Github user manku-timma commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/322#issuecomment-39676303 @pwendell: I tested your fix to SparkEnv.scala (after reverting my earlier change). It does not work. SparkEnv's loader turns out to be `sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader@12360be0` and it fails with the following error. ``` java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org/apache/spark/io/LZFCompressionCodec at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method) at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:249) at org.apache.spark.io.CompressionCodec$.createCodec(CompressionCodec.scala:45) at org.apache.spark.io.CompressionCodec$.createCodec(CompressionCodec.scala:41) at org.apache.spark.broadcast.HttpBroadcast$.initialize(HttpBroadcast.scala:110) at org.apache.spark.broadcast.HttpBroadcastFactory.initialize(HttpBroadcast.scala:71) at org.apache.spark.broadcast.BroadcastManager.initialize(Broadcast.scala:82) at org.apache.spark.broadcast.BroadcastManager.<init>(Broadcast.scala:69) at org.apache.spark.SparkEnv$.create(SparkEnv.scala:195) at org.apache.spark.executor.Executor.<init>(Executor.scala:105) at org.apache.spark.executor.MesosExecutorBackend.registered(MesosExecutorBackend.scala:56) ``` My patch to `SparkEnv.scala`: ``` @@ -142,7 +142,10 @@ object SparkEnv extends Logging { conf.set("spark.driver.port", boundPort.toString) } - val classLoader = Thread.currentThread.getContextClassLoader + val classLoader = Option(Thread.currentThread.getContextClassLoader) + .getOrElse(getClass.getClassLoader) ```
