Gino Bustelo created TOREE-285: ---------------------------------- 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._ ``` -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
