You cannot pass your jobConf object inside any of the transformation function in spark (like map, mapPartitions, etc.) since org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.Job is not Serializable. You can use KryoSerializer (See this doc http://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/tuning.html#data-serialization), We usually converts the JobConf into ByteArray and pass over the byteArray object inside the map and from there we creates the jobConf (new variable) with the data inside byteArray object.
