    @HyukjinKwon Sorry for the late reply. Yes, this returns a JVM instance. 
    In the scala code, ```SparkSession.getActiveSession``` returns an 
```Option[SparkSession]```
    I am not sure how to do a python equivalent of Scala's ```Option```. In the 
following code, is there a way to wrap the python ```session``` in else path to 
something equivalent of Scala's ```Option```?  If not, can I just return the 
python ```session```?
    ```
            if self._jsparkSession.getActiveSession() is None:
                return None
            else:
                return self.__class__(self._sc, 
self._jsparkSession.getActiveSession().get())
    ```
