Your lambda expressions on the RDDs in the SecondRollup class are closing around the context, and Spark has special logic to ensure that all variables in a closure used on an RDD are Serializable - I hate linking to Quora, but there's a good explanation here: http://www.quora.com/What-does-Closure-cleaner-func-mean-in-Spark

You're probably sending the object that's holding the SparkContext reference over the network at some point (e.g. it's used by a task run in an executor), and that's why you were getting that exception. Apologies - the full error is as follows. All I did here was remove the @transient annotation from the sc variable in my class constructor. In addition, the full code for the classes and launching process is included below.
