I got this error while starting Spoon on a PC that gets a lot of blue screens due to crappy hardware. In fact, that problem prevents Spoon from starting.
I don’t know why, but this is the same error at each blue screen: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to create the database cache

To fix the issue, you need to delete the db.cache file.
On my Windows computer, it’s located under C:\Users\patlaf\.kettle\db.cache-5.0.1-stable .
Then you can start Spoon again!
