in the comments on SparkContext.objectFile it says: "It will also be pretty slow if you use the default serializer (Java serialization)"
this suggests the spark.serializer is used, which means i can switch to the much faster kryo serializer. however when i look at the code it uses Utils.deserialize, which is always using Java serialization. did i get that right? and is this desired? it seems straightforward to switch objectFile to use the serializer as specified by spark.serializer (although it might being in new classloader issues).
