Let `config.json` be a small json file :

```
{
    "toto": 1
}

```

I made a simple code that read the json file with `sc.textFile` (because the file can be on S3, local or HDFS, so textFile is convenient)

```
import org.apache.spark.{SparkContext, SparkConf}

object testAwsSdk {
  def main( args:Array[String] ):Unit = {
    val sparkConf = new SparkConf().setAppName("test-aws-sdk").setMaster("local[*]")
    val sc = new SparkContext(sparkConf)
    val json = sc.textFile("config.json") 
    println(json.collect().mkString("\n"))
  }
}

```

The SBT file pull only `spark-core` library

```
libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
  "org.apache.spark" %% "spark-core" % "1.5.1" % "compile"
)

```

the program works as expected, writing the content of config.json on standard output. 

Now I want to link also with aws-java-sdk, amazon's sdk to access S3.

```
libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
  "com.amazonaws" % "aws-java-sdk" % "1.10.30" % "compile",
  "org.apache.spark" %% "spark-core" % "1.5.1" % "compile"
)

```

Executing the same code, spark throws the following Exception.

```

Reading the stack, it seems that when aws-java-sdk is linked, `sc.textFile` detects that the file is a json file and try to parse it with jackson assuming a certain format, which it cannot find of course. I need to link with aws-java-sdk, so my questions are:

1- Why adding `aws-java-sdk` modifies the behavior of `spark-core`?

2- Is there a work-around (the file can be on HDFS, S3 or local)?
