Receiving ClassCastException: org.wololo.geojson.FeatureCollection when trying to read a GeoJSON file in PySpark

Question

I am running the following python code in Apache Spark, I am also using Apache Sedona:

geo_json_file_location='hdfs:///data/datafile.geojson'
segments= GeoJsonReader.readToGeometryRDD(sc, geo_json_file_location)
segmt_df = Adapter.toDf(segments, spark)
segmt_df.show(5)
segmt_df.createOrReplaceTempView('geodata')

but I am getting the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/vagrant/py/pyspark-lidar-draw-jaywalking-data.py", line 152, in <module>
    segments= GeoJsonReader.readToGeometryRDD(sc, geo_json_file_location)

I am using Apache Spark 3.4.1, Python 3.8.10 and Sedona 1.5.0

• The GeoJSON file has no newline characters.
• I have verified that the GeoJSON is valid using geojson.io
