Hi, You should be able to read it, file://or file:/// not even required for reading locally , just path is enough.. what error message you getting on spark-shell while reading... for local:
Also read the same from hdfs file also ... put your README file there and read , it works in both ways.. val a= sc.textFile("hdfs://localhost:54310/t/README.md") also, print stack message of your spark-shell...
