Bill Chambers commented on SPARK-10528:
---------------------------------------

This came up for me when I used the spark_ec2 launcher. When I tried to enter 
the spark shell I received the same error.

Running:
    ephermeral-hdfs/bin/hadoop fs -chmod 777 /tmp/hive

allowed the SQLContext to get pulled in and created correctly.

It's a workaround for now, but something that might want to be fixed in the 
future.
