PySpark: AWS s3n is working but s3a doesn't

Question

I have been trying to access data on Amazon s3 using Spark on my local machine. I can access data with s3n but NOT with s3a, below are the configurations

Spark :- 2.0.1 pre built with hadoop 2.7

spark-defauts.conf parameters :- 
spark.jars.packages             com.amazonaws:aws-java-sdk:1.7.4,org.apache.hadoop:hadoop-aws:2.7.1
spark.hadoop.fs.s3a.impl        org.apache.hadoop.fs.s3a.S3AFileSystem
spark.hadoop.fs.s3a.access.key  accesskey
spark.hadoop.fs.s3a.secret.key  secretkey
spark.hadoop.fs.s3a.fast.upload true

Getting Error :-

Py4JJavaError: An error occurred while calling o235.partitions.

How can I fix this error?

You are probably trying to work with Seoul, Frankfurt or another bucket in a V4-auth-only region, but still have the endpoint set to the default of us-east.

change the value of fs.s3a.endpoint to the appropriate one. See "Working with buckets in different regions"

https://github.com/apache/hadoop/blob/trunk/hadoop-tools/hadoop-aws/src/site/markdown/tools/hadoop-aws/index.md

ps: be very careful with fast upload in hadoop 2.7; prone to OOMs unless you tune queue lengths. Completely rewritten for Hadoop 2.8 with the default buffering being to HDD.
