SPRKPY1049

pyspark.sql.session.SparkSession.sparkContext has workaround

Description

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

Input code:

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

Output code:

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

Scenario

property SparkSession.sparkContext

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

Example:

# 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());
