Can not access Namenode in Pyspark but in Python it works?

I just want to use HDFS.open in my Pyspark shell but get the following Error:

Someone got an idea ? In Python it works I can use HDFS.Open function - In Pyspark I can not access the Namenode? I do not get why it works in Python but not in Pyspark?

Python 2.7 (Anaconda 4) Spark 1.6.0 Hadoop 2.4 (Installed with Ambari)

Hi Lukas,

PySpark's Spark Context (sc) also has it's own methods to read data from HDFS, sc.textFile(...), sc.wholeTextFile(...), sc.binaryFile(...). Why don't you try using those to read data from HDFS and you also directly get an RDD for the data you read in? However if you use these methods of the SparkContext make sure to add your core-site.xml and hdfs-site.xml config files to the Spark conf dir; and by the way the Spark Conf Dir can be set using the environment variable to any desired location SPARK_CONF_DIR.

Try adding spark assembly jar while running pyspark.

pyspark --jars /usr/hdp/current/spark-client/lib/spark-assembly-<version>-hadoop2<version>.jar

This did not work (I also commented my question for further information)

This is what I am executing with Pydoop in Jupyter:

file_X_train
= hdfs.open("/path../.csv")
import
pydoop.hdfs as hdfs

https://github.com/crs4/pydoop/issues/158 this is the error I get - I use HDP 2.4 and Python 2.7 - This is why I am asking here...
