I could get hiveContext correctly in zeppelin master, could you try 0.7.1 which is released recently ?

"zeppelin.spark.useHiveContext" in the spark properties is set to true. As mentioned in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZEPPELIN-1728, I tried hc = HiveContext.getOrCreate(sc) but still its returning <pyspark.sql.context.SQLContext object at 0x7f707a9e9050> . My pyspark shell and jupyter notebook is returning <pyspark.sql.context.HiveContext at 0x7fa3421b1c90> without doing anything. How to get <pyspark.sql.context.HiveContext at 0x7fa3421b1c90> in the zeppelin notebook ? Regards, Meethu Mathew
