Apache spark PySpark在失败时重新启动SparkContext

我需要为配置单元数据库中的每个表计算一些聚合。我的代码类似于：

sc = SparkContext()
sqlContext = HiveContext(sc)

showtables_df = sqlContext.sql('show tables in my_db')
for onlinetable in showtables_df.select('tableName').rdd.collect():
    hive_table_name = onlinetable['tableName']
    try:
        table_df = sqlContext.sql('SELECT * FROM my_db.' + hive_table_name)
        table_df.count() # sample action
    except Exception as e:
        logger.error('Error in table ' + hive_table_name)
        logger.error(type(e))
        logger.error(e)

在某一时刻，一个巨大的表读取导致引发异常，SparkContext关闭。从这一点开始，对sqlContext的每次调用都会失败：

[2018-05-20 07:40:36] ERROR - my_table: An error occurred while calling o40.sql.
: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot call methods on a stopped SparkContext.

我正在使用Spark版本1.6.1，使用--master Thread--deploy mode client运行作业

...
except Exception as e:
    logger.error('Error in table ' + hive_table_name)
    logger.error(type(e))
    logger.error(e)
    if sc._jsc.sc().isStopped():
        sc = SparkContext()
        sqlContext = HiveContext(sc)
