In that issue, the root cause was `describe` itself.
It was merged into both master and 1.6 branch.

>                 Key: SPARK-16449
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-16449
>             Project: Spark
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: PySpark
>    Affects Versions: 1.6.1
>         Environment: AWS EMR, Jupyter notebook
>            Reporter: Jeff Levy
>            Priority: Minor

> Goal: Take the output from `describe` on a large DataFrame, then use a loop to calculate `skewness` and `kurtosis` from pyspark.sql.functions for each column, build them into a DataFrame of two rows, then use `unionAll` to merge them together.
> Issue: Despite having the same column names, in the same order with the same dtypes, the `unionAll` fails with "Task not serializable".  However, if I build two test rows using dummy data then `unionAll` works fine.  Also, if I collect my results then turn them straight back into DataFrames, `unionAll` succeeds.  
> Step-by-step code and output with comments can be seen here: https://github.com/UrbanInstitute/pyspark-tutorials/blob/master/unionAll%20error.ipynb
> The issue appears to be in the way the loop in code block 6 is building the rows before parallelizing, but the results look no different from the test rows that do work.  I reproduced this on multiple datasets, so downloading the notebook and pointing it to any data of your own should replicate it.
