Issues trying out example in Spark-shell - scala

Question

Wanted to try out Spark 2.0, but when I tried running the following code from
http://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/sql-programming-guide.html#getting-started
import org.apache.spark.sql.SparkSession
import spark.implicits._
val peopleDF = spark.read.format("json").load("myDir/examples/src/main/resources/people.json")
I end up getting:
16/08/22 22:59:53 WARN Hive: Failed to access metastore. This class should not accessed in runtime.

Any ideas what went wrong and how do I resolve this?

This is known issue (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-15899) in Spark 2.0.0. Start spark-shell with --conf argument like below-
spark-shell --conf spark.sql.warehouse.dir=file:///C:/tmp/spark-warehouse
If you want to run java example in 2.0.0 with Spark Session then use.
SparkSession spark = SparkSession
.builder()
.appName("JavaALSExample")
.config("spark.sql.warehouse.dir", "file:///C:/tmp/spark-warehouse")
.master("local[2]")
.getOrCreate();
