Ignite connection failing with Spark Structured streaming

Question

I'm trying to integrate ignite to my spark structured streaming application.
Following are the dependencies I included for ignite
- ignite-core,
- ignite-spark,
- ignite-spring,
- cache-api

Spark config for ignite

private static final String CONFIG = "C:\\apache-ignite-2.7.6-bin\\config\\default-config.xml";
spark.read().format(IgniteDataFrameSettings.FORMAT_IGNITE())
.option(IgniteDataFrameSettings.OPTION_CONFIG_FILE(), CONFIG)
.option(IgniteDataFrameSettings.OPTION_TABLE(), "person")
.load();

Totally clueless on how to resolve the below error, as the config is the default config provided in the binary. All the dependencies are included.
- Ignite 2.7.6
- Spark 2.4.0

 ERROR StpMain: Error

Should also comment that the Spark 2.4 is not supported yet.

Here is the ticket on Apache Ignite JIRA, you could track the status here https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-12054
