Just to be clear, you're using jupyter hub + _notebook server_ with the latter configured to hit a single enterprise gateway - is that correct? > Once the spark context...

I see. So you're using spark/YARN to "distribute" the kernel into the cluster, but don't really need spark, so you close the spark context and continue running the kernel in...

Sorry, I should have mentioned this previously. If you don't need a spark context, set your [initialization-mode to `none`](https://github.com/jupyter/enterprise_gateway/blob/master/etc/kernelspecs/spark_python_yarn_cluster/kernel.json#L25).
