title: Could not locate executable C:\hadoop\bin\winutils.exe in the hadoop binaries
body: <p>I followed the directions <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31163390/java-io-ioexception-could-not-locate-executable-null-bin-winutils-exe-in-the-ha">here</a> but spark still comes up with error: "Could not locate executable C:\hadoop\bin\winutils.exe in the hadoop binaries". I have the right winutils.exe file (2.7.1) for the Spark version(2.1.0) on my Windows computer. The path variable points to C:\hadoop\bin which is where the winutils.exe is located. And I ran  winutils.exe chmod 777 -R C:\tmp\hive in the command window as Administrator. </p>
  
  <p>Any more ideas other than switching to a Unix/Linux setup?</p>
