Jakub Nowacki commented on SPARK-18136:
---------------------------------------

[PR|https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/19310] fixes how {{spark-class2.cmd}} 
looks for jars directory on Windows. It fails to find jars and start JVM as the 
condition for the env variable {{SPARK_JARS_DIR}} looks for 
{{%SPARK_HOME%\RELEASE}}, which is not included in the {{pip/conda}} build. 
Instead, it should look for {{%SPARK_HOME%\jars}}, which it is later referring 
to.

The above fixes the errors while importing {{pyspark}} into Python and creating 
SparkSession, but there is still an issue calling {{pyspark.cmd}}. Namely, 
normal command call on command line, without path specification fails with 
{{System cannot find the path specified.}}. It is likely due to the script link 
being resolved to Script folder in Anaconda, e.g. 
{{C:\Tools\Anaconda3\Scripts\pyspark.cmd}}. If the script is run via the full 
path to the PySpark package, e.g. 
{{\Tools\Anaconda3\Lib\site-packages\pyspark\bin\pyspark.cmd}} it works fine. 
It is likely due to the fact that {{SPARK_HOME}} is resolved as follows {{set 
SPARK_HOME=%~dp0..}}, which in case of the system call resolves (likely) to 
{{\Tools\Anaconda3\}} and should resolve to 
{{\Tools\Anaconda3\Lib\site-packages\pyspark\}}. Since I dion't know CMD 
scripting that well, I haven't found solution to this issue yet, apart from the 
workaround, i.e. calling it with full (direct) path.
