spark 1.4.0 java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.google.common.base.Stopwatch.elapsedMillis()J

The method elapsedMilis() has been removed in Guava 16. (Or was planned to be removed - anyway there is no method with this name on your listing.)

As far I remember there should be something like TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS in guava 16, or you can convert manually by divading 1000000000.0.
