Description

We introduced `RuntimeConfig` in `SQLContext` in the PR https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/12669. Now, `SQLContext` has both `conf` and `runtimeConf`. `SQLContext` is being replaced by `SparkSession`. Like `SparkSession`, we should not have two configuration interfaces. That means, we should not expose `conf` to external users.
