---------------------------------------

             Summary: uiWebUrl is not accessible to JavaSparkContext or 
pyspark.SparkContext
                 Key: SPARK-17437
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-17437
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Java API, PySpark, Web UI
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0
            Reporter: Adrian Petrescu


The Scala version of {{SparkContext}} has a handy field called {{uiWebUrl}} 
that tells you which URL the SparkUI spawned by that instance lives at. This is 
often very useful because the value for {{spark.ui.port}} in the config is only 
a suggestion; if that port number is taken by another Spark instance on the 
same machine, Spark will just keep incrementing the port until it finds a free 
one. So, on a machine with a lot of running PySpark instances, you often have 
to start trying all of them one-by-one until you find your application name.

Scala users have a way around this with {{uiWebUrl}} but Java and Python users 
do not. This ticket (and the attached PR) fix this in the most straightforward 
way possible, simply propagating this field through the {{JavaSparkContext}} 
and into pyspark through the Java gateway.

Please let me know if any additional documentation/testing is needed.
