Hi Steve, Your spark master is not running if you have not started it. On windows its missing come scripts/and or the correct installation instructions. I was able to start the master with
C:\> spark-class.cmd org.apache.spark.deploy.master.Master Then on the browser with localhost:port you get the “spark url”, with the 7707 port. This spark url has to be used to start the Spark worker C:\>spark-class.cmd org.apache.spark.deploy.worker.Worker spark://D-113052037.wipro.com:7077 Also I ran the master and worker on different windows machines. Also I don’t think the spark-shell is an alternative to starting the spark master. The Spark instructions and most of the scripts are geared towards unix systems.

I can execute spark-shell.com<http://spark-shell.com> and get a command window which does the proper things I open a browser to http:/localhost:4040 and a window comes up describing the spark-master Then using IntelliJ I create a project with JavaWordCount from the spark distribution. add When I run the job with the -Dspark.master=spark://local[*]:7707 (I have tried MANY other string) the Job fails for failure to connect to the spark master. So my question is 1) Do I have a spark-master running? How can I tell? doesn't the web page say it is running 2) How to I find the port on which the master is running and test that it is accepting jobs 3) Are there other steps I need to take before I can run a simple spark sample? 14/08/21 09:27:08 INFO scheduler.TaskSchedulerImpl: Adding task set 1.0 with 1 tasks 14/08/21 09:27:23 WARN scheduler.TaskSchedulerImpl: Initial job has not accepted any resources; check your cluster UI to ensure that workers are registered and have sufficient memory ... 14/08/21 09:28:08 ERROR cluster.SparkDeploySchedulerBackend: Application has been killed.
