Description

One of the four branch-1.0 maven builds has been consistently failing due to servlet class signing errors:

https://amplab.cs.berkeley.edu/jenkins/job/Spark-1.0-Maven-pre-YARN/

For example:

ContextCleanerSuite:
Exception encountered when invoking run on a nested suite - class "javax.servlet.FilterRegistration"'s signer information does not match signer information of other classes in the same package *** ABORTED ***
  java.lang.SecurityException: class "javax.servlet.FilterRegistration"'s signer information does not match signer information of other classes in the same package

The fix for this issue is declaring proper exclusions for some implementations of the servlet API. I know how to do this, but I don't have time to take care of it now, so I'm tossing up this JIRA so facilitate work-stealing.
