ZEPPELIN-1411. UDF with pyspark not working - object has no attribute 'parseDataType' ### What is this PR for? The root cause is that SQLContext's signature changes in spark 2.0. Spark 1.6 ``` def __init__(self, sparkContext, sqlContext=None): ``` Spark 2.0 ``` def __init__(self, sparkContext, sparkSession=None, jsqlContext=None): ``` So we need to create SQLContext using named parameters, otherwise it would take intp.getSQLContext() as sparkSession which cause the issue. ### What type of PR is it?
