I have a main class in a file which creates a sqlContext object. However, I have numerous classes which utilize sqlContext, yet I can't find a good way to pass it between classes. The main issue is that I need to call import sqlContext.implicits._, and I caot put this import statement as part of the object variables.
I have tried to do this within the corresponding methods (where a sqlContext is passed in) and by creating a new object, but these do not work.
