The stack trace for the first scenario and your suggested improvement is similar, with as only difference the first line (Sorry for not including this): "Log directory /home/hduser/spark/spark-events does not exist."
To verify your premises, I cd'ed into the directory by copy pasting the path listed in the error message (i, ii), created a text file, closed it an viewed it, and deleted it (iii). My findings were reconfirmed by my colleague. Any other ideas?
