in my codebase i would like to gradually transition to SparkSession, so while i start using SparkSession i also want a SQLContext to be available as before (but with a deprecated warning when i use it). this should be easy since SQLContext is now a wrapper for SparkSession.
so basically: val session = SparkSession.builder.set(..., ...).getOrCreate() val sqlc = new SQLContext(session) however this doesnt work, the SQLContext constructor i am trying to use is private. SparkSession.sqlContext is also private. am i missing something? a non-gradual switch is not very realistic in any significant codebase, and i do not want to create SparkSession and SQLContext independendly (both from same SparkContext) since that can only lead to confusion and inconsistent settings.
