Spark Type mismatch: cannot convert from DataFrame to Dataset

Question

I am getting a weird error saying

Type mismatch: cannot convert from DataFrame to Dataset<Row>

When I am trying to implement the example code from here.

This is the line which gives me the error.

    Dataset<Row> verDF = spark.createDataFrame(uList, User.class);

I also took a look at the documentation of Spark here, which gives the same example. But I am not sure why it is not working in my case.

Here are my imports:

import org.apache.spark.api.java.JavaRDD;
import org.apache.spark.api.java.function.Function;
import org.apache.spark.graphx.*;
import org.apache.spark.graphx.lib.*;
import org.apache.spark.rdd.RDD;
import org.apache.spark.sql.Dataset;
import org.apache.spark.sql.Row;
import org.apache.spark.storage.StorageLevel;
import org.graphframes.GraphFrame;

import scala.Tuple2;
import scala.collection.Iterator;
import scala.collection.immutable.Map;
import scala.collection.immutable.Seq;

Resolved the issue. I used the following dependencies and used the SparkSession instance to create the dataframe.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.spark</groupId>
    <artifactId>spark-core_2.11</artifactId>
    <version>2.0.0-cloudera1-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.spark</groupId>
    <artifactId>spark-sql_2.11</artifactId>
    <version>2.0.0-cloudera1-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
