Right, you can use SparkContext and SQLContext in multiple threads. They
are thread safe.

What is the best way to submit multiple tasks?

[Saif.A.Ellafi]

Hi all,

I have a process where I do some calculations on each one of the columns of a 
dataframe.
Intrinsecally, I run across each column with a for loop. On the other hand, 
each process itself is non-entirely-distributable.

To speed up the process, I would like to submit a spark program for each 
column, any suggestions? I was thinking on primitive threads sharing a spark 
context.

Thank you,
Saif
