错误原因，需要为spark设置master url

如果选择的部署模式是standalone且部署到你配置的这个集群上，可以指定 MASTER=spark://ubuntu:7070

下面解答spark在那里指定master URL的问题：
1.通过spark shell，执行后进入交互界面

MASTER=spark://IP:PORT ./bin/spark-shell

2.程序内指定（可以通过参数传入）

val conf = new SparkConf()
             .setMaster(...)
val sc = new SparkContext(conf)

传递给spark的master url可以有如下几种：

local 本地单线程
local[K] 本地多线程（指定K个内核）
local[*] 本地多线程（指定所有可用内核）
spark://HOST:PORT 连接到指定的  Spark standalone cluster master，需要指定端口。
mesos://HOST:PORT 连接到指定的  Mesos 集群，需要指定端口。
yarn-client客户端模式 连接到  YARN 集群。需要配置 HADOOP_CONF_DIR。
yarn-cluster集群模式 连接到  YARN 集群 。需要配置 HADOOP_CONF_DIR。
