Deron Eriksson commented on SYSTEMML-1346: ------------------------------------------ Great idea [~mwdus...@us.ibm.com]. I'll create a JIRA to also accept SparkSession in Java/Scala MLContext API. > Python MLContext Should Accept New SparkSession > ----------------------------------------------- > > Key: SYSTEMML-1346 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SYSTEMML-1346 > Project: SystemML > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: APIs > Reporter: Mike Dusenberry > > Currently, our Python {{MLContext}} API only accepts the older > {{SparkContext}}, typically referred to with the variable name {{sc}}. We > should extend this API to accept either the older {{SparkContext}}, or the > newer {{SparkSession}}, the latter of which is typically referred to with the > variable name {{spark}}. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
