Two jar files are added. spark-cassandra-connector-java-assembly-1.4.0-M1-SNAPSHOT.jar & spark-core_2.10-0.9.0-incubating.jar. spark-cassandra-connector-java-assembly-1.4.0-M1-SNAPSHOT.jar is build against scala 2.10. Typing scala -version on command prompt showing scala code runner version 2.11.6. Accessing spark from spark-shell have no issue. Even access in cassandra column family from spark-shell is working fine.

public class Client {
    public static void main(String[] a)
    {
        SparkConf conf = new SparkConf().setAppName("MTMPNLTesting").setMaster("192.168.1.15");
    }
}

What might be the reason of the error??

Try also to include Scala Jar at your class path. If you do not use Maven, download the jar and include it in the Project build properties.
