Fork SparkSession with option to inherit a copy of the SessionState. ## What changes were proposed in this pull request? Forking a newSession() from SparkSession currently makes a new SparkSession that does not retain SessionState (i.e. temporary tables, SQL config, registered functions etc.) This change adds a flag newSession(inheritSessionState: Boolean) which can create a new SparkSession with a copy of the parent's SessionState. ## How was this patch tested?
