Description

I am uncertain whether this is a bug, however I am getting the error below when running on a cluster (works locally), and have no idea what is causing it, or where to look for more information.
Any help is appreciated. Others appear to experience the same issue, but I have not found any solutions online.

Please note that this only happens with certain code and is repeatable, all my other spark jobs work fine.
