Hi, Everyone. I have a piece of following code. When I run it, it occurred the error just like below, it seem that the SparkContext is not serializable, but i do not try to use the SparkContext except the broadcast. [In fact, this code is in the MLLib, I just try to broadcast the centerArrays ]
it can success in the redeceBykey operation, but failed at the collect operation, this confused me.
