I believe it's an illegal cast. This is the line of code:
> RDD<RDD<ArrayList<Integer>>> windowed =
> RDDFunctions.fromRDD(vals.rdd(), vals.classTag()).sliding(20, 1);
with vals being a JavaRDD<ArrayList<Integer>>.  Explicitly casting
doesn't work either:
> RDD<RDD<ArrayList<Integer>>> windowed = (RDD<RDD<ArrayList<Integer>>>)
> RDDFunctions.fromRDD(vals.rdd(), vals.classTag()).sliding(20, 1);
Did I miss something?
