I renamed spark-defaults.conf.template to spark-defaults.conf and invoked spark-1.3.0-bin-hadoop2.4/sbin/start-slave.sh
But I still get failed to launch org.apache.spark.deploy.worker.Worker: --properties-file FILE Path to a custom Spark properties file. Default is conf/spark-defaults.conf. But I'm thinking it should pick up the default spark-defaults.conf from conf dir Am I expecting or doing something wrong? Regards jk
