import sqlContext cannot be resolved although defined with SQLContext instance-CodePudding

I followed the solutions in here, however, I am still getting the "cannot resolve symbol SQLContext" error. ".implicits._" cannot be resolved either. What would be the reason for it?

Spark/Scala versions I use:

Scala 2.12.13
Spark 3.0.1 (without bundled Hadoop)

Here is my related code part:

    import org.apache.log4j.LogManager
    import org.apache.spark.{SparkConf, SparkContext}    

    object Count {
    
      def main(args: Array[String]) {
          ...
          ...

          val sc = new SparkContext(conf)         

          val sqlContext = new SQLContext(sc)
          import sqlContext.implicits._
      }}

CodePudding user response：

You didn't import SQLContext at all:

import org.apache.spark.sql.SQLContext

You should probably not use SQLContext anymore in the first place though:

As of Spark 2.0, this is replaced by SparkSession. However, we are keeping the class here for backward compatibility.

See how to use a SparkSession from SparkContext at How to create SparkSession from existing SparkContext and then import sparkSession.implicits._.
