I have Spark 1.5.0 (Prebuilt for Hadoop 2.6) with JDK 1.7.
NOTE: I do not have Hadoop installation.
When ever I start spark-shell, I get the following error
Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
at java.lang.ProcessBuilder.start(ProcessBuilder.java:1010)
at org.apache.hadoop.
