I am unable to use json4s-Jackson 3.2.11 within my spark 1.4.1 Streaming application.

Ok, I found the problem. As posted else where, you need to compile against jason4s 3.2.10. Apparently, doing so generates a binary which would then work with Spark (version 1.5 in my case. Same in some earlier versions as well). It has to do with the default parameter in the render() method which shows up in 3.2.11.
