Is it possible to get the current spark context settings in PySpark

Question

I m trying to get the path to spark worker dir for the current sparkcontext   If I explicitly set it as a config param  I can read it back out of SparkConf  but is there anyway to access the complete config  including all defaults  using PySpark

Not sure if you can get all the default settings easily  but specifically for the worker dir  it s quite straigt-forward   from pyspark import SparkFiles print SparkFiles getRootDirectory

Unfortunately  no  the Spark platform as of version 2 3 1 does not provide any way to programmatically access the value of every property at run time  It provides several methods to access the values of properties that were explicitly set through a configuration file  like spark-defaults conf   set through the SparkConf object when you created the session  or set through the command line when you submitted the job  but none of these methods will show the default value for a property that was not explicitly set  For completeness  the best options are    The Spark application   s web UI  usually at http    lt driver gt  4040  has an    Environment    tab with a property value table  The SparkContext keeps a hidden reference to its configuration in PySpark  and the configuration provides a getAll method  spark sparkContext  conf getAll    Spark SQL provides the SET command that will return a table of property values  spark sql  SET   toPandas    You can also use SET -v to include a column with the property   s description     These three methods all return the same data on my cluster

Yes   sc getConf   getAll    Which uses the method   SparkConf getAll     as accessed by  SparkContext sc getConf     Note the Underscore  that makes this tricky   I had to look at the spark source code to figure it out       But it does work   In  4   sc getConf   getAll   Out 4     u spark master   u local      u spark rdd compress   u True      u spark serializer objectStreamReset   u 100      u spark app name   u PySparkShell
