Felix Cheung created SPARK-11199: ------------------------------------ Summary: Improve R context management story and add getOrCreate Key: SPARK-11199 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-11199 Project: Spark Issue Type: Sub-task Components: R Affects Versions: 1.5.1 Reporter: Felix Cheung Priority: Minor
Similar to SPARK-11114 Also from discussion in SPARK-10903: " Hossein Falaki added a comment - 08/Oct/15 13:06 +1 We have seen a lot of questions from new SparkR users about the life cycle of the context. My question is: are we going to remove or deprecate sparkRSQL.init()? I suggest we should, because right now calling that method creates a new Java SQLContext object, and having two of them prevents users form viewing temp tables. Felix Cheung added a comment - 08/Oct/15 17:13 +1 perhaps sparkR.init() should create sqlContext and/or hiveCtx together. But Hossein Falaki, as of now calling sparkRSQL.init() should return the same one as you can see https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/R/pkg/R/sparkR.R#L224 Hossein Falaki added a comment - 08/Oct/15 17:16 I meant the SQL Context: https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/R/pkg/R/sparkR.R#L236 This call should have been "getOrCreate."
