Github user pwendell commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/322#issuecomment-39674063 Hey @ueshin @manku-timma - as a simpler fix, would it be possible to just change the way SparkEnv captures the class loader? I think it was probably just an oversight when that was added. If there is not a context class loader, then it should just load the bootstrap class loader: ``` val classLoader = Option(Thread.currentThread.getContextClassLoader).getOrElse(getClass.getClassLoader) ```
