TypeTags are unfortunately not thread-safe in Scala 2.10. They were still somewhat experimental at the time so we decided not to use them. If you want though, you can probably design other APIs that pass a TypeTag around (e.g. make a method that takes an RDD[T] but also requires an implicit TypeTag[T]).
