This looks like a potential caching issue ? Try clearing out the local cache and running again. The command works well for me with spark 2.2.1

I have the same issue after clearing out the local cache (removing .ivy2 and .m2)..
Also using 2.2.1

I'm having the same issue on version 4.0.0, also deleted the .ivy2 and .m2 folders.
