Github user vijoshi commented on a diff in the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/16119#discussion_r92333556 --- Diff: python/pyspark/sql/context.py --- @@ -72,8 +72,13 @@ def __init__(self, sparkContext, sparkSession=None, jsqlContext=None): self._sc = sparkContext self._jsc = self._sc._jsc self._jvm = self._sc._jvm + if sparkSession is None: - sparkSession = SparkSession(sparkContext) + if sparkContext is SparkContext._active_spark_context: + sparkSession = SparkSession.builder.getOrCreate() --- End diff -- okay - I wanted to avoid adding code to the new SparkSession class to handle this compatibility issue arising out of the now deprecated SQLContext class. Looks like the python impl of SparkSession builder does not allow a SparkContext to be passed in. Do we want to change the public builder interface for this ?
