title: How to set hadoop configuration values from pyspark
body: <p>The Scala version of SparkContext has the property</p>
  
  <pre><code>sc.hadoopConfiguration
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have successfully used that to set Hadoop properties (in Scala)</p>
  
  <p>e.g.    </p>
  
  <pre><code>sc.hadoopConfiguration.set("my.mapreduce.setting","someVal")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However the python version of SparkContext lacks that accessor. Is there any way to set Hadoop configuration values into the Hadoop Configuration used by the PySpark context? </p>
