I've also tried downloading the JARs directly and passing them directly spark-submit --jars /home/hadoop/elasticsearch-spark-20_2.10-5.0.0.jar but this yields the same java.lang.NoSuchMethodError.
I've also tried using spark-submit --package without success.
I noticed that the downloaded JAR's do have a version for Scala 2.11. I'm curious why and why this version is not in Maven so it can be available as a package?
