Good catch; the Spark cluster on EC2 is configured to use HDFS as its default 
filesystem, so it can’t find this file. The quick start was written to run on a 
single machine with an out-of-the-box install. If you’d like to upload this 
file to the HDFS cluster on EC2, use the following command:

~/ephemeral-hdfs/bin/hadoop fs -put README.md README.md
