[SPARK-10176][SQL] Show partially analyzed plans when checkAnswer fails to analyze This PR takes over https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/8389. This PR improves `checkAnswer` to print the partially analyzed plan in addition to the user friendly error message, in order to aid debugging failing tests. In doing so, I ran into a conflict with the various ways that we bring a SQLContext into the tests. Depending on the trait we refer to the current context as `sqlContext`, `_sqlContext`, `ctx` or `hiveContext` with access modifiers `public`, `protected` and `private` depending on the defining class. I propose we refactor as follows: 1. All tests should only refer to a `protected sqlContext` when testing general features, and `protected hiveContext` when it is a method that only exists on a `HiveContext`. 2. All tests should only import `testImplicits._` (i.e., don't import `TestHive.implicits._`) You can merge this pull request into a Git repository by running: $ git pull https://github.com/cloud-fan/spark cleanupTests Alternatively you can review and apply these changes as the patch at: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/8584.patch To close this pull request, make a commit to your master/trunk branch with (at least) the following in the commit message: This closes #8584 ---- commit f1a21689dee5968fa72da84a897e137dd25629ab Author: Wenchen Fan <cloud0...@outlook.com> Date: 2015-09-03T14:02:31Z clean up sql tests ---- --- If your project is set up for it, you can reply to this email and have your reply appear on GitHub as well.
