thanks for replying guys. Mayur: Indeed i tried the local mode (sparkmaster: local[5]) before and the application runs well, no serialization problem. The problem arises as soon as i try to run the app over the cluster.
Surendranauth: I just double checked my spark_classpath from spark_env.sh and we have a similar one. Is your team running spark with the mapr rpm [1]? Or did you compile it yourself?
