AnalysisException: [ErrorClass=INVALID_PARAMETER_VALUE] Missing cloud file system scheme

[Madison]

I am trying to follow along Apache Spark Programming training module where the instructor creates events table from a parquet file like this:

%sql
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS events USING parquet OPTIONS (path "/mnt/training/ecommerce/events/events.parquet");

When I tried to run the above command, I got the following error message:

AnalysisException: [RequestId=... ErrorClass=INVALID_PARAMETER_VALUE] Missing cloud file system scheme

@Retired_mod Thanks for your response. I didn't provide cloud file system scheme in the path while creating the table using DataFrame API, but I was still able to create the table. 

%python
# File location and type
file_location = "/mnt/training/ecommerce/users/users.parquet"
file_type = "parquet"

df = spark.read.format(file_type) \
  .load(file_location)

display(df)

temp_table_name = "test_catalog.test_schema.users"
df.createOrReplaceTempView(temp_table_name)

When I provided the scheme in SQL, I got the following error:

%sql
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS events USING parquet OPTIONS (path "s3://mnt/training/ecommerce/events/events.parquet");

AnalysisException: No parent external location found for path 's3://mnt/training/ecommerce/events/events.parquet'
