# For an existing SparkConf, use the conf parameter.
from pyspark.conf import SparkConf
conf = SparkConf().setAppName("example").setMaster("local")
SparkSession.builder.config(conf=conf)

# For a (key, value) pair, you can omit the parameter names.
SparkSession.builder.config("spark.some.config.option", "some-value")

# Set multiple configurations.
SparkSession.builder.config(
    "spark.some.config.number", 123).config("spark.some.config.float", 0.123)

# Set multiple configurations using a dictionary.
SparkSession.builder.config(
