How to handle the exception: "No suitable driver" while running spark-submit

I am trying to run a spark code which will read a table on postgres database and insert it into Hive table on HDFS. To do that I have set my connection properties in a properties file as below:

devUserName=usrname
devPassword=pwd
gpDriverClass=org.postgresql.Driver
gpDevUrl=jdbc:postgresql://ip:port/dbname?ssl=true&sslfactory=org.postgresql.ssl.NonValidatingFactory

And reading the properties file as:

  val conFile       = "testconnection.properties"
  val properties    = new Properties()
  properties.load(new FileInputStream(conFile))

  // GP Properties
  val connectionUrl = properties.getProperty("gpDevUrl")
  val devUserName   = properties.getProperty("devUserName")
  val devPassword   = properties.getProperty("devPassword")
  val driverClass   = properties.getProperty("gpDriverClass")

I am submitting the jar file in the following way:

SPARK_MAJOR_VERSION=2 spark-submit --conf spark.ui.port=4090 --driver-class-path /home/usrname/jars/postgresql-42.1.4.jar --master=yarn --deploy-mode=cluster --driver-memory 40g --driver-cores 3 --executor-memory 40g --executor-cores 20 --num-executors 5  --files /usr/hdp/current/spark2-client/conf/hive-site.xml,testconnection.properties --jars /home/usrname/jars/postgresql-42.1.4.jar --class com.partition.source.YearPartition splinter_2.11-0.1.jar  --keytab /home/usrname/usrname.keytab --principal usrname@DEV.COM --name Splinter --conf spark.executor.extraClassPath=/home/usrname/jars/postgresql-42.1.4.jar

The job fails with the following error message:

Code used to read the table on postgres:

def prepareFinalDF(splitColumns:List[String], textList: ListBuffer[String], allColumns:String, dataMapper:Map[String, String], partition_columns:Array[String], spark:SparkSession): DataFrame = {
  val execQuery = s"select ${allColumns}, 0 as ${flagCol} from schema.tablename where period_year='2017'"
  val yearDF    = spark.read.format("jdbc").option("url", connectionUrl).option("dbtable", s"(${execQuery}) as year2017").option("user", devUserName).option("password", devPassword).option("numPartitions",20).load()
  val totalCols:List[String] = splitColumns ++ textList
  val cdt                    = new ChangeDataTypes(totalCols, dataMapper)
  hiveDataTypes              = cdt.gpDetails()
  prepareHiveTableSchema(hiveDataTypes, partition_columns)
  val allColsOrdered         = yearDF.columns.diff(partition_columns) ++ partition_columns
  val allCols                = allColsOrdered.map(colname => org.apache.spark.sql.functions.col(colname))
  val resultDF               = yearDF.select(allCols:_*)
  val stringColumns          = resultDF.schema.fields.filter(x => x.dataType == StringType).map(s => s.name)
  val finalDF                = stringColumns.foldLeft(resultDF) {
    (tempDF, colName) => tempDF.withColumn(colName, regexp_replace(regexp_replace(col(colName), "[\r\n]+", " "), "[\t]+"," "))
  }
  finalDF
}

execQuery contains: select * from schema.tablename where period_year=2017

val dataDF = prepareFinalDF(splitColumns, textList, allColumns, dataMapper, partition_columns, spark)
dataDF.createOrReplaceTempView("preparedDF")
spark.sql("set hive.exec.dynamic.partition.mode=nonstrict")
spark.sql("set hive.exec.dynamic.partition=true")
spark.sql(s"INSERT OVERWRITE TABLE default.xx_gl_forecast PARTITION(${prtn_String_columns}) select * from preparedDF")

I checked the jar mentioned in the spark-submit and it is present in the dir given but it still fails when submitted. Could anyone tell me what is the mistake I am doing here ? Is there any particular order to be followed while giving parameters in spark-submit ?
