SQLContext.gerorCreate is not a value - scala

Question

I am getting error SQLContext.gerorCreate is not a value of object org.apache.spark.SQLContext. This is my code
import org.apache.spark.SparkConf
import org.apache.spark.streaming.StreamingContext
import org.apache.spark.streaming.Seconds
import org.apache.spark.streaming.kafka.KafkaUtils
import org.apache.spark.sql.functions
import org.apache.spark.sql.SQLContext
import org.apache.spark.sql.types
import org.apache.spark.SparkContext
import java.io.Serializable
case class Sensor(id:String,date:String,temp:String,press:String)
object consum {
def main(args: Array[String]) {
val sparkConf = new SparkConf().setAppName("KafkaWordCount").setMaster("local[2]")
val ssc = new StreamingContext(sparkConf, Seconds(2))
val sc=new SparkContext(sparkConf)
val lines = KafkaUtils.createStream(ssc, "localhost:2181", "spark-streaming-consumer-group", Map("hello" -> 5))
def parseSensor(str:String): Sensor={
val p=str.split(",")
Sensor(p(0),p(1),p(2),p(3))
}
val data=lines.map(_._2).map(parseSensor)
val sqlcontext=new SQLContext(sc)
import sqlcontext.implicits._
data.foreachRDD { rdd=>
val sensedata=sqlcontext.getOrCreate(rdd.sparkContext)
}
I have tried with SQLContext.getOrCreate as well but same error.

Answer 1

There is no such getOrCreate function defined for neither SparkContext nor SQLContext.
getOrCreate function is defined for SparkSession instances from which SparkSession instances are created. And we get sparkContext instance or sqlContext instance from the SparkSession instance created using getOrCreate method call.
I hope the explanation is clear.
Updated
The explanation I did above is suitable for higher versions of spark. In the blog as the OP is referencing, the author is using spark 1.6 and the api doc of 1.6.3 clearly states
Get the singleton SQLContext if it exists or create a new one using the given SparkContext
