Message: pyspark.sql.context.SQLContext is not required

Category: Warning.

Description

This issue appears when the tool detects the usage of pyspark.sql.context.SQLContext, which is not required.

Scenario

Input

Here we have an example with different SparkContext overloads.

from pyspark import SQLContext
​
my_sc1 = SQLContext(myMaster, myAppName, mySparkHome, myPyFiles, myEnvironment, myBatctSize, mySerializer, my_conf1)
my_sc2 = SQLContext(conf=my_conf2)
my_sc3 = SQLContext()

Output

The output code has commented the line for pyspark.SQLContext, and replaces the scenarios with a reference to a configuration. Note that the variables my_sc1 and my_sc2 that contains Spark properties may be not required or it will to be adapted to fix the code.

#EWI: SPRKPY1007 => pyspark.sql.context.SQLContext is not required
#from pyspark import SQLContext
pass

#EWI: SPRKPY1007 => pyspark.sql.context.SQLContext is not required
sql_context1 = my_sc1
#EWI: SPRKPY1007 => pyspark.sql.context.SQLContext is not required
sql_context2 = my_sc2
