Spark cannot access local file anymore

Question

I'm getting an error while accessing local file 

mydf = sc.wholeTextFiles('./dbs-*.json,./uob-*.json').flatMap(lambda x: flattenTransactionFile(json.loads(x[1]))).toDF()

Answer 1

By default it will access the HDFS. So, if you want to use a local file, you need to use file:///your_local_path.
