[jira] [Commented] (SPARK-10397) Make Python's SparkContext self-descriptive on "print sc"

["Alexey Grishchenko (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-10397?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14727473#comment-14727473 ] 

Alexey Grishchenko commented on SPARK-10397:
--------------------------------------------

I think this might be useful. But if this feature is to be implemented, it should be done for all the interactive languages (Scala, Python, R), not only for Python

>                 Key: SPARK-10397
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-10397
>             Project: Spark
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: PySpark
>    Affects Versions: 1.4.0
>            Reporter: Sergey Tryuber
>            Priority: Trivial
>
> When I execute in Python shell:
> {code}
> print sc
> {code}
> I receive something like:
> {noformat}
> <pyspark.context.SparkContext object at 0x35c0190>
> {noformat}
> But this is very inconvenient, especially if a user wants to create a good-looking and self-descriptive IPython Notebook. He would like to see some information about his Spark cluster.
> In contrast, H2O context does have this feature and it is very helpful.
