Description

The master Maven build is currently broken because ReplSuite consistently fails with ClassCircularityErrors. See https://spark-tests.appspot.com/jobs/spark-master-test-maven-hadoop-2.3 for a timeline of the failure.

Here's the first build where this failed: https://amplab.cs.berkeley.edu/jenkins/job/spark-master-test-maven-hadoop-2.3/2000/

This appears to correspond to https://github.com/apache/spark/commit/6a68c5d7b4eb07e4ed6b702dd1536cd08d9bba7d

The same tests pass in the SBT build.
