One key thing I forgot to mention is that I changed the avro version to 1.7.7 to get AVRO-1476.
I took a closer look at the jars, and what I noticed is that the assembly jars that work do not have the org.apache.avro.mapreduce package packaged into the assembly. For spark-1.0.1, org.apache.avro.mapreduce is always found. When creating an assembly from an older download of Spark 1.0.0, this package doesn't exist. In a recent download of Spark 1.0.0, the generated assembly with any HDP version also has org.apache.avro.mapreduce. I recompiled against the new download, and it also has the same problems even with an older version of HDP. So I think the bottom line issue here is that the generated assemblies that include org.apache.avro.mapreduce seems to cause this issue. If I use the older Spark 1.0.0 version, I am able to create assemblies that work. I noticed that assemblies generated from the newer versions are indeed bigger so it seems a bug was perhaps fixed to ensure that all dependencies are pulled into the final assembly, but is now causing this symptom that I have reported...
