SparkR Error while instantiating 'org.apache.spark.sql.hive.HiveSessionState'

I am installing SparkR in my Windows 8.1 from this tutorial https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/setting-up-sparkr-windows-machine-ramabhadran-kapistalam. I ended it so I guess it's well implemented. The problem is when I try to run an example with a simple Data Frame:

Error in handleErrors(returnStatus, conn) : 
  java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Error while instantiating 'org.apache.spark.sql.hive.HiveSessionState':

This is my code in R:

 Sys.setenv(SPARK_HOME = "C:/Spark/spark-2.1.1-bin-hadoop2.7")
 .libPaths(c(file.path(Sys.getenv("SPARK_HOME"),"R","lib"), .libPaths()))
 sparkR.session(appName = "SparkR-DataFrame-example")
 df <- as.DataFrame(faithful)

And i saw a solution that I had to configure the sparkr session by adding:

sparkR.session(master = "local[*]", sparkConfig = list(spark.driver.memory = "1g", spark.sql.warehouse.dir = "file:///somelocaldirectory"))

I tried to edit the spark.sql.warehouse.dir with a data file but the error persisted
