Hey community, I would like to *educate* myself about why all *sql implicits* (most notably conversion to Dataset API) are imported from *instance* of SparkSession and not using static imports.
Having this design one runs into problems like this <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32453886/spark-sql-dataframe-import-sqlcontext-implicits>. It requires the presence of SparkSession instance (the only one we have) in many parts of code. This makes code structuring harder. I assume that there is a *reason* why this design was *chosen*. Can somebody please point me to a resource or explain why is this? What is an advantage of this approach? Or why it is not possible to implement it with static imports? Thanks a lot! Jakub
