shao lo commented on SPARK-10550: --------------------------------- I figured out the root of the problem. The SQLListenter() is passed 'this' which in turn calls back to my implementation of sparkContext()...which is not ready to be called because the constructor hasn't completed. I added the sparkContext() override because intelij complained that it was necessary. It wasn't. I removed that and now all is good. > SQLListener error constructing extended SQLContext > --------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SPARK-10550 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-10550 > Project: Spark > Issue Type: Bug > Components: SQL > Affects Versions: 1.5.0 > Reporter: shao lo > Priority: Minor > > With spark 1.4.1 I was able to created a custom SQLContext class.
