This is not an answer to your question but this came up when searching for my problem. I was getting a NoSuchMethod exception in formats.emptyValueStrategy.replaceEmpty(value) in json4s's 'render'. The reason was I was building with 3.2.11 but Spark was linking 3.2.10. I downgraded to 3.2.10 and my problem went away. Your question helped me understand what was going on (that Spark was linking a conflicting version of json4s) and I was able to resolve the problem, so thanks.
