the exact cause for this.
The assembly jar produced by `mvn package` will, by default, include all
of Spark's dependencies, including Hadoop and some of its ecosystem projects.
On YARN deployments, this causes multiple versions of these to appear on
executor classpaths: the version packaged in the Spark assembly and the version
on each node, included with yarn.application.classpath. The `hadoop-provided`
profile builds the assembly without including Hadoop-ecosystem projects, like
ZooKeeper and Hadoop itself.
+# Building with SBT
+Maven is the official recommendation for packaging Spark, and is the
"build of reference".
+But SBT is supported for day-to-day development since it can provide much
faster iterative
+compilation. More advanced developers may wish to use SBT.

+The SBT build is derived from the Maven POM files, and so the same Maven
profiles and variables

Hmm, I don't know enough to make a recommendation; I'll leave that to

`sbt` than before. Maybe that's a good thing.
