Hi,

I wonder how I can pass parameters to RDD functions with closures. If I do it 
in a following way, Spark crashes with NotSerializableException:

class TextToWordVector(csvData:RDD[Array[String]]) {

  val n = 1
  lazy val x = csvData.map{ stringArr => stringArr(n)}.collect()
}

Exception:
Job aborted due to stage failure: Task not serializable: 
java.io.NotSerializableException: org.apache.spark.mllib.util.TextToWordVector
org.apache.spark.SparkException: Job aborted due to stage failure: Task not 
serializable: java.io.NotSerializableException: 
org.apache.spark.mllib.util.TextToWordVector
                at 
org.apache.spark.scheduler.DAGScheduler.org$apache$spark$scheduler$DAGScheduler$$failJobAndIndependentStages(DAGScheduler.scala:1038)


This message proposes a workaround, but it didn't work for me:

What is the best practice?

Best regards, Alexander
