Hm, interesting! I don't think many of us
have used
SparkSession.builder.getOrCreate repeatedly in the same process. What
happens if you manually stop the spark session first, (session.stop()
<https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/api/python/pyspark.sql.html?highlight=sparksession#pyspark.sql.SparkSession.stop>?)
or maybe try to explicitly create a new session via newSession()
<https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/api/python/pyspark.sql.html?highlight=sparksession#pyspark.sql.SparkSession.newSession>
?

Hi Luca!
Those were separate Yarn jobs I started later. When I got this error, I
found that the Yarn job corresponding to the SparkContext was marked as
"successful", but I still couldn't get SparkSession.builder.getOrCreate to
open a new one.
Any idea what might have caused that or how I could recover without
restarting the notebook, which could mean losing a lot of in-progress work?
I had already restarted that kernel so I don't know if I'll encounter this
problem again. If I do, I'll file a task.

Hey Neil,
there were two Yarn jobs running related to your notebooks, I just
killed them, let's see if it solves the problem (you might need to restart
again your notebook). If not, let's open a task and investigate :)
