Why?

The cause is unknown. Spark 2 has been upgraded to jersey 2, but it still requires jersey 1 jars to be available.

Solution:

Download jersey-bundle-1.17.1.jar and copy it to $SPARK_HOME/jars  or use "--jars" option while calling spark-submit:

$ spark-submit --jars extra_jars/jersey-bundle-1.17.1.jar
