[SPARK-1403] Move the class loader creation back to where it was in 0.9.0 [SPARK-1403] I investigated why spark 0.9.0 loads fine on mesos while spark 1.0.0 fails. What I found was that in SparkEnv.scala, while creating the SparkEnv object, the current thread's classloader is null. But in 0.9.0, at the same place, it is set to org.apache.spark.repl.ExecutorClassLoader . I saw that https://github.com/apache/spark/commit/7edbea41b43e0dc11a2de156be220db8b7952d01 moved it to it current place. I moved it back and saw that 1.0.0 started working fine on mesos. I just created a minimal patch that allows me to run spark on mesos correctly. It seems like SecurityManager's creation needs to be taken into account for a correct fix. Also moving the creation of the serializer out of SparkEnv might be a part of the right solution. PTAL.
