Github user srowen commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/20347 Yes, you can already get the new semantics here with `new JavaSparkContext(SparkContext.getOrCreate())`. Yes, probably better to add a new method, or else, decide that it's not worth a new API method just as a shortcut for the above. Maybe that's the right conclusion, unless @mengxr comes back with a particular reason to change the behavior slightly.
