- In Spark version 2.4, when a spark session is created via `cloneSession()`, the newly created spark session inherits its configuration from its parent `SparkContext` even though the same configuration may exist with a different value in its parent spark session. Since Spark 3.0, the configurations of a parent `SparkSession` have a higher precedence over the parent `SparkContext`.

## Upgrading from Spark SQL 2.4 to 2.4.1

- The value of `spark.executor.heartbeatInterval`, when specified without units like "30" rather than "30s", was
inconsistently interpreted as both seconds and milliseconds in Spark 2.4.0 in different parts of the code.
Unitless values are now consistently interpreted as milliseconds. Applications that set values like "30"
need to specify a value with units like "30s" now, to avoid being interpreted as milliseconds; otherwise,
the extremely short interval that results will likely cause applications to fail.

## Upgrading From Spark SQL 2.3 to 2.4

- In Spark version 2.3 and earlier, the second parameter to array_contains function is implicitly promoted to the element type of first array type parameter. This type promotion can be lossy and may cause `array_contains` function to return wrong result. This problem has been addressed in 2.4 by employing a safer type promotion mechanism. This can cause some change in behavior and are illustrated in the table below.
