Spark: task not serializable strange error

Viewed 82

This doesn't work and complains about serialization problems:

import java.nio.charset.StandardCharsets
import scala.util.Try
import java.net.URLDecoder

import spark.implicits._

val df = List("http%3A%2F%2Fforum.krasmama.ru%2Fviewforum.php%3Ff%3D247").toDF("URL")

def parseURL(s: String): String = {
    Try(URLDecoder.decode(s, StandardCharsets.UTF_8.name())).toOption.getOrElse(null)
}

val parseURLudf = udf[String, String](parseURL)

val myCond = col("URL").startsWith("http")
val df2 = df.filter(myCond)
val dfWithParsedUrl = df2.withColumn("URL", parseURLudf(col("URL")))
dfWithParsedUrl.show(5, truncate=30)

but if I eliminate the myCond variable and paste col("URL").startsWith("http") directly into filter, it works, but why?

Here's the error log:

Btw, I don't know if this can be reproduced locally, because in that case Spark doesn't necessarily serialize anything? (In case it only serializes when it needs to send code from driver to executors, sorry, I don't know the details of how it works).
