+## Global Temporary View
+
+Temporay views in Spark SQL are session-scoped and will disappear if the
session that creates it
+terminates. If you want to have a temporary view that is shared among all
sessions and keep alive
+until the Spark application terminiates, you can create a global temporary
view. Global temporary
+view is tied to a system preserved database `global_temp`, and we must use
the qualified name to
+refer it, e.g. `SELECT * FROM global_temp.view1`.
