Dongjoon Hyun commented on SPARK-29992: --------------------------------------- Thank you for filing a JIRA and making a PR, [~nishkamravi2]. Although it's not merged because Apache Spark community recommends `SparkSession` over `SparkContext`, this issue is a good reference for the others who have similar questions. BTW, there is a community guide for `Fix Version`. - https://spark.apache.org/contributing.html {code} Do not set the following fields: - Fix Version. This is assigned by committers only when resolved. - Target Version. This is assigned by committers to indicate a PR has been accepted for possible fix by the target version. {code} > Make access to getActive public > ------------------------------- > > Key: SPARK-29992 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-29992 > Project: Spark > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Spark Core > Affects Versions: 2.3.3, 2.3.4, 2.4.0, 2.4.1, 2.4.2, 2.4.4 > Reporter: Nishkam Ravi > Priority: Major > > Currently a simple get on activeContext is missing. getOrCreate creates a new > Spark context in the absence of an existing one but exposes activeContext > anyway. For use cases that need access to an existing context if one exists > without necessarily wanting to create one would benefit from this being > publicly accessible. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org
