Spark-submit fails with yarn master, error- requirement failed at scala.Predef

My Spark job is failing with below exception and I am not able to figureout what requirement is missing which causing job failure:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: requirement failed

Spark-submit command:

spark-submit --conf spark.driver.extraJavaOptions=-Dlog4j.configuration=file:/xyz/conf/log4j.xml \
-DHOME=/xyz/transformation -DENV=e1 \
-DJOB=xformation --conf spark.local.dir=/warehouse/tmp/spark1489619325 \
--queue dev --master yarn --deploy-mode cluster \
--properties-file /xyz/conf/job.conf \
--files /xyz/conf/e1.properties --class TransformationJob /xyz/job.jar

The same program works fine with master as local.

Any suggestions would be great help. Thanks in advance.

I had a huge list of jars in classpath using '--jars' element and one of the jar was culprit, when I remove it from '--jars' the issue got resolved, I am still not sure why spark-submit was failing because of that jar.
