Github user JoshRosen commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/2911#issuecomment-60430329 The "IOException: unexpected exception type" error here is actually masking the real error; this is due to us throwing something other than IOException from read/writeExternal; I've opened https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-4080 to fix this (working on a patch now). I'm pretty sure that this isn't caused by Snappy, but instead is an instance of some longer-standing non-deterministic serialization issue in our code.
