Susheel Aroskar developed a client-side code location transmission feature for the apache/spark repository, enabling Spark Connect clients to send function names, file names, and line numbers to the server for enhanced debuggability. Using Python, Susheel implemented this as an opt-in capability controlled by the SPARK_CONNECT_DEBUG_CLIENT_CALL_STACK environment variable, ensuring privacy and configurability. The feature integrates with backend systems by embedding call stack data in user_context.extensions within Spark Connect protobufs, and surfaces this information in OpenTelemetry spans. Susheel validated the implementation with targeted unit testing and provided documentation, demonstrating depth in API development, backend engineering, and debugging practices.
In January 2026, delivered a client-side code location transmission feature for Spark Connect, enabling the client to send function name, file name, and line number details to the Spark Connect server to improve debuggability and enable tracing of client errors without server access to client-side code. Implemented opt-in via the SPARK_CONNECT_DEBUG_CLIENT_CALL_STACK environment variable; the client app call stack is included in the user_context.extensions of Spark Connect protobufs when enabled. Added end-to-end tests (unit test: test_client_call_stack_trace.py) and aligned with SPARK-54314.
