Try with csv writer as text expects only one column.

 df.write.mode("overwrite").csv("/user/root/JOUT")

(or)

Convert the df to rdd then use saveAsTextFile to write the json to hdfs

df.rdd.saveAsTextFile("/user/root/JOUT") 

(or)

using .format("json") and save the file to hdfs

df.write.format("json").mode("append").save("/user/root/JOUT")
