Notes
In Spark Classic, a temporary view referenced in spark.table is resolved immediately. In Spark Connect, it is lazily analyzed, so if a view is dropped, modified, or replaced after spark.table, the execution may fail or generate different results.
Examples
spark.range(5).createOrReplaceTempView("table1")
spark.table("table1").sort("id").show()
