Patrick Wendell commented on SPARK-1458: ---------------------------------------- Isn't it possible to just have the python function call the Java/Scala one? That way there is no new version number to be updated anywhere. > Expose sc.version in PySpark > ---------------------------- > > Key: SPARK-1458 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-1458 > Project: Spark > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: PySpark, Spark Core > Affects Versions: 0.9.0 > Reporter: Nicholas Chammas > Priority: Minor > > As discussed > [here|http://apache-spark-user-list.1001560.n3.nabble.com/programmatic-way-to-tell-Spark-version-td1929.html], > I think it would be nice if there was a way to programmatically determine > what version of Spark you are running. > The potential use cases are not that important, but they include: > # Branching your code based on what version of Spark is running. > # Checking your version without having to quit and restart the Spark shell. > Right now in PySpark, I believe the only way to determine your version is by > firing up the Spark shell and looking at the startup banner. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
