             Summary: Add option to disable HiveContext in spark-shell/pyspark
                 Key: SPARK-16013
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-16013
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: PySpark, Spark Shell
    Affects Versions: 1.6.1
            Reporter: Jeff Zhang


In spark2.0, we can disable hivecontext by setting 
spark.sql.catalogImplementation, but in spark 1.6 it seems there's no option to 
turn off hivecontext.  This bring several issues I can see.
* If user spark multiple spark-shell on the same machine but don't specify 
hive-site.xml will cause embedded derby conflict.
* For any spark downstream project, if they want to reuse the code in 
spark-shell, then they have to reply on whether hive profile is turned on to 
decide whether HiveContext is created. This doesn't make sense to me.

Although spark 2.0 don't have such issue, considering most of people are still 
use spark 1.x, this feature would benefit users I think.  I can create PR if 
this feature is reasonable for users.
