I am getting the following exception on running my spark streaming job.
The same job has been running fine since long and when I added two new machines to my cluster I see the job failing with the following exception.

On changing the default compression codec which is snappy to lzf the errors are gone !!
How can I fix this using snappy as the codec ? Is there any downside of using lzf as snappy is the default codec that ships with spark ?
Spark Version is 1.4.0
