The fix for me was to changing the scope of hadoop-annotations from
"provided" to "compile" in pom.xml:

<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.hadoop</groupId>
<artifactId>hadoop-annotations</artifactId>
<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>

For some reason, it was the only dependency with scope "provided".
