Q:

Unable to load AWS credentials from any provider in the chain - error - when trying to load model from S3

I have an MLLib model saved in a folder on S3, say bucket-name/test-model. Now, I have a spark cluster (let's say on a single machine for now). I am running the following commands to load the model:
pyspark --packages com.amazonaws:aws-java-sdk:1.7.4,org.apache.hadoop:hadoop-aws:2.7.3

Then,
sc.setSystemProperty("com.amazonaws.services.s3.enableV4", "true")
hadoopConf = sc._jsc.hadoopConfiguration()
hadoopConf.set("fs.s3a.awsAccessKeyId", AWS_ACCESS_KEY)
hadoopConf.set("fs.s3a.awsSecretAccessKey", AWS_SECRET_KEY)
hadoopConf.set("fs.s3a.endpoint", "s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com")
hadoopConf.set("com.amazonaws.services.s3a.enableV4", "true")
hadoopConf.set("fs.s3a.impl", "org.apache.hadoop.fs.s3a.S3AFileSystem")
from pyspark.ml.classification import RandomForestClassifier, RandomForestClassificationModel
m1 = RandomForestClassificationModel.load('s3a://test-bucket/test-model')

and I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Honestly, these lines of code are taken from the web and I have no idea about storing and loading MLLib models on to S3. Any help here will be appreciated and also the next step for me is to do the same on a cluster of machines. So any heads up will also be appreciated.

A:

You are using the wrong property names for the s3a connector.
