[jira] [Comment Edited] (SPARK-7478) Add a SQLContext.getOrCreate to maintain a singleton instance of SQLContext

Add a SQLContext.getOrCreate to maintain a singleton instance of SQLContext --- Key: SPARK-7478 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-7478 Project: Spark Issue Type: New Feature Components: SQL Reporter: Tathagata Das Assignee: Tathagata Das Priority: Blocker Having a SQLContext singleton would make it easier for applications to use a lazily instantiated single shared instance of SQLContext when needed. It would avoid problems like 1. In REPL/notebook environment, rerunning the line {{val sqlContext = new SQLContext}} multiple times created different contexts while overriding the reference to previous context, leading to issues like registered temp tables going missing. 2. In Streaming, creating SQLContext directly leads to serialization/deserialization issues when attempting to recover from DStream checkpoints. See [SPARK-6770]. This can be solved by {{SQLContext.getOrCreate}} which get or creates a new singleton instance of SQLContext using either a given SparkContext or a given SparkConf -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) - To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org
