Marco Zanghì commented on SPARK-9339:
-------------------------------------
I have a problem using Utils.classForName() . it returns always
nullpointException. Any Ideas?
> Use of Class.forName(String) should be replaced with version taking

> Key: SPARK-9339
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-9339
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.3.1
> Reporter: Mridul Muralidharan
> Attachments: screenshot-1yarn-cluster error.png

> In spark, multiple places have ability to take external class as input -
> example: listener.
> Other than in specific cases (like SparkEnv), the code typically calls
> Class.forName(clazzName)
> This works when the class is from within spark - but when the referenced
> class is from external jar (user provided), it tends to fail.
> For example, in 1.3 we get this when using custom listener:
> ERROR ApplicationMaster: User class threw exception: Exception when
> registering SparkListener
> org.apache.spark.SparkException: Exception when registering SparkListener

> Instead of
> "val listenerClass = Class.forName(className)" in
> SparkContext.setupAndStartListenerBus, we should use
> "val listenerClass = Class.forName(className, true,
> Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader)"
> Note - this is a common pattern in spark, and might be relevant elsewhere too.
