Github user pwendell commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/15#issuecomment-38709268 I guess I don't understand the first problem. Could you explain it in more detail? Can you produce a test case where, even if the delegation order is fixed, there is an error? As far as I can tell, when an executor is created it will properly set the delegation order. So in the case where the executor is running inside the same JVM as the driver, the delegation order will ensure that you can't have duplicate class definitions in different loaders.
