Spark - java.lang.ClassCastException: cannot assig

Question

public class SparkDemo {

    @SuppressWarnings({ "resource" })
    public static void main(String[] args) {

         SparkConf conf = new SparkConf().setAppName("Spark APP").setMaster("spark://xxx.xxx.xxx.xx:7077");


        JavaSparkContext sc = new JavaSparkContext(conf);

        JavaRDD<String> lines = sc.textFile("/Users/mchaurasia/file.txt");

        JavaRDD<String> words = lines.flatMap((String s) -> {
            return Arrays.asList(s.split(" "));
        });

        JavaPairRDD<String, Integer> pairs = words.mapToPair((String s) -> {
            return new Tuple2<String, Integer>(s, 1);
        });

        JavaPairRDD<String, Integer> counts = pairs.reduceByKey((a, b) -> a + b);

        for (Tuple2<String, Integer> result : counts.collect()) {
            System.out.println(result._1 + " , " + result._2);
        }

        sc.close();
        System.out.println("================= DONE ===================");
    }

The above code is working fine when I set master to local(setMaster("local")), when I use setMaster("spark://xxx.xxx.xxx.xx:7077"), I am getting following error --
