I created https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-2620 to track this.
Maybe useful to know, this is a regression on Spark 1.0.0. I tested the
same sample code on 0.9.1 and it worked (we have several jobs using case
classes as key aggregators, so it better does)

Just to narrow down the issue, it looks like the issue is in 'reduceByKey'
and derivates like 'distinct'.
groupByKey() seems to work
sc.parallelize(ps).map(x=> (x.name,1)).groupByKey().collect
res: Array[(String, Iterable[Int])] = Array((charly,ArrayBuffer(1)),
(abe,ArrayBuffer(1)), (bob,ArrayBuf
Using a case class as a key doesn't seem to work properly. [Spark 1.0.0]
A minimal example:
case class P(name:String)
val ps = Array(P("alice"), P("bob"), P("charly"), P("bob"))
sc.parallelize(ps).map(x=> (x,1)).reduceByKey((x,y) => x+y).collect
[Spark shell local mode] res : Array[(P, Int)] = Ar
