Hello Stephen,

My goal was to run spark on a cluster that already had spark and hadoop
installed. So the right thing to do was to remove these dependencies in my
spark build. I wrote a
blog<http://myresearchdiaries.blogspot.com/2014/05/building-apache-spark-jars.html>
about
it so that it might help.

Here is the set of lines that changed my life

libraryDependencies += "org.apache.hadoop" % "hadoop-client" %
"2.0.0-mr1-cdh4.4.0" % "provided"

libraryDependencies += "org.apache.hadoop" % "hadoop-core" %
"2.0.0-mr1-cdh4.4.0" % "provided"

libraryDependencies += "org.apache.spark" %% "spark-core" %
"0.9.0-incubating" % "provided"

libraryDependencies += "org.apache.spark" %% "spark-mllib" %
"0.9.0-incubating" % "provided"

HTH,
Shivani
PS: @Koert: I think what happened was that the akka that comes packaged
with Spark was overriding the akka configuration parameters set by the akka
dependencies. Since Spark comes with akka, one should probably not have
akka dependencies explicitly specified
