[jira] [Updated] (SPARK-1458) Add programmatic way to determine Spark version

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-1458?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Nicholas Chammas updated SPARK-1458:
------------------------------------

    Description: 
As discussed [here](http://apache-spark-user-list.1001560.n3.nabble.com/programmatic-way-to-tell-Spark-version-td1929.html), I think it would be nice if there was a way to programmatically determine what version of Spark you are running. 

The potential use cases are not that important, but they include:
# Branching your code based on what version of Spark is running.
# Checking your version without having to quit and restart the Spark shell.

Right now in PySpark, I believe the only way to determine your version is by firing up the Spark shell and looking at the startup banner.
