Issue installing Spark in windows 10.

[#1]

Hi 

I followed below steps when installing Spark:

1. downlaoded JDK 10

2. Set environment varibale "JAVA_HOME" under user variable. Update the PATH under user variable to %JAVA_HOME%\bin

3. downlaod spark (spark-2.3.0-bin-hadoop2.7). Copy all files into a folder called "spark". 

4. downlaod winutils.exe from internet (GITHUB). 

5. setup environemtn varibale "HADOOP_HOME" and "SPARK_HOME"

6. Add path %SPARK_HOME%\bin

When i run spark-shell i am getting below error message:
