Hadoop - java.io.NotSerializableException

Question

I'm having a tough time figuring out the issue with Serialization in hadoop. Here's my class -

    public class CrawlerTweet  implements Serializable, Writable    {

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
    private String keywords;
    private List<TweetStatus> tweets;
    private long queryTime = 0;

    public CrawlerTweet() {}


        public CrawlerTweet(String keys, List<TweetStatus> tweets, long queryTime){
        this.keywords = keys;
        this.tweets = tweets;
        this.queryTime = queryTime;
    }

    public static CrawlerTweet read(DataInput in) throws IOException {
        CrawlerTweet ts= new CrawlerTweet();
        ts.readFields(in);
        return ts;
      }

    @Override
    public void readFields(DataInput din) throws IOException {
        queryTime = din.readLong();
        keywords = din.readLine();

        tweets.clear();
        IntWritable size = new IntWritable();
        size.readFields(din);
        int n = size.get();
        while(n -- > 0) {
            TweetStatus ts = new TweetStatus();
            ts.readFields(din);
            tweets.add(ts);
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void write(DataOutput dout) throws IOException {
        dout.writeChars(keywords);
        dout.writeLong(queryTime);
        IntWritable size = new IntWritable(tweets.size());
        size.write(dout);
        for (TweetStatus  ts  : tweets)
           ts.write(dout);
    }

    public String getKeywords(){
        return keywords;
    }

    public List<TweetStatus> getTweets(){
        return tweets;
    }

    public long getQueryTime(){
        return queryTime;
    }
}

If I implment both Serizable n WRitable interfaces, I get following exception,

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: mydat.twitter.dto.CrawlerTweet

And, if I implment Writable only, I get NotSerializableException -

Further information extracted from comments:

CrawlerTweet is packaged in BDAnalytics16.jar file.

export HADOOP_CLASSPATH=$HADOOP_CLASSPATH:/home/rgupta/bdAnalytics/lib/* 
hadoop jar $jarpath/BDAnalytics16.jar bigdat.twitter.crawler.CrawlTwitter \
       $crwlInputFile > $logsFldr/crawler_$1.log 2>&1 &

Help will be much appreciated! Thx!
