Hi All,

I have a problem with broadcasting a serialize class object that returned by 
another not-serialize class, here is the sample code:

class A extends java.io.Serializable {
    def halo(): String = "halo"
}

class B {
    def getA() = new A
}

val list = List(1)

val b = new B
val a = b.getA

val p = sc.parallelize(list)

// this will fail
val bcA = sc.broadcast(a)
p.map(x => {
    bcA.value.halo()
})

// this will success
val bcA = sc.broadcast(new A)
p.map(x => {
    bcA.value.halo()
})


A is a serializable class, where B is not-serialize.
If I create a new object A through B method getA(), the map process will failed 
with exception "org.apache.spark.SparkException: Task not serializable, Caused 
by: java.io.NotSerializableException: $iwC$$iwC$B"

I don't know why spark will check if the B class serializable or not, is there 
a way to code this?

Best regards,
Henry
