Kyro deserialization fails when trying to return java.util.List on javaRDD.collect()

Kyro deserialization fails when trying to return java.util.List when the collect API is called on a javaRDD

CODE
public class TestJob implements Job<List<Integer>> {

public List<Integer> call(JobContext jobContext) throws Exception {
Function<Integer, Integer> multiplyFunc = new Function<Integer, Integer>() {
public Integer call(Integer v1) throws Exception

{ return v1 * v1; }

};
List<Integer> list = jobContext.sc().parallelize(Arrays.asList(1, 2, 3)).map(multiplyFunc).collect();
return list;
}
}
