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)
```
