Github user ueshin commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/322#issuecomment-39560562 @manku-timma, I just wondered that we should restore the class loader in `registered` method like: ```scala val cl = Thread.currentThread.getContextClassLoader try { Thread.currentThread.setContextClassLoader(getClass.getClassLoader) logInfo("Registered with Mesos as executor ID " + executorInfo.getExecutorId.getValue) this.driver = driver val properties = Utils.deserialize[Array[(String, String)]](executorInfo.getData.toByteArray) executor = new Executor( executorInfo.getExecutorId.getValue, slaveInfo.getHostname, properties) } finally { Thread.currentThread.setContextClassLoader(cl) } ``` I think this is better than before. The http based class loader for `TaskRunner` is correctly set at [this point](https://github.com/manku-timma/spark-1/blob/89109d7bf2ce35e58a252bd7144438fc720ee362/core/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/executor/Executor.scala#L180). The flow you wrote would be: - when `registered` method is called - `MesosExecutorBackend` starts off - `MesosExecutorBackend` sets classloader - `MesosExecutorBackend` creates `Executor` - `Executor` creates `SparkEnv` - `MesosExecutorBackend` restore classlaoder - when `launchTask` method is called - `MesosExecutorBackend` calls `Executor.launchTask` method - `Executor` creates `TaskRunner` - `Executor` submits the task runner - when the task runner is run - `TaskRunner` sets classloader to the http based one (so that later classes can be downloaded from the master)
