Hi @Praneeht456, thanks for checking out Thunder!

We recently published a new version of Thunder (1.0) that has made some significant changes. One of those is that we decided drop the ThunderContext in favor of making Thunder look my like a regular Python package. If you did installed Thunder using pip, then you just need to start up PySpark and import thunder to get going.

I noticed in your Issue over on the docs repo that you mentioned you were playing around with the code from Advanced Data Analytics with Spark. All of that code was definitely based on a much earlier version of the project. For some up to date tutorials, checkout the "Tutorials" section on our recently updated docs page: www.thunder-project.org.
