Ismaël Mejía commented on BEAM-313: ----------------------------------- [~amitsela] What do you think about this ? The use case is not pure Beam, but in practice it makes sense in particular to have something like spark-job-server. > Enable the use of an existing spark context with the SparkPipelineRunner > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: BEAM-313 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-313 > Project: Beam > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Abbass Marouni > > The general use case is that the SparkPipelineRunner creates its own Spark > context and uses it for the pipeline execution. > Another alternative is to provide the SparkPipelineRunner with an existing > spark context. This can be interesting for a lot of use cases where the Spark > context is managed outside of beam (context reuse, advanced context > management, spark job server, ...). > code sample : > https://github.com/amarouni/incubator-beam/commit/fe0bb517bf0ccde07ef5a61f3e44df695b75f076 -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
