[Python] Py4JJavaError: Using Pyspark in Jupyter notebook trying to run examples using "spark."

I'm trying to run the examples (for example spark/examples/src/main/python/ml/fpgrowth_example.py) for PySpark in Jupyter notebook. However, I am getting exceptions any time I try to do "spark.(some function)" In the case of this example, it is spark.createDataFrame, but I have also tried spark.read and it resulted in the same exception. I have also tried creating my own sparkSession, and using the one that is already in Jupyter notebook on start, and neither worked correctly. The main excpetion I can find is AnalysisException: 'java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.SessionHiveMetaStoreClient;'

Code:

# $example on$
from pyspark.ml.fpm import FPGrowth
# $example off$
from pyspark.sql import SparkSession

if __name__ == "__main__":
spark = SparkSession\
.builder\
.appName("FPGrowthExample")\
.getOrCreate()

# $example on$
df = spark.createDataFrame([
(0, [1, 2, 5]),
(1, [1, 2, 3, 5]),
(2, [1, 2])
], ["id", "items"])


Exception:
