Answer 1

Add SPARK_LOCAL_IP in load-spark-env.sh as

export SPARK_LOCAL_IP="127.0.0.1"

The load-spark-env.sh file is located in spark/bin directory

Or you can add your hostname in /etc/hosts file as

127.0.0.1   hostname 

You can get your hostname by typing hostname in terminal

Hope this solves the issue!

Answer 2

There are a few different solutions

1. Get your hostname

   $ hostname
   

   then try to assign your host name

   $ sudo hostname -s 127.0.0.1
   

   Start spark-shell.

2. Add your hostname to your /etc/hosts file (if not present)

   127.0.0.1      your_hostname
   

3. Add env variable

   export SPARK_LOCAL_IP="127.0.0.1" 
   
   load-spark-env.sh 
   

4. Above steps solved my problem but you can also try to add

   export SPARK_LOCAL_IP=127.0.0.1 
   

   under the comment for local IP on template file spark-env.sh.template (/usr/local/Cellar/apache-spark/2.1.0/libexec/conf/)

   and then

   cp spark-env.sh.template spark-env.sh
   spark-shell
   

5. If none of the above fixes, check your firewall and enable it, if not already enabled

• Had similar issue in my IntelliJ

  Reason : I was on cisco anyconnect VPN

  Fix : disconnected from the VPN, this issue did not appear

Answer 4

1. in your terminal by typing hostname you can have a look at your current hostname.
2. vim /etc/hosts and set the hostname you get just now to your exact ip or 127.0.0.1.
