PySpark: ERROR SparkContext: Error initializing SparkContext. java.nio.file.AccessDeniedException: - database

Question

(New to Spark)
I have spark installed standalone on Linux machine for doing POC. Everything was looking OK and our code was working fine we start getting intermittent error below:
ERROR SparkContext: Error initializing SparkContext.
java.nio.file.AccessDeniedException: /tmp/spark-8bcc1872-653b-419f-9d46-b3e449b3c223/userFiles-6ac82898-4415-4a93-9075-b50ace65ddc4/myscript.py
I tired moving code, renaming code, simplifying code but none of that worked. In few time the error stopped by itself. No it is not going anywhere.
My spark version is spark-2.2.0
The weird thing that once that error happen, when I typed pyspark it also failed to start with very long error trace (below last part):
Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: Unable to open a test connection to the given database. JDBC url = jdbc:derby:;databaseName=metastore_db;create=true, username = APP. Terminating connection pool (set lazyInit to true if you expect to start your database after your app). Original Exception: ------

Help is appreciated

Answer 1

The issue was solved. umask setting result in incorrect permission of metastore_db folder.
What I do not understand what is the correct "clean" command to submit pyspark without creating these folders everywhere?
