Answer 1

I had a similar issue. In my case the problem was with the hyphen ('-').
by changing the code :

sc <- sparkR.init(master = "local[*]",sparkPackages = c("com.databricks:spark-csv_2.11-1.4.0"))

to:

sc <- sparkR.init(master = "local[*]",sparkPackages = c("com.databricks:spark-csv_2.11:1.4.0"))

worked for me. Do you notice the change?

P.S.: Do copy the jar in your SPARK_HOME\lib folder

Edit 1: Also, check that you have configured your "HADOOP_HOME"

Hope this helps.
