@Leemoonsoo yeah I struggled to come up with a good answer for this. On the
one hand I think the default behaviour should be to use the standard SQLSpark
context, but by changing this it will break the default behaviour for users
that rely on Hive features.
You will notice that the sql context tests actually rely on Hive syntax
rather than spark sql compliant syntax. My vote would be to go with what is
correct early on in this projects life, but I know this will be irritating for
existing users.
Happy to revert to the previous behaviour.
