Description

spark-shell doesn't allow text to be displayed on input

Failed to created SparkJLineReader: java.io.IOException: Permission denied
Falling back to SimpleReader.

The driver has 2 workers on 2 virtual machines and error free apart from the above line so I think it may have something to do with the introduction of the new SecurityManager.

The upshot is that when you type nothing is displayed on the screen. For example, type "test" at the scala prompt and you won't see the input but the output will show.

scala> <console>:11: error: package test is not a value
test
