Dale,

I basically have the same maven dependency above, but my code will not
compile due to not being able to reference to AvroSaver, though the
saveAsAvro reference compiles fine, which is weird.  Eventhough saveAsAvro
compiles for me, it errors out when running the spark job due to it not
being implemented (the job quits and says non implemented method or
something along those lines).

I will try going the spark shell and passing in the jar built from github
since I haven't tried that quite yet.
