Spark 1.5.1, Cassandra Connector 1.5.0-M2, Cassandra 2.1, Scala 2.10, NoSuchMethodError guava dependency

Question

New to the Spark environment (and fairly new to Maven) so I'm struggling with how to send the dependencies I need correctly.

It looks like Spark 1.5.1 has a guava-14.0.1 dependency which it tries to use and the isPrimitive was added in 15+. What's the correct way to ensure my uber-jar wins? I've tried spark.executor.extraClassPath in my spark-defaults.conf to no avail.

Duplicate to this [question]:Spark 1.5.1 + Scala 2.10 + Kafka + Cassandra = Java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: but for Maven essentially (don't have rep to comment yet)

Stripped down my dependencies to this:

Shaded my JAR with all the dependencies using this:

Fixed my dependency issue by hard-including the guava jars I needed in /conf/spark-defaults.conf.

spark.driver.extraClassPath /home/osboxes/Packages/guava-18.0.jar
spark.executor.extraClassPath /home/osboxes/Packages/guava-18.0.jar
