Description

Currently, the Sedona entry point in different compute engines are very different and impose additional friction for new users. They also have to register Sedona kryo serializer and import many tedious classes.

 

I am proposing to add a new entry point called SedonaContext to unify the way that users interact with Sedona across different engines.
