    Description

      I'm receiving the following traceback:

      >>> sc.textFile('test.txt').repartition(10).collect()
      Traceback (most recent call last):
        File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
        File "/usr/local/Cellar/apache-spark/2.1.0/libexec/python/pyspark/rdd.py", line 810, in collect
          return list(_load_from_socket(port, self._jrdd_deserializer))

      UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0x80 in position 0: invalid start byte
      

      I created a textfile (text.txt) with standard linux newlines:

      a
      b
      
      d
      e
      f
      g
      h
      i
      j
      k
      l
      
      

      I think ran pyspark:

      UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0x80 in position 0: invalid start byte
      

      This really looks like a bug in the `serializers.py` code.
