pyspark.sql.session.SparkSession.sparkContext

This issue code has been deprecated since Spark Conversion Core Version 2.1.9

Message: pyspark.sql.session.SparkSession.sparkContext has a workaround

Category: Warning.

Description

This issue appears when the tool detects the usage of pyspark.sql.session.SparkSession.sparkContext which has a workaround.

Scenario

Input

Below is an example that creates a spark session and then uses the SparkContext property to print the appName.

print("APP Name :"+spark.sparkContext.appName())

Output

The tool adds the EWI SPRKPY1049 indicating that a workaround can be implemented.

#EWI: SPRKPY1049 => pyspark.sql.session.SparkSession.sparkContext has a workaround, see documentation for more info
print("APP Name :"+spark.sparkContext.appName())

Recommended fix

SparkContext is not supported in SnowPark but you can access the methods and properties from SparkContext directly from the Session instance.

# Pyspark
print("APP Name :"+spark.sparkContext.appName())
can be used in SnowPark removing the sparkContext as:
#Manual adjustment in SnowPark
print("APP Name :"+spark.appName());
