Using Spark Context as an attribute of a class cannot be used

[aecc]

Hello guys,

I'm using Spark 1.0.0 and Kryo serialization
In the Spark Shell, when I create a class that contains as an attribute the
SparkContext, in this way:

class AAA(val s: SparkContext) { }
val aaa = new AAA(sc)

and I execute any action using that attribute like:

val myNumber = 5
aaa.s.textFile("FILE").filter(_ == myNumber.toString).count
or
aaa.s.parallelize(1 to 10).filter(_ == myNumber).count

Returns a NonSerializibleException:

org.apache.spark.SparkException: Job aborted due to stage failure: Task not
serializable: java.io.NotSerializableException:

Any thoughts about how to solve this issue and how can I give a workaround
to it? I'm actually developing an Api that will need the usage of this
SparkContext several times in different locations, so I will needed to be
accessible.

Thanks a lot for the cooperation
