----------------------------------
Summary: DOCS: Amend documentation on implicit sqlContext term
limitations due to use of 'def'
Key: TOREE-285
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TOREE-285
Project: TOREE
Issue Type: Task
Reporter: Gino Bustelo
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 0.1.0
Due to fixes merged for https://github.com/apache/incubator-toree/pull/15, we
made 'sc' and 'sqlContext' in the ScalaInterpreter be "def"s. This allows them
to be changed at runtime and code will pick the current one.
The main limitation of this approach is that now the user will not be able to
do
```
import sqlContext.implicits._
```
That is because import statements cannot contain variable terms. The workaround
to document is, that if the user wants to use the managed `sqlContext` to
import implicits, they need to do
```
val sqlc = sqlContext
import sqlc.implicits._
```
