@vijaypabothu You can resolve this using below steps. This seems somehow the directory is not exists which is causing the issue. 

# hdfs dfs -mkdir -p /user/spark/applicationHistory
// make sure it is owned by spark user/group
# hdfs dfs -chown -R spark:spark /user/spark/
// set 777 access rights and sticky bit
# hdfs dfs -chmod 1777 /user/spark/applicationHistory
// restart the SHS process to test. CM > Spark > Instances > (select Spark History Server) > Actions > Restart
