> using a maven plugin and an assembly job.xml a job.jar is created with all dependencies including transitive ones. This job.jar is in mahout/spark/target and is included in the classpath when a Spark job is run. This allows dependency classes to be found at runtime but the job.jar include a great deal of things not needed that are duplicates of classes found in the main mrlegacy job.jar.  If the job.jar is removed, drivers will not find needed classes. A better way needs to be implemented for including class dependencies.
> I'm not sure what that better way is so am leaving the assembly alone for now. Whoever picks up this Jira will have to remove it after deciding on a better method.
