This pull request amends the broken #3062 allow Spark 2.2 to work.
Please note this won't work in Spark <=2.1 as sc.removeSparkListener was implemented in Spark 2.2. (So perhaps a more general method is better, although that is what was attempted in #3062)
This PR fixes: #3208, #3151 and the discussion in #1927.
I do find it strange that #3062 dose not work in Spark 2.2, it's probably due to some sort of public/private issue in the org.apache.spark.scheduler.LiveListenerBus class inheritance (In Spark itself). The error is: `java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.spark.scheduler.LiveListenerBus.removeListener(Ljava/lang/Object;)V`
