Answer 1

Using the Java 8 version of OpenJDK resolved this issue for me.

sudo update-alternatives --config java
sudo update-alternatives --config javac

Answer 2

Worked with this java version "1.8.0_144"

Uninstall java and apache-spark

install java, install apache-spark

Answer 3

Installing java version "1.8.0_144" resolved the issue for me. I had installed jdk 1.9 previously.

Answer 4

i had a zip of my jdk at the same location. Removing the zip did the trick for me.

Answer 5

Installing Java 8 resolved this issue.

I downloaded java 8 and i extracted that to the following location : /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_172

After doing this update the JAVA_HOME path to the same : /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0_172

This will resolve the issue.

Answer 6

I ran into the same issue. Uninstall Java 9

sudo rm -fr /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-9.jdk/
sudo rm -fr /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin
sudo rm -fr /Library/PreferencePanes/JavaControlPanel.prefPane

Ref: https://gist.github.com/schnell18/bcb9833f725be22f6acd01f94b486392

Install Java 8.

Everything seems to good now.

Btw: this was for mac. Might be useful for you.
